If you're a fan of nutty, slightly sweet bread with a moist, tender crumb, this Almond Bread recipe is perfect for you. It's a delightful alternative to traditional bread, and it’s gluten-free too! Ideal for breakfast, a snack, or even a light lunch, this almond bread is both nutritious and satisfying. Here’s how you can make it:
Ingredients
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
1/4 cup water (or as needed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), honey (or maple syrup, if using), and vanilla extract (if using).
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The batter will be thick. If it's too thick, gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a thick but pourable consistency.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the almond bread and enjoy! It’s great on its own or with a spread of almond butter, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of your favorite seeds or nuts.
Chef's Tips
Storage: Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze it for longer storage.
Add-ins: Feel free to customize your almond bread by adding in mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
