Recipe Description
Almond Bread is a moist, flavorful loaf made with almond flour, giving it a rich nutty flavor and a slightly denser texture compared to traditional bread. This bread is a perfect option for those looking for a gluten-free or low-carb alternative. It’s great as a breakfast bread, snack, or even for making sandwiches!
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or oil, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bread.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- The batter should be thick and slightly sticky. If you like, fold in slivered almonds for extra crunch and flavor.
Step 5: Bake the Bread
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Slice
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy!
