Almond Flour Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds (optional, for texture and structure)

• 1/4 cup baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 4 large eggs

• 1/4 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for a slight sweetness)

• 1/4 cup water or unsweetened almond milk

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (helps with rising)

• Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder or herbs for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with oil.

2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground flaxseeds (if using), baking powder, and salt. If you are adding any optional flavorings like garlic powder or herbs, mix them in as well.

3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil (or melted coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), and apple cider vinegar. Add the water or almond milk, and stir until smooth.

4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined. You should have a thick batter.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan: Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45–60 minutes. Almond flour bread tends to bake slowly, so don’t worry if it takes a bit longer. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife in the center—it should come out clean when the bread is done.

7. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Almond flour bread can be a little crumbly, so let it fully cool before slicing.

Notes:

• You can also add 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds or other seeds for texture if you'd like.

• If you want a lighter bread, you can try adding a small amount of psyllium husk (about 1 tablespoon) to help with structure.

This recipe should give you a delicious, dense bread that’s perfect for sandwiches or as a side to your meals!
