Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are frothy. Add the honey and vanilla extract to the eggs, and mix until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and pitted dates, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the Paleo Date Walnut Bread once it has cooled. Enjoy it on its own or with your favorite nut butter for a delicious snack!
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and a more consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter – this can lead to a dense, tough bread. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check doneness – it should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and help it set properly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For a variation, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of dark chocolate chips to the batter.
