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.

This sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try it! Has anyone added dried fruits to it, like prune, apricots and raisins? There was a breakfast bread I used to love before going grain free and I think this might just sound as good!

I have a food sensitivity to flax, but do eat organic eggs. Any ideas on what to substitute for flax in recipes?
Looks yummy. Thanks. I enjoy following Dr. Frank.

Is it possible to have a print button for recipes? I just printed about 20 pages of ads and remarks and no recipe printed. :(
Annette says
I am new to Paleo recipes,and have been hunting the web for them. I have been “copy and paste – ing” them in Microsoft Word documents, removing ads and making the photos smaller. You save LOTS of ink and paper!
Penny says
Shirley, if you don’t have Word try copying and pasting in Notepad.

Linda says
I have made the Nutty Bread, and it was delicious. However, I’ve had trouble with it being dry. What can I do to make it more moist?
Sheri says
Elana would it come out the same if you use part coconut flour and part almond flour , if so what ratio would be best ???? Thank you !
Carla says
Such a great recipe! It’s easy, it’s tasty and it has no gluten… what else could I ask for. I have been making this bread instead of buying the one at wholefoods, so much better! And it keeps well in the fridge, you can just precut it, freeze it and then put a loaf in the toaster every morning. THANKS for these blog, it has really delicious stuff (I love the muffins too).
Betsy says
I made this bread yesterday and it is great! I have tried baked goods with almond flour before without very good results. Elana, you must have really done your homework to get everything just right. It was very easy, and I made sure all my ingredients were fresh (I keep all nuts in the freezer.) Even my non-paleo husband liked it! Now that I have that success under my belt I am motivated to try more. Only request: it would be great to have the nutrition info for each recipe, so I could see how much fiber I’m getting, etc. I have been gluten free for many years, but, like you, feel like grain free is going to be the way to go.
