Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if you are using it. Mix these dry ingredients until evenly incorporated.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, water, and optional vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the batter becomes thick and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Pour Batter and Smooth: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top evenly for an even bake and attractive finish.
- Bake the Bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The bread is done when it turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes to set properly. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to maintain its texture.
Notes
- Optional cinnamon and vanilla add subtle flavor but can be omitted for a more neutral taste.
- This bread is best stored in an airtight container and can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- To keep it fresh longer, slice and freeze portions, then toast as needed.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- If you desire a sweeter bread, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, adjusting wet ingredients accordingly.
