Cinnamon Free Paleo Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy

Comfort food doesn't get much more satisfying than a thick-cut slice of meatloaf blanketed in a rich, savory gravy — and this version delivers all of that without a single grain or legume in sight. Almond flour and eggs bind the beef beautifully, while coconut aminos and smoked paprika build a deep, umami-forward flavor that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did. The tangy tomato-and-apple-cider-vinegar glaze caramelizes into something almost lacquered at the edges during the bake, adding a glossy, slightly sweet contrast to the savory loaf beneath it. The real showstopper, though, is the mushroom gravy — cremini mushrooms are browned hard until golden, then simmered with bone broth and thickened with arrowroot starch into a silky, spoonable sauce that clings to every slice. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of warming baking spices, there's no need to audit labels or swap anything out — the recipe just works as written. It's the kind of weeknight centerpiece that feels special enough for a Sunday table, especially finished with a scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley.
