Nutty Bread is a hearty, gluten-free-bread recipe packed full of nuts and seeds. It reminds me of one of my favorite breads that I used to eat often before going gluten-free in 1998, called muesli bread. Though this bread does not contain the high-glycemic dried fruit that a muesli bread would have in it.
We like to toast gluten-free Nutty Bread for breakfast, and serve it with my Homemade Goat Cheese and scrambled eggs. This gluten-free bread also works well along with a big salad at lunch. For a quick and easy dinner, it makes a great base for a sandwich stuffed with organic turkey, avocado, romaine, tomatoes, and mustard.

If you’re like us, you absolutely love the paleo diet, but may want to have an occasional slice of bread as not to feel deprived. That’s why I’m sharing some easy paleo bread recipes for you to enjoy!

This bread is fabulous! I’ve been on a months-long quest to find a recipe for a grain-free paleo-friendly bread that’s hearty and satisfying without landing like a brick in my stomach or containing a lot of carbs. Nothing but disappointment before I saw this recipe. This bread is the one! It hits all my taste preferences. And it’s quite low carb, which is not the case for the few commercially-available grain-free breads I’ve found. I used verywellfit.com to calculate the nutritional profile of nutty bread. Assuming 15 slices/loaf, each slice has 158 calories, 12.7 g fat, 5.9 g carbs, and 6.8 g protein.

Pam, thanks for letting me know this recipe is fabulous!
Susan says
Is there a way to make this SCD compliant? A sub for flaxmeal and arrowroot?
It looks delicious!
Elana says
Susan, I haven’t tried that. Here’s a link to my SCD Bread Recipes for you:

It says to stir sugar into the eggs in the Nutty bread recipe….but I don’t see any mention of HOW MUCH sugar in the ingredient list..I can’t try the recipe until I know how much
sweetener to use. I can guess but probably wouldn’t want to.
Elana says
Marley, no sugar in this recipe. Recipe says “stir vinegar into eggs” LMK if you have any other questions!

Hi Elana,
I LOVE this bread, but wondered about nutrition information. I’m wanting to figure out the net carbs.
Thanks so much!

I make this bread regularly, it is delicious. Last time I did not have hazelnuts and I added some onion flakes and it was great. I slice it once cooled and put in a zip lock bag and store in freezer. Although in the fridge would be fine as it doesn’t last long at all. I am in Australia and use a fan forced oven, so I bake it at 140 – 150 Celsius.
Elana says
Ruki, that sounds delicious!
Joyce A Donnell says
Would this bread work in a glass pan. I stay away from aluminum.
Elana says
Joyce, I haven’t tried that, feel free to experiment :-)
