omega bread - low carb

Serves 4 

 This nutritious recipe is a high-protein swap for other breads, and it will undoubtedly become one of your most-made recipes. Made with a mix of almond flour, whole seeds, and eggs, it is a high-protein swap but also offers plenty of omega-3s—which flax and chia seeds are particularly good sources of—and it's also gluten – free.


Ingredients

• 2 cups finely ground almond flour 
• ½ cup arrowroot powder 
• 1½ tbsp. flaxseed
• 1 tbsp. chia seeds 
• ½ cup mixed seeds, such as pumpkin or sunflower, divided 
• 1 tsp. baking soda 
• ½ tsp. sea salt 
• 5 large eggs 
• ¼ cup olive oil 
• 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar 

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. 
2. In a stand mixer, combine the almond flour, arrowroot, flaxseed, chia seeds, ¾ of the mixed seeds, baking soda, and salt, and mix on medium speed. Separately, beat the eggs, oil, and vinegar together in a bowl, then add the mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
3. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan, and top the batter with the remaining ¼ of the seeds; ensure the surface is relatively level. 
4. Bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it's golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Turn the bread onto a wire rack and let it cool. 

 
Note: If you do not have arrow root powder, you can substitute it with corn starch or corn flour
