Cinnamon Apple Crumble Banana Bread {df, gf}
Updated: Mar 14, 2021
I'll just start out by saying: everything about this bread screams fall! I personally love the combination of banana and apple, and the cinnamon adds such a nice flavor. This is my second year making this bread, and this year I decided to make it gluten free. I love it both ways, but I love how moist the bread came out using almond flour. This bread features many nutritious swaps, such as pure maple syrup, almond butter, flaxseed meal, coconut sugar, and more. Anyway, I brought this bread on my annual camping trip in bread and muffin form, and it was a hit! The crumble topping really makes it, especially for all the texture people like me.
