To store this bread, wrap in a paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
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:
Jenni says
This is a great recipe! I love your grain free ideas, they are tasty and simple!
Elana says
Thanks Jenni! I’m so happy to hear this bread is great!
Larry W Duty says
Crap. Turned out flat, no texture, no taste. Way to dry!!!!!Either you don’t have a clue or your recipe is wrongly written.
Elana says
Larry, this bread is flat and dry when a regular size loaf pan is used rather than the size called for in the recipe. If you make it again using the recommended pan size I think you’ll love the results since this is both a family and fan favorite recipe :-)
Monica says
You are a Gracious woman Elana.
Susette says
I agree! That’s a lady
Jennifer says
seriously
Marybeth says
I have scoured the internet for the medium size pan….I can find the small one and the large one, but the medium appears to be not available. How should the recipe be adjusted to accommodate either size since its’ success appears to hinge on the size pan you used? TYIA…..
Elana says
Marybeth, thanks for your comment! I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to one of my gluten-free bread recipes that uses a standard size loaf pan for you!

Kelly says
Elana, how would using yeast in this recipe work out?
Elana says
Kelly, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Laura says
Larry please try again. I found this to be a delicious bread. And I don’t have a gluten intolerance. My neighbor made it & I was lucky enough to be there for a taste. It doesn’t make a very large loaf, so a smaller pan could make a difference.
Elana says
Thanks Laura! So glad you found this to be a delicious bread!
LL says
Wow, that was very rude.
You can state you don’t like the recipe that is fine but there is no reason to insult her and her knowledge.
Cindy L kesbey says
Can you use any salt ? And does it have to be raw honey?
Elana says
Cindy, any type of honey will work for this recipe. If you use a different type of salt you may need to reduce the amount :-)
Efrat Danon says
Hi,
Sorry to butt in – is it possible to replace the honey with something else, or take it out altogether. I’m at my first 30 days of Paleo and can’t have anything sweet.
Thanks (the bread looks delicious!(
Elana says
Efrat, no problem. I haven’t tried that so not sure, but I have a bunch of bread recipes here that do not contain any honey:

Cindy L kesbey says
What other Almond flour can you use besides Honeyville? This flour is very expensive but would like to know what everyone is using? Thank you
Elana says
Cindy, you might like to try some of the other recommended brands on my Almond Flour page:

Mary Ann says
I’ve been using almond flour from CostCo. I have even found some almond flour at Wal-Mart. You have to be sure it’s FLOUR not MEAL. It makes a world of difference.
Thanks Elana for all your great recipes!
Elana says
You’re welcome Mary Ann!
Diana says
Hello,
I made this bread, and loved it! I am making it again this evening, as the first batch is all gone. I had made other almond bread recipes previously, and they did not turn out as good as this one, so I was a bit skeptical at first. But I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered your cookbook, too, so I cannot wait to make more of your recipes. I am not gluten intolerant, but am wanting to eat healthier. This was so good and so simple! Thank you!!
Elana says
Thanks Diana! I’m so glad to hear that this bread was so good and so simple :-)
Sue says
What can I use in place of the eggs for a dairy free option?
Elana says
Hi Sue, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my Egg-Free Recipes page for you:

Enjoy!
Elana
Barbara Ward says
Eggs are not considered dairy. Dairy is milk and milk by-products like butter and cheese.
Sarah says
Hi Elana, have you ever tried whipping the egg whites and folding them in? I would be interested to know if anyone has and if it is lighter but still sliceable.
Elana says
Sarah, I haven’t tried that, if you do please let us know how it goes :-)
Dylan Kaulukou-Chang says
HI elana. what do you need to use to greased with the loaf pan? Is it greased with olive, and grapeseed oil then dust with almond flour? Is it for all breads that you upload? I made your recipe scrumptious sandwich bread from “gluten-free almond flour cookbook” to see if you greased with grapeseed oil, and dust with almond flour. Can I do it the same thing as like yours? Please let me know when you answer questions.
Thanks,
Dylan
Elana says
Dylan, any type of oil will work for greasing the pan in this recipe :-)
Dylan Kaulukou-Chang says
In your simple bread recipe, I don’t need to dust with almond flour, right? Do I only need to grease with grapeseed oil into the loaf pan instead? I’ll might make it soon. Let me know. Thanks!
Happy halloween?
Dylan :-)
Elana says
Dylan, yes :-)
Jane says
Hi:
First THANK YOU for this site! I love it.
If you want a Really easy Really healthy banana bread use this Simple bread recipe in a bread machine on cake mode. When I first made this bread I accidentally used UNblanched almond flour. The texture reminded me of my Grandmother’s banana bread sooo. . . next time I Added
3 bananas
Tablespoon (more or less to taste or leave out) of honey
Cinnamon
Cloves
This is the BEST banana bread and its healthy. Everyone loves it and because I can use my breadmaker its really easy. Thanks for the recipe(s) Elana. I have referred a lot of people to your site.

Thanks! I’ve got a few of these on my list of “things to try” already. I made the pumpkin bread/cake for the holidays (and a couple months ago for a treat too!) and really love that one. Everyone that has had it loves it. Its yummy and easy to make! Thanks again for helping out those of us that are new to this sort of eating/baking!
Elana says
Jane, so glad to hear that you are really loving my recipes :-)
Peggy Murray says
Thank you for a bread recipe that works. I am trying to go grain free in a home that doesn’t believe in anything but eating whatever you want. I have been craving bread. I tried a recipe from a book (not by you) and there was no binding agent (eggs or flax seed). The bread fell apart when I took it out of the pan. I made your bread and I could have butter and jelly and jelly again. Thanks
Elana says
Peggy, I’m so happy that this recipe allows you to have bread again!
Dorothy Denney says
Elana; I made this wonderful bread yesterday. I had a ham sandwich with it for lunch and this morning I had it toasted with my eggs and bacon. It is wonderful. The small loaf came out of the oven golden brown and moist inside with a texture much like a good pound cake. Thank you for developing this great recipe for someone on a low-cal diet.
Dorothy
Elana says
You’re welcome Dorothy!
Rachael Ball says
I made this today and it was delicious! I don’t have a 7.5×3.5 inch pan, but I do have a pan that holds several min loaves. I divided the batter evenly and came out with 3 beautiful mini loaves! Slightly sweet and very filling. And they didn’t taste eggy! Thank you! :-)
Elana says
Rachael, so glad you liked the simple bread!
