the best loaf! Almond Bread! loaf loaf loaf

This is a tasty bread made with almond flour (yay!) and flax (hooray!)  It makes us so happy because GOOD bread without gluten is hard to find. Almond flour has a yummy flavour and does not have the sandy texture other gluten-free flours tend to have. Who eats sand? Nobody. Sandworms do.



Ingredients:
  • 2cups almond flour (buy ground or make [grind in food processor until fine {not too fine or you'll have almond butter woa!}]. making it is fun and noisy)
  • 1cup chopped walnuts or pecans or BOTH
  • 3 tbsp ground flax seeeed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon or more. don't be shy when it comes to cinnamon.
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter or oil (we like to use coconut oil. tasty)
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk.  eat the rest of the can of milk with a spoon and a bashful expression
  • 1 mashed banana. we just like to mash things.
  • pinchy salt
To do:
  • Make sure you yell while food-processing the almonds. This is a great time to let out some frustrations.
  • Oven 375
  • oil pan
  • combine dry things. mix. smile at the nice pile of ingredients.
  • combine wet ingredients. mix. wink.
  • add wet to dry.
  • pour /press batter/dough into pan 
  • bake 45 mins
  • cool for 20 minutes. DONT DISMISS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS STEP. we broke the bread with impatience.



Yum! slice and eat sandwich-wise with things like avocado, sprouts , fancy-style mustard and fresh basil.  Bread is a little crumbly on account of the almond flour (try to get flour ground really fine if doing it yourself) so be careful and treat it well.  It will treat you well in return.
