This Paleo Cranberry Almond Bread recipe is packed with nuts and dried fruit and is my own healthy gluten-free version of muesli bread.
Studded with dried apricots and cranberries, as well as crunchy bites of almonds, and sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds, this easy gluten-free bread recipe is a fabulous every day bread, but also great for special occasions. Many fans tell me that they serve this as an Easter bread or as a healthy Christmas fruitcake. Made with low-carb almond butter, this is a flourless bread recipe that can be thrown together in just a few minutes!
To store this bread, wrap in a paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
We slice this Cranberry Almond Bread and enjoy it as a jazzed up base for Turkey Club Sandwiches. We also love it toasted and dipped in olive oil, with a side of eggs, for a delicious paleo breakfast. Personally, I like Cranberry Almond Bread toasted and smothered in my homemade goat cheese.
I developed this Paleo Cranberry Almond Bread for the Almond Board of California to promote healthy and delicious eating. I'm working with the Almond Board because I love almonds. They are a superfood and of course one of my favorite things to nibble on. In fact, I like almonds so much that I wrote an entire book about them, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook
which uses almonds in all of its recipes!
Here are some of my other paleo bread recipes that use almonds for you:

Ok I don’t know what happened so I’m up for a second try but my bread turned out more like a brick than bread. Think thick hard “energy bar.” Bleh. The only thing is that I needed to mix the almond butter, olive oil, and egg mixture far more so that it’s almost like when creaming eggs and sugar. Flavor was good. Texture was horrible. Suggestions to help the rise?
Andrea, that’s what happens when you use coconut flour instead of arrowroot in this recipe :-)
I just made this bread today and it came out amazing!!! Like I couldn’t believe I just used peanut butter and a bunch of ingredients without any flour at all ( like almond or coconut flour)…I did not use arrowroot powder but still it came out so fine! Thanks so much for this recipe, I am trying to cut wheat out of my diet and sometimes I miss having eggs and avocado on toast, so this recipe would do nicely ;) Do you know the calories by any chance? I measured my ingredients out and tried to estimate the calories roughly.
Arosha, I’m so happy to hear this recipe is amazing. For more on nutrition info please go here:

Everything is very tasty. But it has become very expensive to bake with nut flour. Prices have skyrocketed. I recently bought raw almonds and am going to make my own.
Karen, thanks for your comment and I totally agree. Unfortunately I haven’t had any success using homemade almond flour in my recipes.
Eating Paleo is expensive! When I look at the ingredients at all these grain free recipes, I cringe at the cost!
Carri, I totally agree and have the same cringing experience.
I am going to attempt to make this year’s Mardi Gras King Cake with an alternative flour like almond flour or coconut flour. Has anyone tried to make a King Cake like this? It’s a yeast cake, and requires two risings.
Jayne, that sounds amazing! I hope you keep us posted on the King Cake :-)
