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 normally don’t post comments, but my 8 year old daughter and husband absolutely LOVED this. After eating too many lol, she said, whoever gave you the recipe, you need to tell them I said THANK YOU!!!!
Elana says
Lisa, so great to hear your family LOVED this!
Vera says
Hello! I would like to know if I can use roasted cashew butter instead of raw?
Elana says
Hi Vera, I haven’t tried that, if you do please let us know if it works :-)
Leonne says
I used unsalted roared nuts, and it came out great. This is the best cashew butter recipe I’ve tried.
Elana says
Leonne, so great to hear this is the best cashew butter recipe you’ve tried!
Lori says
I LOVE this bread! Works wonderfully for me… Anyway I can take this recipe and turn in into a chocolate cake?
Elana says
Hi Lori, I haven’t tried that so not sure what it would entail. Have you seen my recipe for Paleo Birthday Cake?
https://elanaspantry.com/paleo-birthday-cake/
It’s chocolate, and with just 7 ingredients it’s easier to make than a traditional wheat-filled birthday cake. Enjoy!

Donna says
Can cashew butter be replaced by almond butter in this recipe?
The OG Cavedweller says
Yes, I just did it! It turned out wonderfully!
Suzanne says
Just wondering where I can get nutritional values? Counting carbs.
Thank you,
Suzanne

Jana says
This was so easy and turned out perfect!! I’ve only had it toasted with butter so far and it’s exactly what I needed to kill the garlic buttered toast craving.
Elana says
Jana, so glad this was perfect!
Debortah says
I have been on a version of SCD for almost two years and have tried numerous bread recipes. This one comes the closest to real bread. The bread is slightly dry and, while not horrible, I started thinking about to improve it. Then I remembered that Dry Curd Cottage Cheese is SCD complaint and it adds texture to the bread. Tried it yesterday and the results are amazing. This is the closest thing to wheat bread I’ve eaten in two years! Am having to use a lot of willpower to not sit here and eat the whole thing. I didn’t use a food processor, used my mixer, and it worked just fine.
Monica says
Hi Debortah, how much dry curd cottage cheese did put on the recipe?
Thanks!!
Susan says
This is an awesome recipe but not really low-carb. The cashew butter has 6 carbs for 2 tbs. There are 16 tbs in a cup. Plus there are carbs in honey. Almond butter is lower in carbs, but not by much. If you are on a keto diet or are diabetic, you will have to be careful with this bread.
b obbi says
Can I know how many carbs are in this Loaf?
Renee Baker says
Love it, it came out great! I didn’t have honey, so I used agave and it was just fine.
Another good one! :)
