This low-carb, high-protein, gluten-free bread is a cinch to make. It is especially tasty toasted, then topped with almond-butter, raspberry jam, and a sprinkle of salt. Add a second slice of bread to it and you’ve got a paleo PBJ!
Here are some of my other low-carb gluten-free bread recipes:

Hi, Elana!
I took this recipe and added a tad bit of vanilla, handful of blueberries and some fresh rosemary and I must say..its AMAZING. I highly recommend the combination. Thanks so much for this great recipe as a bread base!
Elana says
You’re welcome Nedda. So glad you like this bread!

Hi Elana. I’m new to bread making, and need some clarity. You say “stir” the ingredients together. Am I not supposed to use a blender or mixer? Am I making a “batter” or a dough? I assumed I needed to make dough to make bread. Look forward to making my own bread. Thanks for the recipe.
Elana says
Hi Bruce, making a quick bread is different than making traditional bread. Use a spoon to mix the ingredients together in the bowl. You will be making a somewhat thick batter. Enjoy!

Just made this. I wanted no cholestrol to so I substituted the eggs with Egg Creations. Somehow it didn’t look right in the pan. So I added 1/2 cup more of the almond flour 2 more tablespoons of the egg creations and a bit more of the oil and also apple cider vinegar. (I’ve made many a breads ) Well it still didn’t look right. So I pushed the batter to over to the right, to give it more height. Well it is very delicious!! Thou eggs are a protein (makes this bread high in cholestrol) CALORIE COUNT is a free website where you just type your ingredients in sample 1 1/2 cups almond flour. Can’t wait to try the dinner rolls!!!!
Lee says
There is a lot of research on cholesterol (good info, not the rubbish we’ve been fed since the 70’s). Please don’t give up eggs or fat in fear of it. Read Cholesterol Clarity or the Cholesterol Myth. There’s plenty free info also. We also dont count calories. Just eat healthy :)
Lynne says
my son has autism and adhd and are looking for recipes. Can I substitute for the apple cider vinegar? he can’t have apples. thx
N. Van says
Yes, you can substitute other vinegars. I happened to have raspberry honey vinegar on hand, used it and it was delicious!
I also don’t understand why some people say their bread is dry. I have made this recipe six times since discovering Elana’s Pantry, and it is wonderful with the same, moist consistency time after time.
I use raw honey which I think adds moisture and a superfine almond flour.
My son loves it, by the way!! Thank you for making my low carb, gluten-free journey so yummy!

Hi Lynne,
Just read your comment about your son not being able to eat apples is this to do with his Autism and Adhd? I have two boys also with Autism and Adhd.
looking forward to your response

I am guessing he is on a low salycilate diet like my family… it is great for these kids, and to avoid medicating.
Jenn says
I know this comment is way late but for my son (who is now grown) apples would make the hyperactivity part of his adhd so much worse. He wouldn’t be able to calm himself – it was so strange to watch the result of apples. As an adult, he tells me that raw not cooked apples cause his mouth and throat to itch but he never put the two together to vocalize the feeling as a young person. I guess the apples would just bother him and that’s why he would get out of control. You might try it sometime and see if you see a change. You will notice it within minutes of the apple product. I would give him a red pear in the fall instead. There’s a real old book called the Feingold diet. Maybe google it and see what you think. That’s where I learned to eliminate apples from my sons diet. ?

Hi Elana, I am so happy to have found this recipe of yours! As I was replacing with chia seed eggs, I halved the recipe so of course, it was a very tiny loaf in height as my “test bread”. I used 2 tablespoons chia seeds to 6 tbspoons water (vs 2 eggs) and needed to add 1/4 cup of water as batter was a bit dry. Did it in the toaster convection oven for 45 minutes and it was nicely browned on top. My hubby loved it with homemade jam from a friend … and said it tasted like a scone. Thanks again for your wonderful, simple and yummy recipes!
Allison says
Hello
I’m interested in making the loaf without eggs. Sorry – I’m a bit confused about what you’ve written – did you replace the eggs with Chia seeds?
Thanks
Asha says
Use product called egg replacer. It’s wonderful!
Lexi says
What can I substitute the baking soada for in the recipe since my diet doesn’t allow it??
Dana says
What have you used in the past as a baking soda replacement? Some use potassium bicarbonate (found in the supplement section) as its a 1:1 ratio replacement.

I wanted to share a few changes I made to this already awesome recipe.
I used Vanilla greek yogurt and added a teaspoon of Cinnamon.
Its a little sweet treat!
Noora says
Hi!
Im from Finland. Iv used many of your recipes, and they all taste very good!
This bread was perfect! Its delicious. I used fine almond flour, and honey. Nothing wrong with it!
Asha Lata says
Hi..what can i use to make it rise to the normal loaf height? Btw, it came out great aside from it not being tall enough to use as a sandwich.
Amy says
Hi Elana, does this bread hold up well to grilling sandwiches like grilled cheese?
Joel says
I just finished making this and it is delicious! I don’t have the baking pan called for so made it in a regular Pyrex baking dish which made it come out a little flat. Also no palm shortening so used hardened coconut oil. Next time will use the 5X5 Pyrex baking dish I have. Thanks for the recipe. Now on to the Mexican Wedding Cookies!
