Cinnamon Raisin/Craisin Bread {Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free}
This cinnamon raisin bread is gluten free, dairy free and paleo but has a texture close to traditional sandwich bread. It's great to toast and top with nut butter and sliced banana or as a breakfast side with melted butter or ghee! If you love cinnamon raisin bread this grain free version will become a new favorite!
- 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 1/4 cups tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup golden flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp maple sugar or coconut sugar, divided (I used maple syrup=equally good!)
- 2 Tbsp cinnamon divided
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup almond milk or light coconut milk
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp melted refined coconut oil or ghee
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup raisins divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a medium metal loaf pan with parchment (I used 8.5 x 4.5).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, flaxseed meal, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda and stir well, set aside. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 Tbsp sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and vanilla until well combined. With a silicone spatula, Stir the dry mixture into the wet until no flour spots show. Fold in 1/2 cup of the raisins.
- Transfer HALF of the batter to the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture, and top with the second half of the batter. Sprinkle the remaining raisins on top and smooth gently with a silicone spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then lift the loaf out using the parchment overhang and continue to cool on the wire rack until room temperature. I recommend waiting until fully cooled to slice.
After slicing (16-18 slices) serve right away. You can leave the bread loosely covered after slicing at room temperature for the first day, or wrap it tightly to store in the refrigerator or freezer. If freezing, thaw in the refrigerator. This loaf will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week or the freezer for 1 month. Enjoy!
