Gluten-free Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread

When coffee cake meets banana bread meets cinnamon roll, we get this wonderfully tender and fluffy breakfast bread. With spongy banana bread and layers of sweet cinnamon swirls throughout, it’s the ultimate breakfast treat or snack. Made with clean, natural ingredients like almond flour, bananas, coconut sugar, and cinnamon.

The classic banana bread that got a major cinnamon sugar makeover. Think fluffy, moist banana bread with layers of decadent coconut sugar & sweet cinnamon. My favorite part has to be the cinnamon crumble on top. When baked, the mixture creates these divine hardened clumps of pure deliciousness.

Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread Key Ingredients

Bananas

• Well, you can’t have banana bread without bananas! The best bananas for this recipe are overripe meaning they are soft to the touch and the peel is beginning to brown.

Eggs

• This makes the banana bread super fluffy. Don’t care for eggs? Easily replace with 2 flax eggs or an egg replacer like this one.

Coconut Milk + Apple Cider Vinegar

• This combo provides for a cake-like texture that is incredible! I promise, you won’t taste the apple cider vinegar.

Tapioca Flor

• Like I said, we want fluffy and airy banana bread. Tapioca flour cuts the density from the almond flour which can sometimes lead to a heavy bread. You can substitute arrow root starch or corn starch if you don’t have tapioca flour.
