Paleo Morning Glory Bread

You’ll love the moist and dense flavor of this Morning Glory Bread! A perfect breakfast or snack on the go, packed with apples, coconut, carrots, raisins, and walnuts. This bread is grain-free, refined sugar free, and oh so delicious!

I would like to introduce you to your new favorite breakfast treat. I am super excited about this bread you guys. Holy smokes. I had one of these fantastic baking moments where I went through my pantry and threw together all of my favorite ingredients (I omitted chocolate in case you were wondering), adjusting sweetness and textures as I went along, and just like magic the most delicious bread was baked. I love when I get a first try success!!

I love the flavors of Morning Glory muffins; it’s definitely one of my favorites and it’s fun to pack in all of those yummy nutrients when feeding my kids too. And while muffins are fun to bake, if I’m being honest, isn’t easier just to throw the entire batter in one pan and let it bake altogether? Yes, yes it is. That’s why breakfast breads are my new favorite thing. Plus, I can adjust the thickness and cut myself an extra big slice.

So I packed in grated carrots, diced apples, raisins, walnuts, coconut, and some cinnamon for flavor. I joked the other evening over on my Instagram account that I had grand plans to make Carrot Cake Bread. Most of you were pretty excited about that, but I changed my mind. I wanted to pack in some more ingredients, which is where the idea of Morning Glory Bread was born. It’s Carrot Cake-ish, but even tastier.

My kids were absolutely crazy about this the other day. They enjoyed the bread for an after school snack, and then again in their lunchbox today. This makes a super yummy afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of coffee or tea! You can freeze and use for later use as well.

Enjoy! And look how easy this recipe is, click on the video below:

      Hi Carmen, the coconut flour is dry and will need an entire different recipe. I have never made it with just coconut flour, so I would suggest to use the almond flour.

      Hi Kim, I have not made this without eggs. But, I have cooked without eggs and I would recommend 1 tbsp ground flax seed combined with 3 tbsp of water (let sit for a a few minutes until absorbed and viscous). You would need to do this per egg in the recipe. I hope that helps, and let me know if you try it this way and how it turns out!

    Me and my kids love these! If you want to spice things up ( literally), do as I did and add cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg. Those three additions make it taste like an apple pie/carrot cake hybrid.
    I love how hearty they are, they feel packed with things I feel good about. Next time I think I’ll even skip the coconut sugar and just use the maple syrup, since they were sweet enough I wouldn’t miss it. A sprinkle of sun seeds on top adds a bit of texture, making for a fantastic morning muffin, mid day snack, tea/coffee nibble, or midnight treat.
    Thank you for the recipe, I will be using it again and again!!

      Oh no!! The almond flour is really necessary because it provides the moist texture. So the GF flour unfortunately will dry out the bread.

    I love the basic recipe of this bread. I wanted less carbs and calories but more fiber. Instead of coconut sugar I use Truvia sugar. I also added a half cup of flaxseed meal. I increase the coconut oil to three fourths of a cup. I used sugar-free blueberry syrup instead of the maple surup.
