No-Egg Almond Flour Bread Ingredients

Almond flour- Use blanched, fine-ground almond flour. Do not use almond meal to make this almond flour bread. It will give the bread a dense texture. Blanched fine-ground almond flour gives the bread a lighter texture. (You can make almond flour yourself!)

Coconut Flour- Coconut flour helps absorb some of the liquid in the batter and adds a subtle sweetness.

Ground Flax Seeds- Flax seeds provide structure. They thicken and create a gel that helps hold the bread together. 

Xanthan Gum- Xanthan gum also provides the bread with structure. It thickens when mixed with water, giving the keto bread a texture similar to wheat bread. 

Baking Powder- Baking powder helps leaven the bread, giving it a lighter texture.  

Salt– Salt gives the bread flavor. 

White Vinegar- Vinegar reacts with the baking powder, helping the bread rise more. 

Coconut Oil- Coconut oil gives the almond bread a soft, tender crumb. 

Water- Water transforms the dry ingredients into a dough.  

How To Make No-Egg Almond Flour Bread

Step One: Preheat the oven. 

Step Two: Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and use a whisk to evenly mix the ingredients until they are well combined. 

Step Three: Add the coconut oil, water, and vinegar. Mix it with a wooden spoon until a sticky, thick dough forms. 

Step Four: Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the xanthan gum and flaxseeds to absorb the moisture in the dough. It will still be slightly sticky, but it will be firm enough to shape into a dough. 

Step Five: Place the dough in the center of a sheet of parchment paper. Dampen your hands with water and shape it into a loaf. Dampen your hands again and smooth the top of the bread. 

Step Six: Bake the bread for 60-70 minutes until a skewer inserted into the almond flour bread comes out clean. Let the almond flour bread cool in the loaf pan for 5 minutes, then place it on a cooling rack. Let it cool completely before slicing. 

Ways to Flavor and Decorate the Bread

Here are some simple ways to elevate this almond bread’s flavor. 

Fresh Herbs: You can chop up some fresh thyme or rosemary to give the bread a herbaceous twist.  

Sweetener & Spices: You can add sugar and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg to give it a warm, sweet flavor. 

Nuts & Seeds: You can mix in or sprinkle chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, or walnuts on top of the bread to give it some texture. 

Tips for Success

Shape the dough before you put it into the pan. If you put it into the pan first before shaping, you will have to press it into an even layer. If you press it down too much, the bread will have a denser crumb. 

Make sure you use a piece of parchment paper that is slightly bigger than the loaf pan. The overhang will make it easier to place the bread in the pan and remove it from the pan. 

Every oven is different. Ultimately, the bread’s baking time will depend on the type of pan you use and the oven’s temperature. Insert a skewer into the center of the bread to test for doneness. If the toothpick or skewer comes out of the bread clean, it is done. If it comes out with crumbs, you need to bake it longer. 

Let the almond flour bread cool completely. The almond flour bread will have a fragile, soft texture when it comes out of the oven. The bread will firm up after it cools.

Storing No-Egg Almond Flour Bread 

Store the almond flour bread in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator. It will last for 4-5 days. 

You can also store the almond flour bread in the freezer. You can freeze the loaf whole, but I recommend freezing it in slices. This way, you can pull out a slice of bread anytime you need it. 

To freeze almond flour bread, cut it into individual slices, then wrap each slice of bread tightly with plastic wrap. Place the almond flour bread into a ziplock bag and freeze the bread for 3 months. 

FAQ

Does almond bread have carbs?

Yes, almond bread has carbs. Each serving has 6.6 grams of carbs and 2 net carbs. It’s one of the lowest-carb flours you can find.

Is almond flour better than coconut flour for bread?

Almond flour is more versatile than coconut flour. You can use almond flour to make bread, cakes, and cookies. Coconut flour is a bit trickier to work with than almond flour. It needs more liquid and eggs to create bread with a similar texture to wheat bread. If not, the bread will have an overly dry texture. 

Why is my almond flour bread not rising?

The almond flour bread will not rise high like traditional bread. Almond flour is heavier than other flours, so it will not rise as much. However, if your almond flour bread did not rise at all, your baking powder may have been bad. To test your baking powder to see if it is active, place 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of boiling water. If it bubbles, the baking powder is good. If it doesn’t bubble, toss it in the trash and buy more baking powder!
