Grain free almond bread



I received this recipe from my niece. It is grain free and tasty and quick to whip up!

2 & 1/4 cup almond flour (meal)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp of fine textured celtic sea salt (I just used normal salt)
5 large eggs
1 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 & 1/2 Tab of sweetener if desired (honey, or maple syrup or sugar). I just used a tiny bit

Grease a 9 by 5 loaf pan with olive oil . Place parchment paper on the bottom. Preheat the oven. Cook at 325 for a glass pan or 350 F for a metal pan. Mix the dry ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients. Combine them both and pour into the pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean---I may have cooked mine a bit more because I wanted the golden color.

Remove from oven when done. Place on a cooling rack. After it has cooled a while loosen the sides with a butter knife and turn over to slip it out. I only waited about ten minutes , but some people wait anywhere between 30 minutes and longer. Mine was nice and firm so I only waited about ten minutes.

The loaf comes out about 2 inches or a bit more in height. People have said you only fill the pan half full or it will not cook properly. Don't open the oven until near the end of the cooking time . I might try it in a slightly smaller pan next time to see how it turns out. Either way this is nice!

Note---another good recipe which I like a bit better is found here https://acleanbake.com/grain-free-sandwich-bread-yeast-free/
