Ingredients

  • 2 cups fine almond flour (not almond meal)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons finely ground golden flaxseed or 1 tablespoon whole psyllium husk powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or melted butter/ghee)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for the pan)

Instructions

  • Preheat and prep: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment and lightly oil the sides.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, flax or psyllium, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
  • Blend wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. The vinegar helps activate the baking soda for a lighter crumb.
  • Combine: Pour wet into dry. Stir with a spatula until a thick, uniform batter forms. It should be scoopable, not pourable. If it looks dry, add 1–2 tablespoons more almond milk.
  • Shape: Transfer to the lined pan. Smooth the top with a damp spatula. Sprinkle seeds on top if using, and score a shallow line down the center for even rise.
  • Bake: Bake 35–45 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine). Internal temp should be around 200°F (93°C).
  • Cool properly: Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it out and cool on a rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This sets the crumb and prevents crumbling.
  • Slice and serve: Use a serrated knife to cut into 12–14 slices. Toast to bring out the best flavor and texture.
  • Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl. Add egg, water, and oil, stirring into a thick batter.
  • Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat with a thin film of oil.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup batter and spread gently into a 5–6 inch round. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until set and lightly browned. Repeat with remaining batter.
