Gluten Free Cinnamon Almond Bread Ingredients

Below are the key ingredients used to make this cinnamon almond flour bread recipe. However, you’ll also need a few additional pantry staples. So, be sure to double-check the ingredient list in the recipe card below to ensure you have everything you need.

• Grain free Flour – A combination of almond and coconut flour creates a soft and tender bread without the need for gluten or immense amounts of carbs.
  
• Flaxseed Meal – Contribute to the dense texture and provide an extra boost of healthy fats and fiber. If needed, chia seed meal can be substituted instead.
  
• Room Temperature Eggs – Not a low-calorie food, this almond flour bread contains 5 large whole eggs and one egg white for a fluffier texture that’s loaded with protein and nutrients.
  
• Apple Cider Vinegar – Used to lighten up the dough and help it rise without gluten-containing wheat or yeast.
  
• Maple Syrup or Honey – Contributes just a hint of sweetness without the need for refined sugar.
  
• Cinnamon – Adjust to taste. The more the merrier right? Plus it’s loaded with antioxidants!
  
• Chia Seeds – Optional but recommended, chia seeds can be sprinkled on top for added texture, omega fatty acids, and fiber!

How to Make the Best Almond Flour Bread Recipe

If you think homemade bread is difficult to make, think again! This cinnamon almond bread comes together with ease and is ready in less than an hour. Watch how it comes together below!

• Preheat. To begin, preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit, line a bread pan with parchment paper, grease the sides, and set it aside.
  
• Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, flaxseed meal, and ½ a tablespoon of cinnamon.
  
• Whisk the wet ingredients. In a second small bowl, combine the eggs and egg white until smooth. Then, add in the maple syrup or honey, apple cider vinegar, and oil, stirring to combine.

• Combine the ingredients. Working in batches, slowly mix the wet and dry ingredients, making sure to remove any clumps. NOTE – The batter will look super thick, but don’t add more liquid! As long as it looks similar to the pictures above, it’ll turn out great.
  
• Bake. Pour the batter into the bread pan, and bake until a toothpick can be inserted into the center and comes out clean.
  

• Glaze. Whisk melted butter with the rest of the cinnamon, and brush the mixture on top of the almond bread.
  
• Cool. Set the bread aside to cool. Once the cinnamon topping has set, slice, and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

Adjust the Pan Size. If you don’t have an 8×4 bread pan, don’t worry. A bigger size can be used. Your bread won’t be quite as fluffy, but it will be every bit as tasty!

Make Your Own Flaxseed or Chia Seed Meal. To make the flaxseed or chia meal, simply place the flaxseeds or chia seeds in a coffee grinder or food processor, and grind until a fine meal-like texture is formed.

Keep an Eye on the Oven. This recipe typically takes between 30-35 minutes to bake. However, depending on your oven and altitude, cooking times will vary. So, be sure to keep an eye on your bread, and remove it from the oven if it starts to look golden brown before the baking time is up.

Create a Sweet Cinnamon Almond Bread. For a sweet breakfast bread, feel free to add extra maple syrup or honey to the dough, and add a sprinkle of coconut sugar to the cinnamon glaze.

Make Ahead & Freezing Options

This almond bread recipe is so tasty you’re gonna want to go ahead and make 2…or 3 loaves. Luckily, they’re great to make in advance and keep on hand! Once cooled, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Or, slice the bread, wrap each piece individually with plastic wrap, and transfer them to a sealable bag where they can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.

To enjoy, warm the bread in the toaster (thawed or frozen), add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
