Almond Flour Bread
Description
I have a delicious new baking project for you: Almond Flour Bread. Lightly moist and springy, this tasty hybrid between a classic sandwich bread and a breakfast quick bread is high protein, low carb, and the kind of thing you’ll think about sneaking a bite of every second that it is on your counter.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, unsalted butter, or ghee
- 2 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar NOT sweet apple cider or apple juice
Directions
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the coconut oil in 15-second bursts, just until it melts. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x5-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs both sides, then lightly coat with spray again.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg white, honey, apple cider vinegar, and cooled coconut oil until smooth. And the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and, with a whisk or rubber spatula, stir until well combined. The batter will be thick and wet, like a muffin batter. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake until the top is toasty golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Place the pan on a cooling rack and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer from the pan to the rack (use the parchment overhang) and let cool completely. Slice and serve.
