This delicious Clean Eating Grain Free Irish Spice Bread makes an awesome dessert!

A few years back, my mom took Mini Chef and me to Ireland with her for three weeks. Some of you may remember my blog posts from then. I filled them with as many details of our trip as I could fit into a blog post.

Now that my mom has passed, I find myself thinking about that trip a lot. It was such a wonderful time. But out of everything we did in those three weeks and all the amazing places we saw, what I remember most is sitting around the kitchen table at the apartment we rented in Cobh (pronounced, “cove”). I made dinner in that little kitchen every night, and then called my mom and Mini Chef in to eat. It was such a cozy atmosphere and we laughed so much about the silliest things. It was an easy going time that I will never forget as long as I live.

While I was on that trip, I published several Irish-inspired recipes, and Clean Eating Irish Spice Bread was one of those recipes.

I loved the spice combination in that bread so much. It really reminded me of the holiday season in Germany! (Or probably many places in Europe). The food there seems to have a whole different level of flavor.

But many of you that follow my blog here are Paleo, grain free and/or dairy free for many reasons. So today I’m sharing a recipe for a grain free version of this delicious Clean Eating Grain Free Irish Spice Bread. Seriously, I think I love this stuff way more than zucchini bread. So delicious! In fact, it would make a great gift!

At the very least, it’ll make an excellent dessert.
