Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly with butter.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and sea salt until no lumps remain.

  3. In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs vigorously for 1-2 minutes until they become slightly frothy. Stir in the melted butter.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a thick, uniform batter forms.

  5. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to prevent the melted butter from solidifying when mixed.

Don't skip the xanthan gum; it provides the structural 'chew' that replaces gluten in this recipe.

For a savory twist, add 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary or garlic powder to the dry ingredients.

Slice the entire loaf once cooled and freeze with parchment paper between slices for easy toasting later.

Questions

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
No, coconut flour absorbs much more moisture than almond flour. Substituting it directly will result in an extremely dry and crumbly loaf.
Why does my almond bread taste eggy?
This recipe relies on eggs for lift. To minimize the eggy taste, ensure you are using fresh eggs and consider adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the batter.
How should I store this bread?
Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Does this bread toast well?
Yes! Because of the healthy fats in the almond flour and butter, this bread crisps up beautifully in a toaster or on a hot griddle.
