Paleo nut & seed blender bread

HEARTY BREAD THAT IS SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS. 

If you are living low-carb and missing bread, we’ve got your back!

This gluten free bread has body to it and is not full of empty starches. It’s actually grain free. Made from nut and seeds, it is everything you need in a bread – it slices well, has a great texture and is full of flavour.

In most store-bought, gluten free breads, we’ve become used to a concoction of nutritionally empty starches as the main ingredient - with nuts and seeds a textural add-in or merely sprinkled on top for decoration.

This recipe relies only on ground up nuts and seeds as the flour. Nuts and seeds are an amazing flour and gluten substitute that not only taste awesome but are nutrient dense as well. Grinding whole (intact) nuts and seeds means that your blender bread will come with the full package of nutrients that nature intended.

All you need is a  high-performance blender! No kneading, rising, rolling or bread maker required. Basically, all the ingredients are combined and blitzed in a blender jug to form a batter. It’s that easy!. The result is a Paleo-friendly, protein and fibre-rich, hearty, and most importantly, super tasty loaf of goodness.

1/3 cup macadamia nut oil (or olive oil)
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
¼ cup coconut flour
¾ teaspoon bicarb soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
