How to store it

To keep your bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you wish to keep it longer, you can freeze individual slices. Just wrap them well in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer bag. They can be thawed at room temperature or warmed in the microwave.

Helpful tips

• Make sure to measure your almond flour correctly, as too much can affect the texture of the bread.
• To enhance the flavor, consider adding chopped apples or nuts to the batter.
• Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot when you add it to the mixture to avoid cooking the eggs.

Optional variations

• For a bit of extra sweetness, consider sprinkling a cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter before baking.
• If you’re not using almond flour, you can replace it with an equal amount of your preferred gluten-free flour blend.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, you can substitute almond flour with regular all-purpose flour, but this will no longer make the recipe gluten-free.

What if I don’t have apple cider?
You can use apple juice as an alternative, but the flavor may be slightly different.

How do I know when the bread is done baking?
The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
