Ingredients

▢ 2 cups blanched almond flour
▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
▢ 4 large eggs separated and at room temperature
▢ ¼ cup coconut oil melted if needed to liquify
▢ 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar preferably raw unfiltered

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
Combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.
In large bowl, whisk together coconut oil, egg yolks, and apple cider. Add the almond flour mixture and stir just until combined. Wait 1-2 minutes before adding the egg whites. Spread into prepared loaf pan. For a fluffier bread, you can whip up the egg whites and fold them into the batter.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until bread is golden brown and toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
Allow to cool on wire rack for at least 15 minutes before removing from pan. Then cool completely. Can be wrapped and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

To avoid "Baker's ammonia," it's best to separate the eggs and add the egg whites 1-2 minutes after the vinegar and baking soda. The product of a reaction between baking soda and the proteins in egg whites can create an ammonia smell.

A green color can occur in the loaf if there’s a reaction between the baking soda and chlorophyl or chlorogenic acid in the almonds. To prevent it, you’d need to use less baking soda or add more vinegar. The color may not be pleasing to the eye but has no impact on quality or taste.

Nutritional data is based on slicing the bread into 16 equal sized slices.

Nuts or seeds can be added to the bread and sprinkled on top. Herbs and spices are also great additions.
