A Challenge: Vegan Almond Flour Bread

On today’s agenda: Almond Flour Bread. More precisely,Cinnamon Raisin Almond Flour Bread.

I have been playing with almond flour a lot lately, and absolutely loving the results. It is naturally gluten-free, rich with nourishing fats, fiber and protein, and (thanks to its high fiber content) leaves me satisfied for hours.

Almond flour is not difficult to use, so long as you add a whole lot of eggs. In the absence of eggs, it is a challenge.

I love challenges:).

After much baking, and some hair pulling (another collapsed loaf!), I finally succeeded by combining almond flour with an all-purpose (1:1) gluten-free flour blend for thisCinnamon Raisin Almond Flour Bread.

• almond flour
• all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
• coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• ground cinnamon
• baking powder (certified gluten-free, as needed)
• baking soda
• salt
• unsweetened applesauce
• water
• cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
• raisins

Step by Step Instructions

Note that the complete instructions are also in the recipe card below.

• Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
• Line a 9×5-inch (22.5×12.5 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until blended.
• Add the applesauce, water and vinegar to the bowl. Stir until well blended and then stir in the raisins.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Cool in the baking pan for 20 minutes, and then invert onto a cooling rack. Carefully remove the parchment paper. Cool completely before slicing.

This bread isn’t just good. It is memorable (if I do say so myself). It’s especially-plain to make (one bowl, no hand mixers, & a short list of ingredients), and though it is low in sugar, it is great for:

• dessert
• breakfast
• snacking

If, for some reason, you do not share my love of raisins (ahem, that includes my sister, multiple friends, and husband), you can leave them out or using another dried fruit, such as dried cranberries. If it’s decadence you’re after, sub the raisins for some chocolate chips.

Happy baking, and here’s hoping you have lots of spring sunshine in your neck of the woods, too!

Storage

Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 1 week or the freezer for up to 6 months.

Flour Tips

It is critical that a gluten-free flour blend be used for the bread to work. Other gluten-free flours will not work here.

Regular Flour Option

If you do not need this recipe to be gluten-fee, use all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour or spelt flour in place of the gluten-free flour blend.
