Easy to make Almond Flour Cinnamon Bread with minimal ingredients, swirls of cinnamon and an irresistible streusel topping! Delicious, guilt free holiday bread with a light and fluffy texture.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line 9 x 5 loaf pan with unbleached parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, baking powder + soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk well until combined.
Add almond flour (don’t forget to skim the top of measuring cup with a knife) and mix gently with spatula to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Pour half batter into previously prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with half amount of cinnamon sugar.
Pour remaining batter on top, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and swirl with butter knife.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Bread will brown nicely on the outside because sugar plus brown cinnamon.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool off for 10 minutes. Holding onto the flaps of parchment paper remove bread from a loaf pan and let it cool off for another 30-60 minutes before slicing with sharp serrated knife. Because of crusty streusel like topping, bread might fall apart if you attempt to slice it whole hot.
Notes
Store: Store covered in a cool dry place for up to 5 days.
Freeze: Up to 3 months in an airtight container.
Sweetener: I have used maple syrup in loaf and made swirl with both sugar and erythritol.
For the swirl, it’s important to use dry sweetener.
Dairy free: I believe you can replace yogurt with applesauce or mashed banana.
Egg free: You can try to use chia egg, results may be more dense/flatter.
If you have regular yogurt, strain it through a cheesecloth or linen kitchen towel for 1-2 hours. Measure after and use leftover whey to make pancakes or discard.
