It’s really easy to whip up your own cinnamon fruit bread, so say goodbye to the store-bought version, which is full of preservatives and refined sugars!

Even better, this recipe has no grains, gluten, dairy or refined sugar.

Make this up for your next breakfast or brunch, grill and serve with your favorite nut butter or lemon coconut butter.

Serves 8 (one load)

½ cup unsweetened dried unsweetened peaches or apricots
½ cup unsweetened raisins
1/3 cup coconut oil melted
1/4 c chopped nuts (walnut, pecan, or pumpkin seeds)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder, aluminum-free
