Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the eggs and melted butter to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.
Pour the batter into a greased small loaf pan (approx. 4x8 inches).
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool for a few minutes, then remove from the pan and slice into 8 thin slices.
In a food processor, combine basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, and lemon juice.
Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
With the processor running, slowly add olive oil in a steady stream until well blended and emulsified.
