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:

Substituting 1/4 to 1/2 cup pecan meal for the almond flour is tasty.

Great recipe! Since it is (apparently) impossible to find the Magic Line pan, and since I didn’t want a flat loaf, I made a few tweaks to create an extra large loaf.
All ingredients x 1.5 (to make 50% larger) except:
3/4 c. Flax meal
2 tsp baking soda
7 eggs
Bake at 325 for a little over an hour (1:15 in my convection) until cooked through. This yields a much larger loaf that fit nicely in my standard glass baking dish, and the lower oven temp allowed it to cook through.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much for what you are doing! I’m making my second loaf now and my family enjoyed the first one immensely. I finally was able to enjoy a poached egg on toast again. Your recipes are so easy to follow, and even substitute with. For instance I just finished baking up a ton of your “thin mints”, and was low on Almond Flour, so I just threw in what I had, about a cup, and then added a half a cup of raw Pecans to the food processor and continued as directed on the recipe. It was perfect. So since I love to experiment, I’m making my second loaf with walnuts instead of pecans. It’s rising and looking beautiful. I can’t wait to try it.

Read reviews of dense or no rise results and decided to try whisking egg whites and yolks separately as one would for a sponge cake. Confess to adding a pinch of cream of tartar to whites, shouldn’t upset the purists, it’s one of the ingredients in baking powder. Then added the wet ingredients to yolk mix before mixing into whites. Gently folded in mixed dry ingredients (I only had whole almond meal so the bread is dark, like whole wheat would look). It turned out perfect, rose to top of pan, slices beautifully , light and delicious. Thanks so much for this recipe, I love it.

Made this for the first time and after reading all the reviews about dense and not rising, decided to separate egg whites and yolks and whisk first the whites and then the yolks to increase volume, as one would for a sponge cake. Must confess to adding a pinch of cream of tartar to the whites, ( this is one of the ingredients in baking powder so shouldn’t upset the purists). I also only had almond meal ( trader joes) unblanched, and substituted fresh lime juice for the vinegar and used 1tbsp olive oil, didn’t have coconut oil. Once all three bowls were mixed thoroughly (1.whites, 2.yolks plus honey, oil and lime juice, and 3. dry ingredients whizzed tog. In processor,) gently fold all together, yolk mix into whites, then dry mix into egg mix . Put into oiled loaf pan and bake as directed……….it turned out just perfect and delicious……..looks like the picture only much darker because of the almond meal…..more like a whole wheat loaf would look…I am so pleased, the added step is worth the trouble, it rose to the top of the pan and very light and easy to slice.

Very tasty bread, but the original version also gave me the undercoked center, so I will try the Amended version next. I even bought the magic loaf pan recommended. I think I can still eat this bread if I toast the middle slices, although I kind of like the softer center! :)
Thanks, Elana!
Barbara Brant says
I tried this and I really need a smaller loaf pan to get sandwich size results. Waiting for my bread to cool then I’ll try a slice. Thanks for the recipe. I hope I like it as eating paleo can be expensive!
J says
I was hoping you can tell me why high fat is better than high carb health wise. I am trying to change my lifestyle eating habits and lose weight and would love to know your input in this.
Heather says
I tried the original recipe today, in the recommended pan and experienced the “tunnel” effect. It seems like it didn’t cook in the center. It has great taste and I will definitely try the amended recipe next.
Stalean says
I made you Paleo Bread today. It was YUMMY with my grass-fed Beef Vegetable Soup. I didn’t change one thing (except I only had a 8.5×4-inch glass loaf pan–my smallest). It turned out great. It did stick a little on the very center bottom. I think I may have been a little anxious to get it out of the pan, but your suggested pan would be a much better choice.
I have one question. In your amended recipe, you have only 1/2 teaspoon baking soda listed. Whereas, in the original recipe (with less almond flour) you have 1-1/2 teaspoons. Is this a typo?
Thanks for this wonderful recipe. I had to stop eating it after three slices or I would have gone over my calorie count for the day!
