The Well Plated Almond joy coconut is now available! The BEST quick Almond Flour Bread. Low carb, Paleo, keto and gluten free, this easy bread comes together quickly.
Moist and fluffy, it’s great toasted for sandwiches or simply sliced for breakfast. 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. Recently, for health reasons, one of my neighbors switched to a gluten free diet and mentioned that the thing she missed eating most was bread. I imagined how sad I would be to bid bread good-bye. I know that you can purchase gluten free bread, but it’s often pricey or—there is no delicate way to put this—tastes terrible.
Recipes for homemade gluten free bread I’d found had intimidatingly long ingredient lists and required multiple different specialty flours. Not one to let a bread puzzle go unresolved, I set out to see if I could make a quick and easy gluten free bread with a reasonable ingredient list. This quick bread is delicious toasted for breakfast or as sandwich bread! It’s the first and most important ingredient in this recipe.
Almond flour is just one simple ingredient—ground almonds—meaning it is healthy in the same wonderful ways that almonds are. Healthy fats, omega-3s, and amino acids abound. Don’t want to buy almond flour? You can actually make it yourself from whole almonds. I’ve included directions in the recipe notes for you. Even though I do eat gluten and wheat flour, I adore baking with almond flour. I love it for its health benefits, subtly nutty flavor, and the buttery texture it lends to baked goods.
Almond flour cannot be substituted for bread flour or any other kind of flour. The fat content, weight, amount of protein, and carbs makes every kind of flour unique, especially almond flour. This Almond Flour Bread is quick a tasty. Low carb, gluten free, and Paleo! Even though I do eat gluten, this Almond Flour Bread is absolutely a recipe that I will keep in my repertoire and make regularly. Warmed up for breakfast with a smear of almond butter, a topping that is just as appropriate and scrumptious here as it sounds. Toasted in the oven and topped with avocado and an egg for a fast weeknight dinner.
Because Almond Flour Bread is high in protein and healthy fats, each slice is filling and sustaining. This Almond Flour Bread is also a true quick bread. Quick breads are made without yeast and stirred together in a bowl. Banana bread, zucchini bread, and pumpkin bread are classic examples. Quick breads are my absolute favorite kind to make because they are so simple and yet so intrinsically satisfying. No proofing of yeast or call for a bread machine here. You just need a bowl, a whisk, and a loaf pan.
This Almond Flour Bread is friendly to a number of diets, which is one—though I would argue not the most—compelling reason to make it. This gluten free bread is tender and delicious! The main, true reason I make this Almond Flour Bread though? I also loved being able to share the loaf with my neighbor so that she could enjoy bread again. This bread can last 3 days at room temperature or be frozen for up to 3 months. I like to freeze individual slices, then thaw them one at a time as needed.
