Cinnamon Raisin Nut Bread
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup almond flour (we like Bob’s Red Mill)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (we like Bob’s Red Mill)
- 1/8 tsp Himalayan pink salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon (we like Kirkland’s Signature Ground Saigon Cinnamon)
- 3 eggs, organic
- 1/4 cup melted organic coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/4 cup organic, unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Cinnamon and Honey Glaze
- 3 Tbsp raw honey and 3 tsp ground cinnamon stirred together until well combined
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a 8-1/2” x 4-1/2” x 2-1/2” loaf pan, greasing well with coconut oil.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, stirring well.
- Mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl, stirring well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together until fully combined; then stir in the raisins and walnuts.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan and drizzle half of the cinnamon and honey glaze over the batter in the pan.
- Pour the remaining batter into the prepared loaf pan and drizzle the rest of the cinnamon and honey glaze over the top.
- Bake for about 40 minutes; test for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done; if there is still a bit of batter sticking to the toothpick, continue to bake for another 2 or 3 minutes until a new toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Enjoy!
