As a child, whenever I thought of cinnamon and raisins, I would think about the cinnamon raisin bagels that my mother used to buy. Not very often, though; the plain ones were “healthier.” But the cinnamon raisin ones were soo much better.
However, I was never a bagel girl. (Even though I love these!). I prefer cakey, bready, chewy, fluffy things. This cinnamon raisin mini loaf fits that bill. I only made one mini loaf because sometimes I don’t want a big ol’ honkin’ loaf of something; I just want a mini slice of deliciousness that’s small enough to hide in my room.
If you’re making this recipe for company (or more than about four people), I highly recommend doubling it and making two mini loaves.
This nut and coconut free bread has a decidedly bread-y texture, but it’s definitely sweeter seeing as it’s studded with raisins. I put lots of cinnamon; because you can never have enough cinnamon.

Think this would work with flax or gelatin eggs? I,d love to give it a try!
Probably not unfortunately because there are so many eggs.
Ah well, I’ll have to save it for “someday”!
Just made this and it’s delicious! One problem: the raisins all sank to the bottom. Any tips on how to avoid that?
Did you use Otto’s brand cassava? Other brands seem to be less finely ground.
Coat the raisins with a little bit of cassava flour (aka Tapioca flour or arrowroot flour), approx 1 tbsp before u add the raisins to the batter. It will stop them from sinking to the bottom. Same applies if you’re adding blueberries to muffins.
I would love to try this recipe. What are the dimensions of the mini loaf pan?
Mine was about 3″x5-1/2″x2″.
Looks like I need to find myself a mini loaf pan! Thanks so much for sharing your delicious recipes with us at Savoring Saturdays!
If we don’t have any Cassava Flour, what could we use in place of it?
Unfortunately I’m not sure; cassava flour is fairly unique.
i agree bread>bagels! this reminds me of the cinnamon raisin swirl bread from pepperidge farm, except way healthier and better! So far i’ve made 2 recipes with cassava flour and i need to tackle a bread recipe soon! Pinned 🙂
