Ingredients You’ll Need
To make this almond flour bread, you will need:
- 2 cups of almond flour
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup of melted butter (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan salt
- 1/4 cup of organic chia seeds
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
Mixing the Ingredients
First, let’s mix all our dry ingredients together. In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and chia seeds until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and melted butter. Make sure to break up the egg yolks and whisk until everything is well blended.
Combining the Wet and Dry Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, all at once. Use a spatula to gradually bring in the dry ingredients until they are just blended. Be sure to get all the ingredients off the spatula and mix until everything is well combined.
Baking the Bread
Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the almond flour bread mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly. Tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles. Place the pan in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean. Remember, no peeking!
Cooling and Slicing
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This step is important to prevent the bread from sweating in the pan. After 10 minutes, lift the bread out of the pan and let it cool completely on a cooling rack. The aroma of freshly baked almond bread will fill your kitchen.
Once the bread is completely cool, you can slice it using a knife with serrated edges for a smooth cut. The inside of the bread will have a lovely texture and nutty flavor. It tastes fantastic on its own, or you can enjoy it with a spread of butter, almond butter, or even cream cheese and jams.
Final Thoughts
Making your own gluten-free almond flour bread is not only easy but also rewarding. The result is a delicious and healthy loaf that can be enjoyed by anyone, whether or not they follow a gluten-free diet. So why not give this recipe a try? With just a few simple ingredients and a bread machine, you can create a homemade bread that is sure to impress. Happy baking!
