Cinnamon Crunch Loaf (THM S)
keto friendly / gf / df option
Mandy: My husband loves the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel from a special bagel place. It’s his special birthday treat every year (and sometimes on Bagel Tuesday)! I enjoy my sprouted grain bagels, but looking over at the big crunchy deliciousness was making me weak in the knees. So, as is the case whenever I get a temptation, into the kitchen I went for some mad experimenting!
This time worked out better than ever! All the deliciousness without the junk. I even like to whip up a batch of Wonderfully Made and Dearly Loved‘s Sugar Free Cinnamon Baking Chips (recipe linked below) to avoid any needless fillers.
Nothing but slimming goodness here!

Make the topping! Combine all ingredients except cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook until crystalized and bubbly. Pour onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze.
When ready to make your loaf, take out of the freezer and place topping mixture into a food processor with the cinnamon. Pulse until well mixed but still chunky. Set aside.

Combine all dry ingredients and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Then, slowly combine the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
Spray a bread pan with coconut oil spray. Pour bread mixture into bread pan and use the back of the spoon to smooth. Top with the Cinnamon Crunch topping.
Tent the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
