Flourless Cinnamon Date Bread (gf + paleo)
Dates are honestly a miracle fruit. They are so incredibly sweet with natural sugars and are loaded with potassium, fiber, and other nutrients. Almond flour is also basically a miracle. Who would have imagined that ground up almonds could make a “flour” that turns into the most delicious, moist, flavorful bread ever? Blows my mind. On top of how good almond flour tastes, it has crazy nutritional value with fiber, healthy fats and protein. Since that’s the only flour I put in this recipe, the bread is fairly low carb too (not that carbs are bad – I love ‘em!).
The ingredients in this bread are so wholesome that it can def pass as breakfast, but it’s also sweet enough for dessert. If you’re going for a dessert vibe, try serving the bread with whipped coconut cream to make it extra special. I also added the option of lessening the agave to ½ cup for people who like things a little less sweet. Since this bread is so moist, I don’t think taking the bit of liquid out will hurt it at all.
Happy Baking!
