Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to form a gel-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free baking powder, salt, and baking soda until thoroughly combined.
In another mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the unsweetened almond milk, apple cider vinegar, honey, and the prepared chia seed gel.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Mix until you have a thick batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the almond bread on its own or with your favorite spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
