Enjoy a batch of these homemade rusks for all their versatility, from pairing with nut butters to dipping in coffee, and keep them fresh for up to a week in an airtight container.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In another larger bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined into a thick batter. Be careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the loaf is cooled, slice it into thin slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C). Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the slices for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are dry, crisp, and golden brown.
Remove the rusks from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store your paleo rusks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
