Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk (or unsweetened almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar)
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly incorporated.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or almond milk mixture), eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to ensure no lumps remain. The dough will be thick but manageable.
If using walnuts, gently fold them into the dough for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Using a sharp knife, score a shallow 'X' on the top of the dough to allow for even baking and give it the traditional wheaten bread appearance.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the bread is firm to the touch, golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the bread warm or at room temperature, with butter or your favorite low-carb spread. Enjoy!
