Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 cup flaxseed meal
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper, then lightly grease the sides with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten, and then add in the unsweetened applesauce, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as it can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds and flaxseed meal to absorb moisture which will help the bread bind and rise.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of the spatula.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
