flax seed meal – From Lorian's Kitchen

I missed having a thick slice of homemade bread, like I used to before I was gluten-free, to go along with my warm bowl of butternut squash soup. So, I created this delicious gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo bread that brings together the nutty flavors of almond and coconut with just a hint of cinnamon spice and maple. The bread is so moist that you don’t even need additional spreads.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 30-35 minutes

Servings: 8 to 12 slices

1-1/3 cups ALMOND FLOUR
1/2 cup COCONUT FLOUR

1/2 teaspoon SALT
5 EGGS

2 tablespoons MAPLE SYRUP
3 tablespoons VEGAN BUTTER 
   (+1 tablespoon for topping), melted

   (+1/2 teaspoon for topping)
