Homemade Paleo Bread

One of the biggest complaints I hear from those who are trying to take up a healthier lifestyle is “but what will I eat if I can’t eat bread?!” Bread is a staple in many people’s diets – we use it in the morning for toast, in the afternoon for sandwiches, and even in the evening as a snack.  Bread is delicious but it’s not always great for your gut or your waistline (even if it’s the whole grain variety).

Bread is a simple carb – meaning it is digested quickly causing a spike in your blood sugar and then you have a quick decline, leaving you fatigued and hungry.  Bread is not your friend when it comes to losing weight and feeling energized, but now you can put your worries aside with this delicious paleo bread recipe I adapted from @lilsipper!

Ingredients: 

• 1 teaspoon baking soda (aluminum free)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 5 eggs, preferably pastured
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• ¼ cup flaxmeal
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ¾ cup cashew butter
• 1½ tablespoons raw honey

Instructions: 

1. preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all your ingredients together well (I used a stand mixer)
3. pour into a bread pan, and smooth out your batter.  Bake for 30 min or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
4. let cool and enjoy!
