I made this exactly as shown. It was a very dry dough and I figured more liquid should be added, but went ahead with it. The top was crumbly, but I allowed it to cool 10 minutes as stated. When I dumped it out…it completely fell apart…crumbly. However I did taste it and it does taste like a thick hardy bread. I will try this again, and add more almond milk

I made these into muffins, and used chia seed instead of flax seed because that’s what I had on hand. I also added about a teaspoon of cinnamon and one of stevia powder, and 2/3 cup of blueberries. Great muffins! Lots of protein, and perfect for my reactive hypoglycemia diet as well as my daughter’s gluten free diet. It’s a keeper.
Ok, made it a second time! This time I followed the recipe exactly, except i was short 1/4 cup almond flour so substituted coconut flour and I only had 3 eggs on hand so used a tad extra almond milk. And I shaped it as a loaf this time, again, it was great! I might add some rosemary next time? With the olive oil that might be nice.

I made this exactly as instructed and was pleasantly surprised how moist & delicious it came out. The dough is more like a batter when it was all mixed & used parchment paper in the loaf pan for easier extraction. The loaf took 30 minutes in my oven, it was golden brown & a knife inserted came out clean. I will make this again & again. I plan on trying to sweeten it a tad since I want to have this with my morning tea. Thanks to the original poster!

This recipe is excellent. My family says it tastes akin to cornbread, but it doesn’t fall apart like cornbread does. Works great as sandwich bread, and I’ve been making it every week or so for specifically that purpose, or just as a snack with cream cheese. Very filling and a great low-carb option that still has some fiber! One of the few recipes I was able to find that didn’t involve beating egg whites, which when I first made this I did not have access to a beater.
This may be obvious (though it wasn’t to me) that the default 8 servings will not nearly be enough to fill a bread pan, or at least my bread pan. Had to go with the 16 servings option at the top there.
I have been using psyllium husk to add fiber to other breads, but have not tried it with this recipe. For a more fiber rich alternative, some or all of the flaxseed meal could probably be substituted for psyllium husk if you’ve got it!
Try adding more liquid (olive oil and milk) if your bread ends up really dense and hard to chew. I added an extra 1/4 cup of each and the batch turned really fluffy and delicious. My girlfriend will finally eat it!

Fantastic Gluten Free No Carb Bread!
I made this bread exactly as described in the recipe except I used almond meal (basically ground almonds) instead of almond flour which doesn’t have the almond skins. It really turned out great, better than I expected! I am not sure why another baker found the recipe too dry because I was worried that it was too wet. The picture also shows a square shaped bread but I used a loaf pan as in the recipe. The result was very “bread-like.” Good sliced and toasted with butter and jam, good with peanut butter, or cream cheese and smoked salmon. I had several non gluten free friends and my husband try it and they all liked it too. Thank you so much! -

This is my first time baking with almond flour and did not expect a great result! I used a toaster oven.
I didn’t have flaxseed meal, so used another half-cup of almond flour. Because I like fiber, I threw in 1/2 cup wheat bran and 1/5 cup of wheat germ. (for those doing low-carb, this might be problematic)
When I tried to remove it from the pan it tore some bottom crust off; it seemed a little soggy – so I gave it another 10 mins in oven, upside down.
And it slices perfectly, not at all crumbly, and tastes great. -

I used lemon flavored olive oil, and added a little gluten free all purpose flour. It was the best gf bread I’ve made so far, and actually gets better as the week goes on. It toasts fine, and makes a great snack with cream chese and a little jam or honey maybe. Thanks for this super recipe!

Great! Loved the crisp crust and the extremely moist and light, yet dense texture of the bread. I doubled the recipe, and used half eggs, half flax eggs; half coconut, half olive oil; and subbed ground, sprouted buckwheat groats for just under 1/3rd of the almond meal (which I ground, not-so-fine, myself) instead of almond flour. Because I used so much more flax, I had to cook it for an extra 10 mins, as it was still very wet inside. I let it rest for 15 or minutes in the pan, and when took it out and I knocked on the bottom, it sounded deep and hollow. Ready! Next time, I’ll use half the oil and will try using all flax egg, to make it vegan. (Because this was SUPER moist with the extra flax, I’m guessing I’ll be able to reduce the egg by 1/4 and oil by half, so only 6 flax eggs and 1/8c coconut oil for a double recipe.)

Being new to Gluten Free, the new eating challenges are interesting. I also strive for a Keto diet without red meats. Anyway, this bread was sooo easy to make and sooo delicious. I substitute MCT oil for the olive oil, since olive oil breaks down above 100 degrees. Also, I use a small loaf pan rather than the standard size. It comes out perfect in 45 minutes. In the morning I toast a slice in my toaster oven and then lay on the coconut oil… or butter. Yum!

I will definitely make this bread again – but I prefer coconut flour over flax seed, based on past experiences.
For a holiday twist, I added the following organic ingredients: coconut oil, stevia, cinnamon, raisins, pastured butter, and light agave syrup. It turns the bread a beautiful brown, and definitely gives it a sweet bread quality!!
I love the straightforward layout of the ingredients provided. I didn’t even have to knead it – just used a tablespoon.
I look forward to making it just as it’s laid out!! -

I made this exactly as written as I had never used almond flour before and it turned out pretty good (true rating 3.5 stars) As it was baking, it smelled very eggy, like a breakfast casserole. Now, I like breakfast casserole but not as bread. To my surprise, the taste is quite neutral. Does not rise and has the consistency of banana or zucchini bread. Being neutral in flavor it would be very easy to add spices for a savory bread or fruit and nuts for a sweeter version. So I like the potential to use it as a base and add to it which I will do,

I just started a Kato diet and this bread is going to make it so easy! Like others it didn’t fill the pan but I’m going to play around with it. I don’t really want to double the recipe because I want to make it much more net carbs. I’ll try increasing the baking powder and then play around with the flour and eggs. But an awesome base! I already made a mini pizza with some and a grilled cheese sandwich! I think tomorrow I do raspberry muffins with the dough for breakfast!

Trying to go low carb and thought I would try something different. I made this recipe exactly as the recipe states, using parchment paper in the loaf pan. I just had a warm slice and think it is delicious. It would serve as a great base for other types of bread, adding thyme, rosemary, garlic….or even adding blueberries or cranberries to change it up. I will definitely be making this again.

This bread is WONDERFUL! I had just about given up finding an almond flour recipe I liked. After trying 5 others, I decided to try one more. I am SO glad I found this one. I was so anxious to make it but I didn’t have flax meal, searched and found out 1/3 cup applesauce can be used as a substitute for the flax meal. This bread is delicious! It doesn’t rise high, but that’s ok, I’ll just double the recipe and adjust the cooking time, good old knife test works great to see if it’s done. I can’t thank you enough for this recipe. I have real problems with grains of any kind, but especially wheat, had to stop eating that a long time ago. Seeing the high prices of grain free products, I decided to start finding recipes. This one is a life saver. I miss having sandwiches on real bread, and this is like having real bread. This one does NOT taste eggy like some of the ones I’ve tried that asked for 5 to 6 or more eggs. Let it completely cool before cutting, then it doesn’t crumble. Had to try a piece while hot and I put some bacon grease on it, a touch of salt, and OMG, it was heaven! Thank you, thank you, thank you again for this.

Made it exactly as written and baked it with parchment so it would come out clean- which it did. Did not crumble. I tried a piece dry so I could get the flavors and it actually tasted too salty for me.. I think I’ll try it as muffins next time and add some blueberries or cranberries. I will make it again and reduce the salt to 1/4 teaspoon

I made this exactly as written. The instructions called the mixing results “dough”. I would call it “batter” . I cooked it exactly as directed .. to the minute. It was perfectly formed and done throughout. It is a dense, moist bread which does not crumble when sliced. It is high calorie and cholesterol but MY concern was the carb count. I am diabetic. This bread doesn’t have much of a taste so I topped my slice with butter and just a tiny schmear of honey. Delightful. I will make it again.

This was my first time making anything with almond flour. It turned out really well and is quite tasty. My husband likes it too. We made French Toast with it this morning and it was great!
I made this bread twice. The first time I used half n half instead of almond milk, since that was the only milk I had. The second time i used 2% milk. I couldn’t tell a difference between the two. Also, it only needed 30 minutes to bake.

Did come out tasting rather good. my loaf pan ended up being too big for the amount the 8 servings made. I will definitely try and make the 16 servings one. I suggest using parchment paper instead of oil, my loaf got stuck in one section and ended up in several pieces. Def try it out, tastes good.

Love this recipe and make it at least weekly. I substituted ghee for the olive oil and slightly increased the baking powder and it makes for a great sandwich bread or sometimes we even warm it up and add some raw honey for a quick sweet snack. I only wish it was a little lighter as mine tends to be a bit of a heavier bread.

I’m very impressed, it turned out great. I beat the eggs until foamy and light yellow and then added the rest of the ingredients , that helped it to be more tender (I was afraid it was gonna be too dense). I also decreased the salt to 1/4 tsp after reading the reviews, great advise. The batter was pretty wet, just like a quick bread batter.

I mixed it as noted but the batter seemed thin so I added 1/8 cup more of almond flour. It didn’t dough ball up, still looked like pancake batter. I sprayed the pan with coconut oil. I cooked it per recipe and it came out a nice light brown. It was denser than I imagined (not surprised since I added additional flour). The texture was good but was flat tasting.Put some butter and preserves on it to add flavor . I think next time I will add some honey to the batter and not add more flour.

Great recipe. I made it exactly by the recipe. Except doubling salt (sea salt) by accident. I really liked how it turned. Since on I will be using double amount of sea salt. Also, I will double amount of the batch to make the loaf more full. I sprinkled some coriander seeds on the top before baking.

Fabulous. I had some almond flour and flax seed meal around so decided to make this though I have no problem with gluten. It is delicious. It has a subtle delicious flavor of almonds and you can vaguely feel the almond meal in your mouth. So nice and complex.
So…made the first loaf last night and it’s gone. Today I tried the same recipe but substituted coconut oil for the olive oil and threw in some maple syrup. Equally delicious as the first loaf but slightly sweet. You can, of course, play with the amount of maple syrup. I can think of many variations! A bit of jalape?o might work very nicely. And on and on.
Overall, a fabulous recipe with lots of potential for variety. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this recipe. This bread is better than any gluten free bread I’ve ever tried, the consistency amazes me, it feels and looks like real bread, slices and toasts really well plus it’s super healthy. The only reason I took off a star is because your measurement’s weren’t enough to fill my loaf pan and I grabbed the smallest loaf pan I could find. I would literally have to add 2 x more ingredients next time, and almond flour is not cheap around here, but am willing to make it again and invest in more almond flour because this is such good bread and healthy!

I doubled the recipe and substituted hemp milk . But batter was very liquidy so I added an extra cup of Almond flour. I might not double the eggs next time. I also baked this in a 18 mini loave pan for about 12 minutes. This is a great high protein buscuit ~ 4.8 gm PR/oz. Great tasting bucuits.

I followed the recipe exactly. It wasn?t dry, it didn?t crumble and it was pretty darn good! If you don?t stir or sift your ingredients you may over measure. It?s low carb which is what I was looking for. It?s not like bread from traditional flour so if that?s what you?re expecting you?ll be disappointed. But if you?re open minded you?ll be pleasantly surprised! Making this for Christmas with some variations in a couple loaves. Thanks for a great recipe.

Fantastic recipe, as is. Note: You cannot rate any grain-free recipe as compared to a loaf of yeast bread. They are entirely different (I imagine that is the source of dissatisfaction behind some of the less-than-great reviews).
That said, this came out of the oven and was slathered in Kerigold butter – very yummy! Dark with a mild, nutty flavor (not ?eggy? like others I?ve tried), with a fairly dense-but-moist texture.
Once cooled, made a perfect base for an open-face tuna sandwich. Thin slices hold up, but flavorful enough for thick. -

I used the exact ingredients listed and this loaf turned out very well. As long as you keep your expectations realistic it tastes fine and makes good toast. I made one adaptation to the instructions: I beat the eggs in my stand mixer until they were pretty fluffy. Then I added the rest of the wet ingredients, mixed again, then folded in the dry ingredients. I think this made the loaf a nice texture. I baked 2 small loaves for 30 minutes; the result was beautiful. Leftovers went in the fridge and are holding up well 2 days later. I’ll be sharing this recipe with my low carb eating friends!

It?s a good bread. No issues with dryness, it?s a moist bread. I will make a double batch for taller bread. I have to make my own baking powder so I don?t know if that?s why it doesn?t rise or if it?s the nature of the ingredients. Will continue to make (have made 3 batches so far).

I made this bread yesterday and followed the recipe exactly except that I thoroughly beat the eggs before adding them, I used a brand new can of baking powder as I heard that it loses potency fast, light olive oil and natural almond flour (it’s darker in color.) I could barely wait until it had cooled down before trying it and I was in bread heaven! It’s light, moist, and the texture is somewhat like a whole grain bread. Sorry, no photo because it didn’t last past breakfast this morning.

It was more like runny cake batter than dough. Because it was the first time making it I was super careful to follow directions and measurements exactly! Needless to say it does not look anything like the picture of the poster! I am not sure how you are supposed to make a sandwich out of something that?s barely 2? high. It definitely will not go in the toaster ! When I read the other positive results I wonder if the size of eggs have anything to do with the flop?

So, I’m the worst cook in this hemisphere (they haven’t tasted my cooking in Asia yet). Followed this recipe, except I added two teaspoons of Stevia. It turned out perfect. Kind of a cornbread texture, maybe a bit of an acquired taste, but a great alternative to wheat based bread.
