My first loaf is cooking now. Smells amazing. I didn’t have flaxmeal so used all almond. I also substituted the honey with coconut sugar.
I do want to know if there is any alternative for the ACV. I am allergic to anything fermented.
I hope you love the bread, Danielle! While I’ve never tried this recipe without the vinegar, another reader has reported success with using applesauce instead. You could also try lemon juice. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to hear how it goes!
You could also substitute Cream of Tartar powder to provide the acid needed to react with the bicarbonate of soda & provide lift. Usually 2x the amount to whatever quantity of bicarbonate.
This turned out well. After reading reviews and suggestions I did 1 TBSP of honey, some garlic powder & 1.5 tsp Italian seasoning and a sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning on top because I was wanting something savory. That topping idea is fabulous!
I’m still getting used to almond flour texture for baked goods, it feels heavy to me but that’s a preference, nothing wrong with the recipe. I love that this recipe is easy to follow and doesn’t have a bunch of gums or difficult to find ingredients. It will definitely work as a vehicle for spreads or when one is feeling something bread-like.
I’m looking forward ro making it again in the future as written with cinnamon and the full amount of honey.
Mine was a bit dry and I wonder if decreasing the honey made a difference or perhaps I needed 35 min instead of 40.
Great bread. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. An all purpose bread. I love the texture and I’m looking forward to making more sweet and savory with this recipe. Thank you Erin. Your recipes are always perfect and amazing.
Best bread I have had since going glutenfree!!! I will make this anyday over the rice flour and tapioca flour breads I have purchased at the grocery store which are tasteless and glom onto your teeth. The cinnamon melds well with the almond flour and flaxseed flour. I sure miss my gluten but at least this is a tasty substitute.
Hi Allison! I’m not sure. I haven’t tried it myself so it would be hard for me to say for sure. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to know how it goes!
Very delicious bread!!! I used ghee instead coconut oil. It’s really good for people who want to lose weight but want to have slice of bread sometimes. Thank you for your recipe!!!
Hi Scott, honestly that is a tough call. Doing a little research online it seems like reducing the egg would be the best route, but it’s really hard for me to say without testing it. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to know how it goes!
I really enjoyed this recipe! I did it exactly at the recipe stated except I used half a banana instead of the honey (I am doing whole 30). I used a bread machine on the quick cycle and it worked !
Hi! Thanks for a great recipe! How do you measure the almond flour? There is a lot of variation between sifted, lightly packed, and densely packed. I measured it lightly packed and the batter looks very dense.
Hi Mary, my favorite way to measure flour is: fluff up the flour with your measuring cup first so it’s light and airy, then gently scoop and level off. Hope this helps!
I found out recently that I am pre diabetic. I’m a man who is 77. It’s never been a problem before. Now I’m trying to lower it and change my eating habits. I love cheese, fried shrimp, lunch meats..and bread.
I wanted to share this with you and everyone here.
This morning I cut a slice of this bread in half, put cream cheese on it and topped it with thinly sliced fresh strawberries instead of bread with strawberry preserves.
The combination (to me) was really satisfying. Excellent flavor together. Just another way to serve it.
The BEST!
Thank you for this recipe! I am gluten and yeast free and it’s so hard to find tasty bread.
Sorry, I did use 5 eggs instead of an egg white (still love the texture). I also used a little more butter and more flax meal than called for. It turned out perfect- sliced well too. Then after a little cooling I spread butter on a piece and went to heaven. I’ll spare you the other ways I scarfed my lovely loaf.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I did not have flax seeds so I used a banana and I used lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar. It was good. My husband and son loved it.

Hi Kay! Thanks for the tip, but I can’t recommend that without testing it out first.
This turned out well. After reading reviews and suggestions I did 1 TBSP of honey, some garlic powder & 1.5 tsp Italian seasoning and a sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning on top because I was wanting something savory. That topping idea is fabulous!

I’m so happy that you enjoyed it overall, Gerry! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
I would like to make this bread but do not have flax seeds or any other kinds of seeds. Can it be substituted with something else or omitted?
Hi Debbie! Another reader added banana in place of the flaxseed meal with great success. If you decide to try it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
Super easy recipe. We both love it. I often make it when we have stew or chili for dinner. My husband often goes back for seconds.
Hi Diane! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

Hi Sahara! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
my bread came out in a dark brown color. I followed the recipe except for egg white. What could have done wrong?
Hi Farhad! I’m not sure what you mean when you say you didn’t follow the recipe except for the egg white. What did you change? Thanks!
I have mixed flaxseeds, hempseeds, and chia seeds. Do you think I could use a 1/4 cup of that mixture (ground) in place of the flaxseeds?
Hi Allison! I’m not sure. I haven’t tried it myself so it would be hard for me to say for sure. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to know how it goes!
Does Kosher salt have to be used, I am unable to get it where I am.
Hi Mark, no, but I would recommend reducing the amount of salt used if using something other than kosher. Hope this helps.
Very delicious bread!!! I used ghee instead coconut oil. It’s really good for people who want to lose weight but want to have slice of bread sometimes. Thank you for your recipe!!!
Great to hear, thank you Nadia!
We only have XL eggs in the house. For this recipe, should reduce the eggs to 3 or just add a little more almond flour?
Hi Scott, honestly that is a tough call. Doing a little research online it seems like reducing the egg would be the best route, but it’s really hard for me to say without testing it. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to know how it goes!
I wish to use your recipe by using a bread machine, is this OK to do please?
Hi Alan, I’ve not tested it in a bread machine before. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to know how it goes!
Hi there does anyone know how to bake this for high elevation? I live in Colorado. Thank you!
Hi LJ, I don’t have much experience yet but someone else may have.
I really enjoyed this recipe! I did it exactly at the recipe stated except I used half a banana instead of the honey (I am doing whole 30). I used a bread machine on the quick cycle and it worked !

Love it, I added some chia seeds as they were mixed in the the flaxseed anyway. Absolutely delicious and easy to make. Thankyou for the recipe
So happy to hear you enjoyed it, Rebecca!
