Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground psyllium husk (fine powder)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (helps lift)
  • 3/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup golden flaxseed meal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sweetener for a hint of brioche-style sweetness
  • 3 tablespoons almond flour or 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
  • Optional: pinch of garlic powder or everything seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and prep: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, psyllium, baking powder, and salt until no clumps remain.
  • Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, oil, and vinegar until smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Combine: Pour wet into dry. Stir with a spatula until a thick, spreadable batter forms. Don’t overmix.
  • Fill and smooth: Transfer to the loaf pan. Smooth the top with a damp spatula and score a shallow line down the center to guide the rise.
  • Bake: Bake 35–45 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. If browning too fast, tent with foil.
  • Cool: Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift onto a rack. Cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the loaf pan with parchment.
  • Combine dry mix: Whisk coconut flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Break up any lumps for even texture.
  • Blend wet mix: In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, and melted fat until smooth.
  • Hydrate: Stir wet into dry. Let the batter rest 3–5 minutes so coconut flour absorbs liquid. Batter should be thick but spreadable; add 1–2 tablespoons milk if too stiff.
  • Bake: Spoon into the pan, smooth the top, and bake 40–50 minutes. The loaf should spring back lightly when pressed.
  • Cool fully: Coconut flour breads firm up as they cool. Resist slicing while warm.
  • Mix: In a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin, stir flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
  • Cook: Microwave 70–90 seconds, just until set. Avoid overcooking or it’ll turn rubbery.
  • Finish: Let it rest 1 minute. Slice horizontally for a quick sandwich, or toast both sides in a skillet with butter.
