Luckily for me, I have Nourishing Meals, the new cookbook from Ali Segersten and Tom Malterre of Whole Life Nutrition! In the book, they have lots of recipes for gluten-free breads and even a few grain-free recipes. I adapted their recipe for Coconut Almond Bread and made Coconut Cashew Bread.
This recipe is by far easier than I could imagined bread making to be! And not only is this recipe Grain-Free, but it's Paleo and Refined Sugar-Free! Triple score!

It might be paleo, but definitely not low carb.
ReplyDeleteHere is the carb count from my calculations:
DeleteApple sauce: 7 gms
Cashew Butter: 35 gms
Maple syrup: 13 gms
Eggs: 5 gms
Coconut flour: 22 gms (probably more)
Flax seed flr: 12 gms
Arrowroot: 14 gms
Total 108 gms
I can't tell how many slices the bread yields, but it looks similar to a bread that I make out of almond butter. The almond butter bread has about 90 gms of carbs in each loaf, which comes out to about 7 gms per slice.
The whole loaf has 2 tbsp of arrowroot, 1tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 cashew butter. I think one slice serving is pretty low carb in comparison to most bread.
ReplyDeleteI would say the 7gms a serving is low-carb, no?
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy! What size is the loaf pan you used?
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to try making this-- it looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful loaf of bread! Got this pinned to the Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest and also tweeted it out! :)
