I don’t know how the time passed so quickly this year, but here we are and it’s already December, which means the holidays are right around the corner. As always, I am in fully cookie-making mode, but sometimes even I need a bread from the cookies.
Enter my Paleo Cinnamon Streusel Bread – I wanted to create a recipe that was a little more special than just a banana bread. I wanted to create something that had a little magic on the INSIDE. This bread is just that – the streusel topping is infused both inside and on top of the bread, for extra yum and crunch.
I also created this recipe so it’s low in sugar. The loaf is sweetened with bananas and only 1/4 cup of my favorite Manuka honey from Wedderspoon, and you’ll be surprised how good something tastes when it’s not loaded with sweetness.
If you give this recipe a try (trust me, you need to), make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see and repost! Leave a comment below and share your experience / tips / tricks with other readers.

Another amazing KJ recipe! I cheated and made this in the food processor and it still turned out amazing. I was also feeling lazy, so I only did the streusel topping on the very top but it didn’t impact the taste whatsoever. I also love that this bread uses coconut flour! KJ recipes never fail and this one is another favorite!
Omg this bread is DIVINE! Such a treat and now a usual among our xmas brunch spread 🙂
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much and I am so honored to be a part of your holidays and life! 🙂
What can I substitute for coconut flour?
How do you make the white glaze on top?
1 cup of organic powdered sugar + 3 tb water. It gets thick and you drizzle on top. It’s definitely optional though! 🙂
