This Paleo Cashew Bread recipe has only 5 ingredients and can be whipped up in a jiffy! It’s another super easy bread recipe that you’ll fall in love with. Why? Because to make it you simply throw the following into a food processor: cashew butter, eggs, baking soda, salt, and apple cider vinegar. You then mix it up, transfer your batter to a pan, and bake it! Voila, it’s easier to make Paleo Cashew Bread than regular bread.
Paleo Cashew Bread is a fabulous Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) recipe. What is the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? Read below to find out more! This easy bread recipe is also an amazingly delicious Paleo bread for those following the Paleo Diet.
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is the diet that saved my life. While I haven’t spoken extensively about it here, I owe Elaine Gottschall a load of thanks for long phone conversations, incredible advice, and her friendship more than a decade ago. The diet that she developed for her daughter did so much to heal both myself and my son (I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1998, and he was diagnosed in 2001). The SCD (one of the first grain-free diets) came to our rescue when nothing else worked! It was truly a miracle.
Thankfully for the newly diagnosed, there are people like Rochel Weiss and Lucy Rosset to keep the traditions of Elaine Gottschall alive –if you are looking for more information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet see Gottschall’s book Breaking the Vicious Cycle.
This amazing grain-free cashew bread recipe is from the book, A Taste of Wellness –it’s an incredible bread that tastes as close to the real thing as any grain-free bread recipe you’ll find out there.

I’ve added a touch of my original Paleo Bread recipe to Rochel’s recipe above by including apple cider vinegar –I’ve been using it in my breads for nearly a decade in order to create a chemical reaction that helps the bread rise. I also switched the method from a stand mixer (I don’t own one) to a food processor. Finally, I eliminated the oil, as well as the honey from Rochel’s recipe in my constant quest to develop recipes for you that call for as few ingredients as possible. So here you have it, a low-carb, gluten-free bread recipe brought to you by Rochel, and tweaked by me, Elana.
To store this paleo cashew bread, wrap in a paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Here are some of my other paleo bread recipes and paleo dessert recipes that use nut butter. If you’re wondering how to make paleo baked goods without almond flour, these recipes are for you!

I made this bread last week with almond butter, sunbutter and tahini. It turned out great, but it also had green stripes throughout when I took it out of the oven. The next day the center of the bread was green, I was wondering what could cause this?
Amy says
There is a chemical reaction between the sunflower seeds and the baking soda that causes the green. It can happen with pumpkin seeds as well. You can read more about the reaction on SunButter.com (just search the site for “green cookies”).
Randi says
I made the bread with homemade almond butter. It was delicious. I see other comments wondering about substituting chia or flax “egg” . I was wondering if anyone tried it for some or all of the eggs. I think it would add more fiber and healthy fats.
heather says
Cashew butter not cashew meal, correct?
Bobbi Kennedy says
Correct! :)
Paula says
How much does a cup of cashew butter weigh?
Lisa P. says
I made my own cashew butter by processing a 9 oz bag of salted whole cashews (and nothing else) and was pleasantly surprised that it came to 1 cup exactly.
My bread is in the oven now. I can’t wait to taste it. The batter smelled amazingly yeasty!
Jane says
I love this easy and delicious recipe! I added a layer of dark chocolate squares inside and the result is VERY reminiscent of chocolate croissants :)
Lor says
Such a surprise! With only 2 healthy ingredients, it turned so tasty and with the perfect consistency! Great for breakfast! Moreover, so quick and easy to make! We loved it (and we’re French! ahahah), I’ll make it again and share the recipe! Thank you Elana :)

Hi! After reading the comments, I was curious and I made this 2-ingredient-bread… amazing! I still can’t figure out how it is possible to make such a healthy, tasty and good consistency bread with only 2 main ingredients!! We loved it (and we’re French!). Great for breakfast! I’ll make it again and again and share the recipe!
I made my own cashew butter, even if I have a Vitamix I’m always afraid to kill the engine when I do nut butters (and I don’t want to add oil).
Sofya says
Hii there, i’m very curious of your 2 ingredients bread. Did you post it? I’m french too! And gluten free bread can be so dissapointing… Especially when you love french baguette! ;-)
Will says
with regard to the comment about cider vinegar. not everything fermented uses yeast. for example, sauerkraut is just salt and cabbage… organic cider vinegar uses apples that are allowed to develop bacertia in the same way… if in doubt, make your own, it’s very easy
Alissa says
Thank you so much Elana for this recipe!! I tried it yesterday and it turned out fantastic!! I am making another loaf as I am writing this review.
Anyone reading this, and who loves cashew must try this, Quick and easy!

OMG OMG OMG!! My life is changed with this bread! Finally a bread that chews like bread, has the mouthiness/umami of bread. It’s tasty, it “bends”, it does not crumble. What a wonderful base to start from for other “breads.”
Your website and recipes keep me on track of living a gluten free life. If I have a craving, I can usually dial in a flavor and several recipes appear that work.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I cannot wait to share this recipe with my GF friends. <3
