Cinnamon Swirl Bread (Grain Free, Dairy Free)

This bread is the perfect breakfast or dessert. I would probably classify it as a dessert that you eat for breakfast.

The texture is amazing, thanks to my triple-flour bread combo: I use this ratio often in my quick bread recipes, and it works perfectly for most breads! I realize it can be intimidating to bake with three flours, but I promise you it is worth it. Plus, you only use small amounts of each flour so, they end up lasting longer!

ingredients

1. Almond Flour: Provides a base with a nutty flavor and tender texture, essential for grain-free baking.
2. Coconut Flour: Adds absorbency and a light coconut taste, complementing the overall flavor profile.
3. Tapioca Flour: Helps improve the bread’s texture, making it chewier and helping it bind better, which is particularly useful in gluten-free recipes.
4. Eggs: Critical for adding structure and moisture, helping to bind all the dry ingredients effectively.
5. Non-dairy Milk: Such as almond or coconut milk, to maintain the recipe’s dairy-free status while adding necessary liquid.
6. Coconut or Raw Cane Sugar: These natural sweeteners replace maple syrup, providing a gentle sweetness and contributing to a slightly different flavor profile; coconut sugar adds a caramel-like flavor, while raw cane sugar offers a pure, less processed sweetness.
7. Cinnamon: Essential for the characteristic warm and spicy swirl, offering both flavor

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Grain-free cinnamon swirl bread is a delightful, aromatic treat perfect for those on a grain-free diet. The recipebegins with a base of almond and coconut flours to keep it gluten-free and Paleo.

The cinnamon swirl is created by mixing cinnamon and a granulated sweetener of choice, such as monk fruit or erythritol, which is then sprinkled over the batter. To create the swirl effect, a knife is run through the batter in a spiral pattern before baking. The bread is baked until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once cooled, it can be sliced and served as is or lightly toasted, making it a perfect companion for your morning coffee or a cozy afternoon snack.

Notes

With grain-free loaves, I prefer to use a medium-sized loaf pan. I find it gives the best rise. This is purely an aesthetic thing, so if you don’t mind a shorter-looking loaf, you can use a large loaf pan.

Let you bread cool in the oven to prevent the top from sinking. Do not open the oven to check on the loaf too often, or it will sink.

Line your loaf pans with parchment paper so you can easily lift the bread out after it is done and cooled.
