Paleo Breakfast Bread is lightly sweetened and has the perfect texture. It’s amazing topped with berries and my Paleo Coconut Whipped Cream recipe, or served alongside scrambled eggs. Many of my readers have requested breakfast recipes and easy bread recipes (or quick breads), that are grain-free and paleo, and the simplicity of this bread makes it one of my all time favorites!

Elana,
Way to go! I loved the news segment! I look forward trying these. These are dessert to me! :)
I love all the breads and desserts as well!
Thanks for all your fabulous recipes!
Hillary Jones says
Thank you! I am LOVING all the paleo recipes you’ve been posting & am so excited you have a separate paleo section. I have been looking for a recipe to make like this and then it appeared in my inbox this AM! Thanks for all you do & sharing all these! :)
Jess says
I agree…the paleo section is a great addition. Please don’t stop all your hard work elana! I feel better eating your recipes.
Lori S. says
Yes, More Paleo recipes! I experimented in the kitchen and made up my own breakfast/nutrition bar the other day with almond butter, sliced almonds, dried shredded coconut, almond flour, and a little honey. Delicious!!! I cut it in small squares before baking so I can nibble whenever I’m needing a boost of energy. Travels well in the car with me, too.
Kristin W. says
Lori, if Elana does not mind I would love to know your exact recipe. Breakfast ideas are still a huge struggle which is why this bread is on my list to make for breakfast next week. Thanks Elana
Lori S. says
Hi Kristin W., why don’t you email me and I’ll send it to you privately. My email is lschadeck@comcast.net
Thanks!
Lori
paola says
I don’t understand. The recipe for this bread is at the top. Are you saying it is not the exact recipe? Why does it have to be sent privately?
bob says
Just the recipe for Lori’s breakfast/nutrition bar is being emailed privately. Elana’s breakfast bread recipe is the one at the top of the page = ).
donna says
i would love also to see more breakfast recipes but in general more recipes that are EGGLESS…very hard to find…i can’t use now so many of the recipes in your book because i cannot eat eggs…
thanks!
Darla says
Yes!! Eggless recipes would help so much! Thanks!
Sandy says
Agree with the above two, need recipes without eggs, but I can find those on vegan websites and blogs.
Also, commenting on Paleo diet, I’m not sure just what it is, except that it’s a diet of what some people think that our ancient ancestors ate ten thousand or more years ago. But how could anyone know, for sure, what people ate that long ago? It seems to me that it has to be mostly guesses and assumptions, other than what is recorded in the Bible, and they did eat grains, but I’ve read that they were not the same types of grains that we have today.
How can we know what was available to our ancient ancestors, especially plant foods, as they might have had plants that no longer exist, and we might have plants that they did not have.
All recipes on Elana’s Web site, of course, are not Paleo. Paleo people did not have chocolate chips and processed cocoa and blanched almond flour and agave syrup and date sugar and other processed sweeteners, and on and on, the list is long….. and they did not have the creamy roasted almond butter used in this Paleo recipe, so this cannot be a true Paleo recipe, if I am understanding it right. I would think that they did not use processed foods of any kind due to lack of ways to do this like we have today, so anything we use that has been processed in any modern way cannot be true Paleo.
And how would anyone know whether or not they used eggs of any kind. And they didn’t throw mixtures into an oven and bake them, either.
I’m thinking that the Paleo diet is the diet of pre-Adamic ancestors? How healthy were they? How long was their lifespan? If one believes what the Bible says, from what I have read, people from the time of Adam (some say about 6,000 years ago) to the flood did not eat meat and lived hundreds of years. It was only after starting to eat meat that their life spans were shortened.
There are so many types of diets to follow, and the authors of all these various diet and health books think theirs is the healthiest….. but my opinion is that no one really knows what the healthiest diet is, and that no one could possibly follow a true caveman diet due to too many unknowns…. and I can’t figure out why one would even want to.
Would love to hear from anyone on this…. what you think is the best diet and why, but this comment section is not the proper place. Does anyone know of a forum that discusses all of the various diets and the pros and cons of each? If not, I’m thinking of starting one. I think it would make for some lively and informative discussions.

I think people are basically going back to caveman time with the Paleo diet. I haven’t gone into all the research but apparently there is some to consider. I have read that grains have changed from ancient times but not that much, and all other food has changed as well, so I’m not sure what to make of it.
I suppose Paleo people could have made almond butter by pounding out nuts and such but I think that’s taking things a bit far. I mean would you go out and live in a cave and hunt for wild animals for food? Probably not. I think Paleo/Primal/etc. are all just ideas of what ancient diet would have been…
I’m not sure when meat was introduced in the Bible but I wouldn’t attribute sudden decrease in lifespan to just that. I think people began declining in health and lifespan much sooner. After all God had said humans could now eat meat and why would he do that if it was bad for you? Meat (properly raised) is not bad for you.
I agree about the ‘best’ diet idea. I don’t think there is one. GAPS (with all its variations) is good if you have allergies or serious health conditions or just want to improve your digestion. WAPF/NT style diet is good as well (traditional foods). I have read that a vegan diet is good for someone with a tumor/cancer/etc. as it’s very cleansing but should not be followed for a long period of time as it’s not very nourishing. I honestly think ‘simple’ is the idea to follow: simple, traditional foods, properly raised and simply prepared. Definitely no to minimal processed foods and no foods invented in the last 100 years or so (Miracle Whip, Cool Whip, Twinkies, etc.)..
Cynthia says
I can attest from my own experience as a registered nurse (my husband is a clinical pharmacist) that the current adaptation of the ‘Paleo’ diet is by far the healthiest, at least for us. My husband no longer struggles with his weight and I discovered a few months ago that the many symptoms I suffered for decades were due to candida over-growth, a condition over-looked by every doctor I ever saw for various sinusitus conditions, fibromyalgia, migraine, IBS, and to top it off, leaky gut. I am a candida celiac; a celiac of the most compromised. I cannot even have almond flour without difficulty, and nuts scratch already torn up intestines. I am on a program to fight candida now, the most comprehensive in my opinion (from Alaska), and a recipe like this one allows me to have ‘my bread and eat it, too’. I cannot tolerate grains of any kind, plus they all feed candida. With all those grains out there, sugars, processed foods, and the stress to get them, we are all highly prone to candida over-growth. Mine came from antibiotic use, high stress, and a diet high in grains. I hope to see more recipes like this. With the anti-candida program I follow, I can use honey in recipes. Thank You for contributing to true health!
CC says
Cynthia,
Could you tell me the name of the diet you follow? I’m on a similar one and would love to know which you use that allows honey. I miss it so much! Thanks!
Tammy says
I would be very interested to know what type of candida diet you follow. I’m currently following http://www.thecandidadiet.com. I’m not supposed to have honey though. Sure makes things difficult!
josie chacon says
Cynthia, would you share with us the program you are in from Alaska. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Barbara Trahon says
It actually is possible for us to know what sort of diet our remote ancestors ingested, because the paleontologists, (anthropologists who study ancient sites etc) painstakingly collect human droppings, which are then analyzed for components which tell us what they ate. Not a job I would like, but nonetheless useful.
Ruthie says
Hi Sandy,
I think there are so many diets because there is no one diet that is right for everyone. Human bodies are physiologically all a little different so we all respond differently to different diets. I think the key is 1) eating whole unprocessed natural foods and minimize added sugar not in its natural state to 6 teaspoons a day or less (ie: sugar removed from fruit and concentrated is still handled by your body as sugar). 2) If it makes you feel like crap don’t eat it anymore. I think diet plans are a nice guide but by no means an authority on what your body needs. You are. I discovered by trial an error that a modified paleo type diet works for me as i am intolerant of most grains except wite rice. I am not able to do an expremely low carb diet and feels best when i get my carbs from fruit and quinoa or rice. And my best weight loss/ maintainence tool is 2 days/week eating half my normal calories. Not sure what this diet would be called but it works for me:) Just experiment until you find what works for you. Hope this helps!
Samantha says
Yes! I agree!! More egg free options
Shay says
I do love your baked goods. Most grain free recipes are not well thought out, so I come here first bc I know you will have tested to get the best texture.
I definitely struggle with having healthy snacks at the ready. Your ideas would be great.
Stacey LoSacco says
I have a lot of food sensitivities and hypoglycemia and my body doesn’t handle carbs well so I am always challenged to find something healthy, nutritious and satisfying for breakfast, other than eggs. Any ideas for breakfast options and smoothies not using fruit, would be much appreciated!
bob says
I second this! (I can’t have sugar or fruit, in addition to being almost grain free, and need to rotate eggs.) Sometimes I eat crumble or granola for breakfast, but I usually get stuck for ideas (especially ones not TOO high in fat – even good ones)!
Thank you for all the work you put into this site Elana, which helps us readers out on a day-to-day basis = )
Ellen says
Love your recipes! How about a paleo blueberry muffin recipe? Thanks!!
carla says
She has a great one!!! I make them all the time. They are her Banana Blueberry Muffins in her Gluten free Almond Flour cookbook. I make up a batch and keep them in the freezer. They have no sugar, and are simply sweetened with the bananas.
Tracy W says
I would love to see more breakfast recipes and kid-friendly lunch ideas for school lunches
Jeana says
Ditto. Something packable that they will want to eat…picky eaters in the house! Something high in protein and low sugar content.
Amy Fritschle says
We are doing the primal diet thing as a household.. picky 12 year old and 9 year old… They are taking homemade beef jerky, boiled eggs, and oranges or school lunch for the past week and are loving it.
Lori says
I would love to see more breakfast recipes. I love the porridge recipe and more like that, or more smoothie, or fresh juice recipes. Love your site.
Shannon says
This looks really great. Thank you. I am going to try this weekend. How do you think it would be as a loaf for making sandwiches? I have 19 mo twins who aren’t “paleo”, but they are GF and SF and i do try to use only almond flour and coconut flour in my baking as that’s all I can eat. Anyway, having quick and easy options that they and my two other kids will eat is always a challenge.
Regarding recipes – anything paleo is awesome. I would love to see easy dinner ideas that could either be made in the crockpot, as a casserole that I could prepare ahead of time and throw in the oven or just something easy to make while I have young children screaming at my feet after I get home from work and attempt to make dinner.
Thanks so much for all of your great ideas. I love your website.
andrea says
The Paleo Bread recipe on this site is great for sandwiches and toast!
