Cinnamon raisin bread

This cinnamon raisin bread is Paleo-friendly, with no flour used at all, but full of juicy raisins and cinnamon

Every now and then I get a craving for bread.  Specially cinnamon raisin bread.  So I can toast it and slather it with some form of spread.  Now I’ve tried some of the commercially available gluten-free cinnamon raisin breads and, I don’t know, I enjoy the first two slices and then it’s a struggle to eat the rest of them.  So I decided to come up with my own version, because that’s what I do!

This cinnamon raisin bread is based on my Paleo bread recipe – with obviously cinnamon and raisins added.  And a little bit of sweetener – but it’s only 2 tablespoons for the whole loaf.  So if you cut the loaf into 12 slices, you’re really not having that much added sweetener at all.  The raisins just burst with natural sweetness and the cinnamon, well, that’s what makes this cinnamon raisin bread!

I made this one weekend, sliced it up, took the photos (as you see above), had my two slices with ghee, then put it in a ziplock bag in the freezer.  Halfway through that week I went to have some more, only to find that Grant had been eating it.  And finished it.  Now, Grant is quite a picky bread eater, especially with all my special dietary requirements, so if he loved it, you will too!

Give it a go and see what you think!
