Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk (or unsweetened almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar)
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or almond milk mixture), eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to ensure no lumps remain. The dough will be thick but manageable.

Step 5

If using walnuts, gently fold them into the dough for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, score a shallow 'X' on the top of the dough to allow for even baking and give it the traditional wheaten bread appearance.

Step 8

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the bread is firm to the touch, golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the bread warm or at room temperature, with butter or your favorite low-carb spread. Enjoy!
