Cinnamon raisin bread is just my absolute favorite! Which means I have pretty high expectations for it.
It took me three tries to get this one right – but I’m SO happy with how it turned out!
This bread is soft like a sandwich bread and the slices “bend” without breaking.
It rises perfectly without yeast (woohoo!) which can be hard to come by with paleo bread!
It also has a cinnamon swirl and lots of sweet raisins – because that’s basically the whole point of cinnamon raisin bread, right?!
What You Need To Make Paleo Cinnamon Raisin Bread
The ingredients are simple and if you make my other baking recipes, you probably have all the ingredients already!
Here’s what you’ll need to make this cinnamon raisin bread:
blanched almond flour tapioca flour (or arrowroot)golden flaxseed mealmaple sugar or coconut sugarcinnamonfine sea saltaluminum free baking powderbaking soda eggs egg whites almond milk or light coconut milk apple cider vinegar refined coconut oil, or ghee vanilla extract raisins
How to Make Paleo Cinnamon Raisin Bread
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.
Perfect Toppings for Your Cinnamon Raisin Bread
This bread is great to serve with breakfast or for a snack anytime! It toasts well and I love it topped with almond butter, honey and banana slices.
You can also serve it toasted for breakfast with a little butter or ghee and some fried eggs! It’s also delicious as-is right after slicing. Experiment with all your favorite toast toppings and go with your cravings 🙂
How to Store Paleo Cinnamon Raisin Bread
After slicing (the loaf makes 16-18 slices) serve right away. For the leftovers, you can leave the bread loosely covered after slicing at room temperature for the first day.
If you know you’ll want to keep it for awhile, wrap it tightly to store in the refrigerator or freezer. It will keep well for up to a month in the freezer and a week in the refrigerator.
If freezing, thaw in the refrigerator before toasting to reheat. I like a toaster oven best rather than a pop-up toaster, but either should work well.
I hope you’re ready to bake this yummy paleo cinnamon raisin bread! Grab your ingredients and get your oven preheated – I hope you enjoy!
