Today I want to help kick start a meal prep routine! We’ve updated this Low sugar cinnamon almond flour bread recipe with a RECIPE VIDEO BELOW. That way you can see step by step just how to make it; for breakfast, meal prep, etc. It’s SUPER easy and nutritious!
ENJOY!
OK. I’m just gonna go ahead and pat myself on the back here. This is my second meal prep recipe post in a span of 2 weeks. Oh my goodness. Who have I turned into? I’ll tell you who, someone who is actually getting organized with meal prep. And this super light and soft cinnamon almond flour bread has been a staple meal prep bread that we now can’t live without. Okay we could live without it, but who would really want to? I’ll get to that in a minute though.
Let’s talk about breakfast meal prep, Paleo meal prep, and all the easy meal prep recipes!
I have a feeling that a lot of people are in the same “oh my gosh I need to start prepping for healthier meals in advance ” kind of boat. Am I right?
You know … the back to work, back to routine, in need of 30 minute healthy dinner and lunch box ideas! Ideas like these might help. The portable mason jar power lunch, make ahead instant soup jars (with EASY prep), the grab and go breakfast wraps, and post workout breakfast cookies. No matter what your health goals might look like this year, I think it’s safe to say we all feel the need to get our meals (and life) organized. It keeps us sane!
But sometimes it’s overwhelming to know where to start. Goodness, that’s where I am, or was. I was questioning what to make that will last long, freeze well, and could be used multiple times in a week.
If you don’t know where to start with meal prep, might I suggest you start with the meal that many of us struggle to find time to eat or make?! Yep, breakfast! Hence this almond flour bread recipe. Freezable, easy to make, and it’s chock full of antioxidant rich ingredients! Not to mention it makes your house smell delicious; calming that anxious meal planning heart. Ha ha ha. Just kidding.
How do you make bread with almond flour?
Well, it’s easy! Just a few staple ingredients needed!
- Ground flaxseed
- Almond flour
- A small bit of Coconut flour
- Eggs
- Butter or Coconut Oil
- Cinnamon
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Touch of honey
- Chia Seed or nut butter to top, or BOTH!
You see, all the tasty superfood ingredients you need in a meal. But in bread form. Literally the bread of life! Haha. Naturally rich in omega 3’s, Protein, Healthy Fats, fiber, and as mentioned above, ANTIOXIDANTS. The cinnamon also helps bring out the naturally sweetness of almond flour bread. Which helps keep it lower in sugar and carbohydrates. Totally didn’t plan that, but I’ll take it!
And I must say, it pairs perfectly with butter, honey, cream cheese, peanut butter, almond butter, jam, or even a fried egg on top.

RECIPE TUTORIAL & VIDEO for QUICK CINNAMON ALMOND FLOUR BREAD
Now you know why I am in love with cinnamon almond flour bread, aka meal prep bread. Where do I get all these ingredients? One place. H-E-B grocery store ya’ll!
Where to Buy Almond Flour:
H-E-B is one of my absolute favorite grocery stores in Texas. And now I can order groceries online as well. Although I do miss going in and exploring all the new items in the H-E-B. H-E-B grocery has just about every product under the sun. They carry some of my favorite healthy staple brands such as Bob’s red Mill and PB 2 Flour.
They also have their own Central Market (an American gourmet grocery store chain owned by H-E-B) organic line, which we adore! I love the Chia and flaxseed, which is what I used in this almond flour bread today.
So, shall we get to baking?
Side note: You will definitely want to make multiple loaves of this bread and freeze some. It goes fast! In the best possible way.

- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 8 1x
Description
This delicious cinnamon almond flour bread is a versatile low carb, gluten free and paleo bread recipe the whole family loves! Simple ingredients, nourishing, soft and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fine blanched almond flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup Flax seed meal or chia meal (ground chia or flaxseed, see notes for how to make your own)
- 5 Eggs and 1 egg white whisked together
- 1.5 tsp Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 2–3 tbsp of clarified butter (melted) or Coconut oil; divided. Vegan butter also works
- 1 tbsp cinnamon plus extra for topping
- Optional chia seed to sprinkle of top before baking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×4 bread pan with parchment paper at the bottom and grease the sides.
- In a large bowl, mix together your almond flour, coconut flour, salt, baking soda, flaxseed meal or chia meal, and 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon.
- In another small bowl, whisk together your eggs and egg white. Then add in your maple syrup (or honey), apple cider vinegar, and melted butter (1.5 to 2 tbsp).
- Mix wet ingredients into dry. Be sure to remove any clumps that might have occurred from the almond flour or coconut flour.
- Pour batter into a your greased loaf pan.
- Bake at 350º for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean. Mine too around 35 minutes but I am at altitude.
Remove from and oven. - Next, whisk together the other 1 to 2 tbsp of melted butter (or oil) and mix it with 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon. Brush this on top of your cinnamon almond flour bread.
- Cool and serve or store for later.
Notes
- For storage, it’s best to keep wrapped in foil or ziplock in fridge. The bread freezes well for meal prep.
- If you you use a larger pan, the loaf slices will be less fluffy but equally delicious.
- To make the flaxseed or chia meal, simply place the the flaxseeds or chia seeds in a coffee grinder and grind until a fine meal is formed.

NOw that is some nutrionally dense bread! But I bet it is delish
Looveeee the looks of this! Can’t beat a good cinnamon bread. I’ve tried baking bread with almond flour a couple times and I love the texture!
Me too! So soft and airy. I might have baked 3 loafs on purpose ?
I will making this during the weekend– I need to get on the meal prep so badly again! Little man starts school and they have been eating like Animals…I can’t keep up with cooking!
I wish I could send all my food I have here!!
Oh man, here it goes… my quick Bread obsession starting back up! And to think this recipe is paleo. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start when making Paleo bread so this recipe is a little gem and so perfect for school lunch or after schools snacks. ?
i know. me too! I just made 3 loafs! LOL!
Can this be used on the whole 30 diet if I leave out the honey?
It would be using whole 30 ingredients, yes! but I think whole 30 doesn’t allow for baking, right? I could be wrong. I know they want you to stray away from baking paleo foods.
I can see myself snacking on this all day long, looks incredible!
This bread is seriously perfection!!
Love this idea!! I need to try it ASAP!
yes, keep me posted!
My family always does a brunch for Labor Day. There are always delicious breads that I can’t eat due to allergies but this year, I may need to make this so I can have that fun treat and still share with everyone else!
will you invite me? LOL!
Can you feel it Lindsay? I’m patting you on the back too! This bread looks fabulous! When summer winds down, I begin to think of warm, cinnamony things! So this bread needs to happen very soon at my house!

Cinnamon BREAD!!!! I have still yet to really make a LOAF OF BREAD before – so I think I need to start by making something similar to this…. My problem is, I cannot hold myself back from EATING IT ALLLLLLLLLL!
Oh boy oh boy I’m so excited about this; it sounds delicious, and I love making sweet breads. They’re probably my favorite baked good. If I didn’t have coconut flour is there any other flour I could use?
Totally thought of you! In stead of coconut flour, you could try 3 -4 tbsp tapioca or oat flour. But watch the baking time. I haven’t tried it, so keep me posted!
this looks easy and Yummy — my two favorite parts of a recipe !! quick Question: what would you recommend substituting for the coconut flour in this recipe? (i don’t do coconut, slightly allergic…)
thank you !!
Hi Catharine! In stead of coconut flour, you could try 3 -4 tbsp tapioca, rice flour, or oat flour. But watch the baking time. I haven’t tried it, so keep me posted! Coconut flour absorbs fast so you always use less.
oh yum! Il love how hearty this bread looks!
This bread looks and sounds so hearty! I want to reach right in a grab a slice! And I just love baking with almond flour. Can’t wait to try this out.
This looks so good! I have all of the ingredients for this and definitely need to give it a try!!
This would definitely make my kitchen smell FANTASTIC!!
Ooh, this loos so amazing! So often, paleo/gf breads are made with hard to find ingredients, I love how this looks so simple to make! And, of course, love Central Market 🙂
Sounds delish!!
The weather has been perfect for bread here. Coolish with a side of comfort. I think this qualifies. Plus I love the combination of almond and cinnamon.
Seriously, I love the taste of cinnamon in bakes goods! I can practically smell it already!
I ate it at the restaurant and enjoyed it. I tried many times but failed. Today saw your guide I learned a lot and drawn many useful things. I believe this time I will succeed. Thanks a lot!

This is wonderful and so unique! Thanks for a great new bread. Made it with my three year old’s help and we shared it with friends and ate almost the whole loaf in one sitting! I added a tiny bit of coconut sugar to make it slightly sweeter.
Oh that is wonderful! So glad to hear Dorothy! Great memories.
Can I use tapioca or arrowroot flour instead of coconut flour? Thank you..
I would try 3 tbsp arrowroot. Keep me posted!

★★★

HI.
I have Cassava flour. Can that be substituted for
Coconut flour
I think so! Maybe try 3 tbsp since coconut flour is more dry. Keep me posted!
I can’t have flax or chia right now. Do you think I would need to increase one of the flours if I left them out? Thanks!
can you have ground psyllium husks? You need a little binder but you could totally try this without. Not sure about texture though.
I guess so. I’ve never heard of that. I can’t have any grains or seeds.
I just found your site, this recipe, and just finished making it! It smells amazing! I can’t wait to try it! I think my toddlers will love it!
Oh wonderful! Thanks Jill. Let me know how it turns out!
Hi Lindsey, my wife and I will bake this tomorrow. Thank you in advance for making eating healthy delicious!
Wonderful! Keep me posted David!
Hi! Do you have the macro count for this recipe?
★★★★★
Has anyone tried to make this recipe in a bread machine? Would you know which settings to use for it?
I haven’t yet. But have you tried other paleo breads in the bread machine? If so, it would be similar settings Hopefully!
NM-Just saw it already posted @ the bottom of the recipe….lol!
Love starting my morning with this! Keeps me full for hours too!
★★★★★
Portion control. Just saying. Five eggs to replace how many wheat plants? Gluten is part of evolution of humans transversing the globe. Maybe wheat is not the enemy. (The egg -laying chickens agree with me…..portion control.)
★★★
I actually tried this with aquafaba too! But it didn’t rise as much.
Was looking for a low-carb bread to make in small loaves and include with jams in a Christmas gift basket. This was PERFECT. Moist with comforting spiciness. I did add a little Splenda to both the bread and the topping – forgive me, but I do like things a bit sweeter than what the small amount of maple syrup could provide. Will definitely make again!
★★★★★
Oh I love that you made it as a gift! IT’s so cozy yet light! Thank you for your feedback Alayne. Merry Christmas!
This bread has me counting down the minutes until breakfast!
This came out perfect and everyone loved it. I had to reduce the backing time a bit because I have a convection oven and I added chopped dates, cranberries and pecans. Thanks for a great recipe.
★★★★★
Thank you for the recipe! I used 1/2 coconut flour and 1/2 almond since I didn’t have enough almond flour– it is VERY dry. Is that why?? Can coconut flour not be substituted for almond?
Also I omitted the honey since I am not eating sugar right now. It smells amazing but a little hard to eat. Maybe I shouldn’t have omitted the honey and/or substituted the flours. Thoughts!?! I’m mad because it smells amazing!
★★★★★
Oh no, yes coconut flour is pretty sensitive, I never use more that 4 tbsp in a bread. But you could totally try adding a topping, like more coconut oil with cinnamon. Haha I have done this before. Another option, slice it and then use it in a bread pudding with eggs and almond milk. YOu can make it savory or sweet!
Could you make muffins using this recipe?
Texture was spot on! I was hoping for something a little sweeter, but we topped with cinnamon honey and that solved that dilemma! Thanks for a great recipe!
★★★★
Yes, you can totally add in more sugar, but I like that you can add the honey topping! Good choice!
Can eggs be substituted with something else?
★★★★
Hm replacing the egg actually might be a little bit tricky in this recipe! If you are looking for an egg free/vegan bread loaf, I think you’d like this tea cake bread! https://www.cottercrunch.com/maple-earl-grey-tea-cake-loaf/#tasty-recipes-43012
Does this work as muffins??
I haven’t tried it, but i think it just might work! just adjust baking time. Maybe check after 25 mintues
This bread is what I had for breakfast the last week, and I have another one in the oven right now. It’s that good!!
Woohoo I love it!! Thank you-enjoy! ❤️
Hi,
I made it and it came out delicious!!!! My husband and daughter loved it too. It’s a great recipe and I’m going to make it again! Thank you so much, RT 🙂
(ps-I took some pictures if you like to see :-))
Oh wonderful Roni! Yes, would love pictures. Did you share on social media?
I have made this recipe a handful of times and love it! This time i added some scoops of Cinnamon Roll Protein from Bowmar Nutrition – YUMMMM!
★★★★★
Oh that’s amazing! So going to try it
I just found your site, this recipe, and just finished making it! It smells amazing! I can’t wait to try it! I think my toddlers will love it!
I love the smell too! I hope you all enjoy-thank you!
Amazing recipe, gonna try this right now for sure!
★★★★★
Woohoo! Keep me posted on how it goes
There are always delicious breads that I can’t eat due to allergies but this year, I may need to make this
Let me know if you try it!
do u have to use flaxseed?
you do need a binder. Do you have chia seed? you can grind that and use as well.
Can you feel it Lindsay? I’m patting you on the back too!
★★★★
haha why thank you. 😉
amazing recipe! gonna try it out soon.
Thank you! Enjoy:)
Thank you for this wonderful paleo bread recipe.it tastes really great.
★★★★★
I’m so glad! Thank you
Lindsay,
This bread is very easy to throw together! When its made it makes the kitchen smell fantastic.
On my first attempt, the bread had great flavor for what was there but lacked the significant cinnamon flavor I was hoping for. Additionally, my sample was incredibly dry. I used coconut oil (apposed to butter) and honey (opposed to maple syrup), otherwise I followed every direction just as its written out. Do you have any advice for changing these two features?
Nathan
Oh no, sorry to hear that nathan. I’m thinking there are two factors that could play into this. One, what type of coconut flour did you use? Brand? YOu might need to sift it before adding to almond flour. The other fact could be over mixing the eggs. I would try sifting the flours together first. Does that me sense?
So delicious! I’m making my second go round today. I’ve been topping the slices with melted coconut manna and it might as well be a healthy version of a cinnamon bun. Pair it with a good cup of coffee and it’s a heavenly and filling breakfast.
Have you tried making these as muffins? If so, what were the cooking times? Thanks!
Oh i love the melted coconut manna! Totally trying that! Thanks Kristen.
This was a delicious recipe to try for my first time making bread! I didn’t have coconut flour so I just added a little bit more almond flour and it worked great! I also used vegan butter and honey which didn’t alter the taste at all. I also added a swirl of cinnamon in the middle, which my family thought was cute. I would rate this a 10/10, and would definitely make it again.
★★★★★
Love it! So glad it worked out Hope!
Just wondering can I leave the flax and chia out? I can’t have seeds?
Thanks
JoAnn
I don’t think it would bind as well, but worth a shot!
THanks
I’m going to make this but lean it in a savory direction. I’m going to leave out the maple syrup/honey/ cinnamon, but up the salt to a teaspoon and throw in some garlic powder or maybe some everything bagel seasoning and herbs. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work well, do you? I like the look of this loaf but I’m trying to train my palate away from sweet flavors right now. I’ll let you know how it works out!
Sent you an email! I say go for it! Or i gave a seedy paleo bread. 😉
It came out GREAT! I made it with the subtractions I mentioned earlier, but with the addition of Everything Bagel seasoning, plus some minced chives and lemon zest. It was really delicious and satisfying! I just toasted a slice and am now eating it with a schmear of chive cream cheese, some ribbons of smoked salmon and topped off with some capers and shaved red onion! Thanks for a great recipe!!
★★★★★
What does the coconut flour do for this recipe? If I don’t have any, can I leave it out or substitute? Thanks!
Coconut flour help absorb the liquid and set the bread with almond flour. Do you have another starch flours?
Just made it I added 1/4 cup of raisins to the dry.. delicious, great texture.
Oh great idea with the raisins! Thanks Char.
Yuum. I just made it today. Waiting for it to come out. Let you know how it comes out
Awesome! Can’t wait to hear about it Brenda!
Loved this bread!! My 7 year old son adored it too!! It was super simple to make and didn’t have complicated ingredients. Thanks for the recipe!
★★★★★
You’re welcome, Rachel! So glad ya’ll loved it!
if i omit the honey would it totally throw off the recipe?
Nope, you can definitely skip if needed.
This looks and sounds delish! Can’t do added sugars (honey, maple, etc) would an alternative liquid sweetener work? Liquid Stevia or Greenleaf?
Sure! I’ve used monk fruit sweetener before too, it works great!
Can I use any gluten free flax and
ancient all purpose baking flour by premium gold?
I’m not sure the bread would work with all purpose flour. do you have almond flour?
I can’t eat eggs, nor coconut flour. Could I sub in psyllium husks for the coconut flour and chia eggs for the eggs? thx
Unfortunately, I don’t think that would work. You could try my vegan tea cake loaf though! It’s coconut free and egg free https://www.cottercrunch.com/maple-earl-grey-tea-cake-loaf/ Just sub coconut sugar for raw sugar
Please include gram weights of ingredients.
★★
It’s on my list to do. Do you need grams for this recipe now?
I made this bread for my 16 month old son and he loves it! I spread either almond butter or peanut butter on it for him and he gobbles it up. We don’t feed him gluten and so this was a great way to use up all the almond flour I have and didn’t know what to do with. I love that the bread is savory with a hint of sweetness. I froze half the loaf for later use since it’s for my toddler and he still eats small portions. I did use a bigger loaf pan and it still turned out great. I also used less cinnamon in mine and olive oil instead of butter or coconut oil as that’s all I had on hand. It was great! This will be a future staple for us. Thank you.
★★★★★
Hi, Sheena! I’m so happy to hear that the bread was a success for you with your ingredient changes. And YAY for toddler happiness!
