Paleo Apple Cinnamon Bread

This Paleo Apple Cinnamon Bread is a delicious breakfast or snack made with almond flour! It’s a gluten-free spiced loaf that’s so easy and moist.

This season is all about pumpkin, I know. But, it’s also about apples. A few years back we went apple picking when the boys were toddlers. It proved to be more challenging than expected. They saw an apple and immediately wanted to sink their teeth into it. They didn’t understand the whole collect, weigh, pay, wash thing. 

And then we realized apple picking wasn’t as fun as we wanted it to be so we bought our apples and left. haha wait, I feel like I started that story thinking it was going to be a cute apple picking story to tie in the apples in this apple bread but as I typed I realized it wasn’t as cute of a story as I originally thought lol. We never went apple picking again.

Paleo Apple Cinnamon Bread

This bread is so perfect for grabbing an easy slice for breakfast or a snack. I love to slather some peanut butter or almond butter on it. Mix up some butter and cinnamon and some sweetener for a deliciously autumn butter topping. 

If you love homemade breads as much as I do, try this pumpkin bread! Or this double chocolate banana bread, or this coconut almond banana bread, or this seedy craisin flax bread!

So let’s dive into this recipe and make some deliciously easy and moist gluten free apple cinnamon bread!

Paleo Apple Cinnamon Bread

Whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Fold in the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sea salt, and apples until everything is well combined.

Pour the batter into a greased and lined loaf pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the top of the bread is golden brown. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, slice and serve!

    This was so good and not too sweet! I shredded one apple and cut a second one into little pieces. I also upped the cinnamon as well as sprinkled a coconut sugar/cinnamon combo over the top. This will be a staple in my house!
