Almond Butter Bread
Valentina P
This super fluffy grain-free bread recipe tastes uncannily like wholemeal bread, thanks to the combination of nut butter and eggs. The end result is a light, squishy bread with a satisfying crunchy crust. Since this bread tends to burn at high heat temperatures, I recommend enjoying it un-toasted.
How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 1 cup smooth almond or cashew butter (Note 1)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 (8 in. x 4 in.) loaf pan(s)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease the loaf pan and line with optional parchment paper.
- Step 2: Crack the eggs open into a mixing bowl. Use an electric beater (or a whisk and some muscle) to whip the eggs until they are pale and frothy-looking. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 3: Pour the remaining ingredients into the bowl with the eggs and mix with the beaters, or by hand, until combined.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, cover the bread loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. It will be ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Cool the bread fully on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy (it's great on Hummus and Veggie Sandwiches). This bread burns easily, so we do not recommend using it in a toaster oven or broiler.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: We recommend using a nut butter that only contains nuts and optional salt (no added sugars or oils). Tahini or sunflower butter will also work for a nut-free alternative. Keep in mind that sunflower butter will turn the bread green (yes, green). The green color is a result of a natural chemical reaction with the baking soda, but it will still taste great.

Note 2: If using low-carb maple sweetener, taste it beforehand to make sure it does not have a bitter flavor. Stock age and brand can affect the overall flavor of these products.
