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.

Your bread recipe looks delicious. I can't have eggs so I was wondering how it would taste without the eggs. I was thinking of using ground flax seed and hot water as a replacement. Have you tried it without the eggs? Thanks for all your wonderful recipes. God bless always.

Hi Elana,
I have been trying some of recipes and really appreciate your sharing of them for free. I just made this bread, and it has a wonderful taste but mine didn't rise. Any suggestions? I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks again for all the great recipes.

Another source for arrowroot is Wilderness Family Naturals. Not sure if price would be better than Bob’s Red Mill though (I put together a large order and we get a health discount).
I agree about Honeyville – I bought the 5 lb bag and it’s lasted me a long time!! Of course I bake with other flours as well, so it’s not my exclusive source.
This bread looks awesome !!

HI Elana,
Such a long time since I posted on your website…I hope you are very well!
I have been very busy with finishing up my research project, and I hope to present it soon in the US of A! Anyhow, in the meantime, a remarkable collection of EP posts waited in my inbox. You created such a wealth of recipes again, I cannot wait to get into the kitchen… I will contribute on the forum soon too, because I used your pie crust for a chocolate-pear pie that is loved around here. Maybe you or other readers would like to give it a go.
This nutty bread looks absolutely delicious, I will make that today or tomorrow and let you know how quick it was verschwunden :-)
Have a lovely day and thank you again for all your great work!

I’ve always found gluten free bread a little too dense for my liking, but this looks so delicious I might have to have to make it and have another try.
