This bread is best served warm or toasted. Try it spread with a little nut butter.
Ingredients
- 190 g almond meal (ground almonds)
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 40 g ground flax seed
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 5 eggs
- 30 g coconut oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp live (raw) apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a loaf tin with parchment or grease it with coconut oil. Put the ground almonds, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, salt and baking powder in a food processor and pulse until everything is combined. Then add the rest of the ingredients and pulse again to form a smooth dough. Bake it for about 40 minutes or until it’s golden and cooked through (if you pierce it with a skewer it should come out clean). Leave it to cool, then turn it out. Store it in a zip-lock bag in the fridge or in the freezer, sliced.
