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.

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!

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 :-)
