This Paleo Cinnamon Roll Quick Bread is so easy to make and tastes incredible! Tender cake with a sweet cinnamon swirl and drizzled with a thick glaze. Gluten free, dairy free, and naturally sweetened.
This bread!! You are going to love it! I have my Paleo Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake that is super popular, but this is even easier. Made in a loaf pan with less ingredients. They are both good and if you've tried and love the coffee cake then you will enjoy this as well.
Your house is going to smell amazing as this cooks- always an added bonus! Once it's done you can slice and eat it warm and it's especially good with the glaze drizzled on top.
Let's talk about the layers: the bread is simple and mixed in just minutes. A little cinnamon is added to the dough, but the majority of the cinnamon is used in the swirl and sprinkled on top. It makes it look pretty when cut and also gives a nice strong cinnamon flavor. The glaze is coconut butter and maple syrup and it adds a little more sweetness.
The texture of this bread is perfect. Moist without being eggy or spongey. A little dense while still being soft. It slices great and doesn't crumble apart.
This is a treat that everyone will love! It's sweet and there's just something about cinnamon bread that is comforting.

This bread is SO GOOD! I’ve made it twice in the last two days. I was craving something similar to Amish friendship bread (but healthier) and this recipe caught my eye. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!

Very good! I made this without the glaze & used honey and coconut cream as that is what I had in cupboard. Moist & tasty.. Hubbie loves it too
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for making it, Sue and so glad you and your hubby love it!
Emily says
Hi! If I don’t want to use a liquid sweetener like syrup, should I up the milk to 1 cup to balance the liquid/dry ratio?
Jessica DeMay says
Yes, that will work! Hope you enjoy!
