The Dreamiest Paleo Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Bread made with all gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients. The ultimate cinnamon spiced fall bread recipe made with all healthier ingredients and super easy to make.
Welcome to the best flipping pumpkin bread recipe you will ever eat.
I am literally giddy over how this turned out. You guys know how much I love all things cinnamon and cinnamon roll. Hello Gluten-free “Cinnabon” Cinnamon Roll Cake, The Best Paleo Cinnamon Roll Muffins + Vegan Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread (gluten-free + nut-free).
And now we have a new addition to the family. This recipe is the best way to combine all things pumpkin spice and cinnamon roll and swirls and all of the things into one loaf.
I love that it isn’t overly sweet either so it is a great breakfast bread too. Or you can enjoy for snack and/or dessert. OMG – or we can turn this into french toast or something after a few days. I so need to try that soon for sure.
What ingredients you’ll need to make this paleo pumpkin cinnamon roll bread:
- Eggs – I haven’t tested flax eggs yet but they may work!
- Maple syrup or honey – either works in this recipe.
- Pumpkin puree – I look for canned organic from the store. Some sneak in extra sugars and it is such a waste.
- Almond flour – I haven’t tested another flour here but this blog post on almond flour may be helpful.
- Coconut flour – same here. I haven’t tested another flour here.
- Cinnamon + pumpkin spice
- Coconut sugar – the perfect sugar for the cinnamon swirl!
How to make the best healthy pumpkin cinnamon swirl bread:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bread dish with oil/line with parchment paper
- Whisk together eggs, maple syrup, pumpkin until smooth
- Mix in flours, baking powder, cinnamon and pumpkin spice until smooth
- Mix the cinnamon swirl ingredients in small bowl
- Add 1/2 batter to bread dish then sprinkle 2/3 cinnamon swirl mixture on top then other half of batter and rest of cinnamon swirl
- Bake in oven for 45-50 minutes or until edges are golden
- I drizzled melted coconut butter on mine

This sounds fabulous, and I can’t wait to try it! Can you please clarify what size bread pan you used? Also, did you drizzle melted coconut butter over the entire loaf upon removing it from the oven? I wasn’t sure if the intended purpose was to cause the swirl mixture to adhere to the bread better, or to enhance the flavor of each slice (in lieu of buttering the bread slices before eating them).
Hayley
This turned out amazing! And so easy to make 👍😁
Rachel
yaayyy!!
Melissa
Just made these and YUM!!! SO easy to whip together and only needed 2 bowls. I don’t like pumpkin … and I think this bread is delicious. For me its more spice/cinnamon-y than strong pumpkin flavors and I love that. Ate a slice while it was still hot from the oven and it was so good – the cinnamon top and middle make it amazing. Would recommend! Thanks for the recipe!
Rachel
awwww yay!! 🙂
Michelle
Hello, how did you make what looks like a yummy frosting on the top of the bread?
Rachel
its melted coconut butter!
Emma Kallenbach
I can’t even describe how yummy this is!! My roommate and I are obsessed, we just made it for the third time! I had to order her cookbook because every recipe I make of hers is so good 🙂
Rachel
awww yay thank you!!
Lauren
I love all of your recipes so of course I gave this one a try.I am not sure if I did something wrong but I followed the recipe to a tee and the cinnamon swirl came out very thick. It was not the consistency that you can “sprinkle on” so it did not fully cover both layers. I had to use a spatula to spread it out because it was the consistency of the batter. Do you have any suggestions?!
Rachel
probably was just the consistency of your honey or whatever you used. you could have always made more to add 😉
Emily
I’m not paleo or GF, but this came out great with a few subs based on what i had on hand: used 1/4 cup applesauce for 1/4 cup pumpkin (I ran out of pumpkin), used whole wheat flour instead of coconut flour, and turbinado sugar instead of coconut sugar. So yummy! Baked ~50 mins.
Domonique
This is amazing! I think it could have cooked 3-5 mins longer in my oven, BUT the flavor is the perfect spice/cinnamon/pumpkin flavor and it is super easy to make. If you are looking for a paleo loaf to make for the season, MAKE IT!
Rachel
yay!!
Lynn
I followed the recipe exactly and the batter was very thick, I couldn’t get the middle cooked. I had to cut it and then bake each piece. Any suggestions? Thanks
Rachel
hhhmmm sounds like something was off in the ratios you used! i haven’t heard this before.
Maribel
when you print the recipe it is other recipe
Emily Freilich
Do you think this could be made into muffins? And bake 18-20ish minutes?
Rachel
for sure!!!
Beth
Hi, Emily! Did you make muffins? We made this and omg it was the best! I’m curious how the muffins turned out? Was 18-20 mins correct?
Olivia
My fiance and I LOVE your recipes. This one is SO GOOD and perfect for fall. We are on day 3 of it and I think it gets better with age. Still delicious. Thank you!
Niki
So good!!! This is the perfect, healthy fall treat. Reminds me of a healthier pumpkin version of the Starbucks cinnamon coffee cake but 100x better.
Megan
I’m going to be bold and say this is my fave recipe of yours I’ve made yet. It came out perfect. It’s moist. (sorry guys/girls, that word doesn’t bother me!) It’s delicious. I have to hide it from myself so I don’t eat the whole thing. A real snack. 😉
Rachel
omg thank you so much!!!!!
Meaghan Johnson
I’ve tried a few different pumpkin bread recipes this Fall and this was by far my favorite! The cinnamon swirl really makes this so decadent. Fresh out of the oven with some ice cream, SO good!
Rachel

Mags
We love, love, love your recipes! This one is going to be my early morning activity tomorrow- I can’t wait!
I’m wondering what will happen if I don’t use coconut sugar in the swirl- has anyone out there left it out? Have you ever tried without?
Thanks for all of your incredible goodies! We can’t get enough!
xo
Rachel
thank you! it won’t be as sweet and consistency may be a bit different!
Mags
Thank you! I think I’m ok with it not being so sweet…
I’ll decide as I’m baking… and I’ll let you know! And, since I’ve never made this, I won’t notice the consistency being different… ha haaaa.
About to start!
Yay!
Ali
So fun to make! But… did I goof? The cinnamon swirl mixture was thick, but, yummy looking – more “dripable” than a “sprinkle” consistency- is that ok?
Rachel
yes! x
Ali
Omg – this was so delicious!
Wow.
Yum!
What should I make next?
Claire
THIS is unbelievably delicious- wow!
Rachel
thank you!!
