Ingredients:
| 1 ¼ cup water | ¼ cup raisins | 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted |
| ¾ cup chickpea flour | ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut | 1 tablespoon cinnamon + more for sprinkling |
| ½ cup buckwheat flour | 1 tablespoon coconut sugar |
Directions
Preheat oven to 375F
- Prepare a 9x9 pan by lining it with parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet – this helps for getting the bread out when it’s done baking!
- Measure out all ingredients in a medium-large sized bowl. Now either by using your own arm strength or an electric mixer mix the ingredients together. After a few minutes you should have the consistency that’s a little thicker than a pancake batter.
- Empty contents into your baking pan and sprinkle the top with the extra cinnamon. Make sure to use a spatula to get all the batter in the pan, it’s too good to waste.
- The bread takes roughly 30-35minutes to bake. You’ll be able to tell when it’s done when the sides turn brown, and the top of the bread starts to split.
- After removing from the oven, allow the bread to sit and cool for 10 minutes prior to lifting it out and cutting it into slices.
Make It This Way
For an extra healthy adventure, try grinding your own buckwheat flour. Soak hulled buckwheat groats in water for 15 minutes, rinse well and grind into flour by using a food processor, high-speed blender or a 200-250 watt coffee grinder. It's fresh, has no added fillers and it’s easy.

Cinamon raisin bread is definitely underrated, this looks delicious and so simple to make! I love cinnamon in the morning so this would be so great for breakfast. I know there are a lot of health benefits to cinnamon and raisins also have great health benefits too which is great! I love how this is gluten free as well as it can accommodate more people. Thank you so much for sharing, this looks like a great, simple, healthy, and delicious thing to make for a breakfast or quick snack!
Hello Olivia,
Yes, this is a great recipe to try instead of buying in store, with far less sugar too. Enjoy this for your next breakfast!
Stay healthy & well.
Bread making has become a new hobby of mine, as for many others, it started during quarantine but is something that I really enjoy and try to keep up with. I have tried the traditional bread, sourdough bread and have even tried adding a few flavours into my breads before so I love finding recipes that are different from 'regular' bread and incorporate fun flavours. Cinnamon and raisin's are a great combination for a breakfast bread too so this would be a great one to try.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing. Homemade bread can't be beat. This flavour combination is a classic and makes a nice sweet & savoury breakfast or mid-day snack. Cinnamon has many health benefits, check out this article to learn all about them:

Have a healthy day.
My roomate was toasting cinnamon raisin toast over the weekend and a poor raisin or two never qquite made it into her meal (left behind)-what delightful sweet, plump raisins!: seeing this gave me a cinnamon toast craving. I love this riff on the recipe: this is a superior version of cinnamon toast with delicious quality ingredients that deliver in the flavor department. The coconut oil, I bet, is amazing and buckwheat has such a distinct and wholesome flavor that I bet is wonderful in the context of a cinnamon bread. I might just have to make my own cinnamon raisin bread...and I'll share with my roommate if I do! Thank you for the inspiration again, NN Team! <3
