In a medium bowl, combine the flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another medium bowl, combine the buttermilk (and honey or fruit juice concentrate, if using) and vanilla. On low speed, beat the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.Spoon batter into pan(s).Bake the 9 x 5-inch loaf for 50-55 minutes; 35-45 minutes for 5 x 21⁄2-inch pans or until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
