Almond Flour Flaxseed Bread
This Almond Flour and Flaxseed Bread quickly became one of my favorites. With its soft, pillowy interior and golden, slightly crispy crust, it has just the right balance of nutty flavor and subtle earthiness from the flaxseeds. Whether I spread a little almond butter on it for breakfast, top it with a slice of cheese for a quick snack, or enjoy it on its own, it never disappoints. It’s so simple to make and always turns out perfectly. Every slice feels like a small victory in the kitchen, and I love how versatile it is—perfect for any moment of the day!
I recommend using metric measurements for exact results.

Blanched Almond Flour224 gr2 cups
Can almond flour be bad for you? Almonds contain phytic acid, which may impair your zinc, iron, and calcium absorption. However, almond flour contains a lot less phytic acid than most flours, including wheat flour. The process of blanching almond flour gets rid of most of the phytic acid. In general, almond flour is good for you!
Ground Flaxseed30 gr1/4 cup
Use home-ground flax seeds, the finer the meal, the better bread will hold together. Note, flaxseed become rancid quickly and become bitter, taste the seeds before grinding, they should have a mellow, nutty flavor and aroma.
The recipe will work with golden flax seeds too, the bread will turn lighter.

You can use any mild-flavored oil, such as coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, or avocado oil, will do.
Baking Soda3 gr1/2 teaspoon
After you mix baking soda (base) with apple cider vinegar(acid), you get a chemical reaction and a product of this is carbon dioxide, producing a lift in your baked goods. The reaction starts as soon as the base and the acid are mixed. So get the bread in the oven immediately after you mix the two, before the reaction tapers off.
