This easy Paleo Bread recipe tastes great and is made with just 7 nutrient dense ingredients. That’s a good thing because “gluten-free” isn’t necessarily healthy, especially when it comes to bread. That’s why I created a gluten-free paleo bread recipe that’s made of high-protein ingredients that won’t leave you dragging. I’m loving every slice that comes from this new paleo diet friendly bread recipe.
Paleo Bread Recipe
This bread is just a bit lighter and fluffier than my other breads. It has a nice nutty flavor from the flax meal which reminds me a little bit of a whole wheat bread. And, it has a lovely little bit of a sweet buttery taste from the almond flour, which adds an incredibly rich quality to baked goods.
Substitutions for Paleo Bread
I’ve been working on this Paleo Bread recipe for several months and have tested it a couple of dozen times. In fact, every time I create a recipe I test each and every ingredient addition or subtraction. That’s why I think it’s kinda funny when people leave comments below recipes (or on Instagram) asking how such and such ingredient substitution will turn out.
Experimenting with Paleo Bread
I wish we didn’t have to test every adjustment to a recipe to figure out if it works. It would save us all so much time and money! If I only had a crystal ball that would give me the answer to all of your substitution questions, I would be so happy. Unfortunately, I don’t. So be adventurous. If you have an idea, test it. Then come back here and let us all know if it works.

Low-Carb Bread
I’ve updated this Paleo Bread recipe to reflect the way we now make it. If you would like to make the original recipe, just add one tablespoon coconut oil and one tablespoon honey. The bread is fantastic either way!

More Easy Paleo Recipes
This gluten-free bread recipe is based on my Bread 2.0. However, this bread does not contain arrowroot so it is a better low-carb bread recipe. Paleo Bread has a fabulous nutrition profile that has more of the healthy protein and fat that we all need! Here are some of my other healthy paleo recipes:

Ok so got a question. Would almond butter work instead of almond flour? Really hard to find an almond flour here in Europe that is fine in texture.
Laurie says
Great recipe. I made the following swaps:
I packet of stevia instead of honey
Almond oil instead of coconut oil
Deleted vinegar
Added dash of cinnamon and vanilla
Came out moist and tasty!

Baked this bread yesterday and it exceeded my expectations! I’ve baked other GF/low-carb breads and was always dissatisfied with the texture. The combo of almond flour, coconut flour, and flax works really well here. The Paleo bread’s flavor reminds me of a popover, and it holds up well in sandwiches. It did take a long time to bake, but that might just be my oven. The bread looks and tastes great! Thank you, Elena!

I made this tonight for my son’s lunch tomorrow… I didn’t want to use just almonds, so I used 1 cup almond meal, 1/2 cup ground pepitas and 1/2 cup ground sunflower seeds. I also used olive oil, as I didn’t have enough coconut oil left. The bread worked wonderfully! I will use coconut oil next time though, as I do prefer it.
The real test will come from giving it to my daughter, she is more gluten sensitive, but also more resistant to GF breads… lol
Thank you so much for all your hard work, my family surely do appreciate it and the sharing of your recipes here… it has been a real life saver for us on this new journey of GF life.
With much gratitude,
Emma :)

It is interesting in gluten free baking how seemingly minute changes can have a big effect on the taste, texture, consistency and rise of the finished product. I thought it was just me that had such an enhanced palate (since I have Fibromyalgia, CFS, etc) my senses and nerves are forever enhanced. In my vanilla oat banana quick bread recipe I have found that variations in the type of pan etc will change the entire finished product. I have tried it in a large loaf pan, mini loaves and muffins. This recipe which I created works best as mini loaves. Just last week I made it and I used my nutri bullet instead of my food processor to ground the oat, corn meal and corn starch flour blend I created and it made for a very fine powder. This change in the texture of of the flour gave the bread a different texture. It was a slight change that only I would have noticed but I was going crazy trying to pinpoint what made the difference. I pinpointed that in order to get the rise and texture I prefer, I need to use mini loaf pans and pulse my blend in the food processor. I feel like these variations are part of all baking but pronounced in gf baking for sure.

I wanted to say thank you for the recipe. I made it today with my Vitamix. I used whole raw almonds and whole flax seed that I ground up in the Vitamix in batches rather than almond flour and flaxseed meal. I substituted two single serving packages of stevia for the honey and mixed everything in the Vitamix. My bread turned out great and tastes wonderful. The almond skins and stevia changed the color a little from the picture on the web site but my loaf still looks good (lighter crust and darker interior). (I used 1.5 cups of whole almonds, 2 tablespoons coconut flour, ¼ cup of whole flaxseeds, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1.5 teaspoons baking soda, 5 large eggs, ¼ cup coconut oil, 2 packets of stevia, and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in the Magic Loaf Pan.) Thanks again.

i Have made the Paleo Bread now for the 3rd time. I am having a problem. My center never gets done! What do I need to do. I have made it the last time by the new changes. I love this breads taste Can you help me.I cook it longer than 30 min. Help…
Amanda says
I would first have to ask what type of pan you had? Some types of dishes do not cook evenly and thoroughly. However, I am not an expert but it could be a good place to start. The next thing I would suggest is that you are pulsing all the ingredients so they are evenly mixed together.

Hello Elana,
Made this bread the other night and it didn’t turn out good at all. It taste eggy and didn’t taste appealing one bit. The taste was very similar to when you make french toast. It almost felt like i was eating french toast minus the syrup! Any suggestions on why this may have happened?
Thanks and as always your recipes are an inspiration to all of us!
Gwen G says
OMG! Thanks for this awesome bread recipe. Is very similar to cornbread and I am a southern gal who is wheat gluten and corn gluten intolerant, having been tested at age 7 (50+) years ago allergic to both. I am going to try lowering the honey to a teaspoon and adding cheddar cheese and jalapeños to make faux jalapeño cornbread. Will let you know how it turns out. I am so thrilled to have found your website. Your information is invaluable. Bless you for sharing with the rest of us who struggle with this gluten free handicap!

Any suggestions for how to make the paleo bread if you are allergic to almonds?
