Ingredients
This gluten free almond flour bread is made without psyllium husk and requires just a few simple ingredients. Here's a list of what you need:
- blanched almond flour
- tapioca flour (or arrowroot)
- coconut flour
- baking soda
- salt
- large eggs
- almond milk yogurt (or grass fed cow's milk)
- apple cider vinegar
- water
Ingredient Substitutions
I've tested this loaf many times, but only using the ingredients listed. Meaning, for best results please use the recommended ingredients.
That being said, a few minor changes may be made. The tapioca flour may be substituted with arrowroot starch, as they have very similar baking properties.
In addition, grass-fed cow's milk yogurt may be used instead of almond milk yogurt. (I used Kite Hill plain, unsweetened yogurt.) Substituting with a coconut milk yogurt may work, but these yogurts are often thick so you may have to thin it out with some water.
How to Make Paleo Almond Flour Bread
To make this yeast free paleo bread, you'll need two mixing bowls, a whisk, a parchment lined 8" x 4" baking pan and the necessary ingredients.
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Next, line an 8" x 4" baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until the batter reaches a smooth, consistent texture.
Pour the batter into the lined baking pan. Set the pan in the oven (middle rack) and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. When the bread is done, it should be golden brown and firm.
Lastly, remove the bread from the oven and cool in the pan 5-10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a cooling rack and cool to room temperature.
Storage
This easy almond flour bread recipe is best stored in the fridge - it won't last at room temperature for very long. Keep this loaf in an air-tight container in the fridge up to one week.
For longer storage, slice the bread and place in the freezer. Toast or broil the bread in the oven when ready to eat.
Best Way to Eat Almond Flour Bread
This almond bread can be eaten many ways. Here are some ideas:
- eat as-is: this loaf is soft and moist and tastes great on it's own
- toast a slice and top with anything sweet or savory (butter, honey, jam, almond butter, cream cheese...)
- make French toast
- toast and eat with a bowl of soup
- make paleo sandwiches
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you have gluten free bread on paleo?
Most store-bought gluten free breads are not paleo friendly. However, bread is acceptable on a paleo diet if it uses the right ingredients.
My almond flour bread recipe is paleo friendly, along with many other bread recipes on my blog.
Is Paleo bread good for you?
Paleo bread is much healthier than other breads because it uses real, whole food ingredients. Many other breads (specifically those purchased in-store) are made with refined wheat flour which is a gut irritant, gums, fillers, vegetable oils and refined sugar.

My family loves this almond flour bread and we hope you do too!
Marion
Just delicious! I made it with arrowroot & goats milk yoghurt and added some pumpkin seeds and poppy seeds. So tasty! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Katie
Thank YOU! I'm glad you enjoyed the bread 🙂 Thank you for sharing your substitutions and leaving a review.
Kristen
This is such a great recipe! I have made it multiple times and used goat's milk yogurt each time. So delicious! Have you ever tried making and freezing this bread? Any thoughts on how that might be?
Thanks again for all the great recipes!
Katie
I'm so glad you love it! 🙂 Like most breads, I think this one is best fresh but you could slice a loaf and freeze it if necessary. After freezing it's probably best toasted.
Jade
I absolutely LOVED this recipe. I’m a huge fan of cakes with almond flour and this was just perfect. I added in chocolate chips (cause I have a sweet tooth) but I’d eat this on the side with something savoury as well. Amazing.
Kristina
Is there a replacement for Yogurt altogether?
Katie
Applesauce or mashed banana may work, but I haven't tried the substitution myself.
Kristi
I went by the recipe, minus yogurt or any substitute, and it did not rise. The flavor is perfect. The bread looked dense but tasted light. I was just curious if adding something besides yogurt, or an extra egg would make it rise. Any suggestions?
Katie
Taking away the yogurt will definitely change the texture of the bread. I'm glad you still enjoyed the flavor! Typically mashed banana or applesauce can be subbed for yogurt, but I haven't tested any of those swaps myself and that would change the taste. You might be able to do an extra egg and some water. Coconut flour is very absorbent, so having extra moisture in the batter helps counteract that.

Is there a good replacement for eggs?
Katie
No, eggs are needed for this recipe.

I just made this bread and it’s spectacular!!!! The best bread I’ve ever made … I just used arrowroot instead of tapioca and it’s perfect
Thank you !!!!
Katie
So glad you like it 🙂
Nora
Love this bread! I swapped arrowroot and used coconut yogurt, plus added some turmeric and dried herbs- yum! Thank you!!
*Five stars
Katie
I'm so glad you like it! The addition of turmeric and other dried herbs sounds amazing!
Kathryn Fancy
Can I use regular yogurt? What can I use instead of tapioca flour?
Katie
Yes, regular yogurt will work, but I would opt for a runnier yogurt (so no Greek yogurt). Tapioca flour gives baked goods with almond flour a better texture. The best swap is arrowroot starch/flour.
