Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C. almond flour
- 1/4 C. tapioca flour
- 1/2 C. flax meal
- 1/3 C. rice flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 5 eggs (separated)
- 1/4 C. oil (I used walnut oil)
- 4 oz. unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tsp. xylitol
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Directions
- This is how I put it together using my vitamix.
- Measure all the dry ingredients into a sifter.
- Put the 5 egg yolks into the processor, mixing until light yellow.
- Add to the yolks the oil, xylitol, applesauce and vinegar.
- Allow that to mix well.
- Now all the dry ingredients is measured out into the sifter so all I have to do is sift the dry ingredients into the processor and pulse to mix.
- Mix the dry ingredients 1/3 at a time so it blends evenly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 5 egg whites until stiff.
- Pour the batter from the processor into a bowl.
- GENTLY fold the egg whites into the batter. Do not over mix.
- The reason for all the sifting and the egg white beating is because almond flour is dense and heavier than regular flour.
- We want the bread to rise and be fluffy as it can be, so, beat and sift.
- Pour the batter into a oil sprayed 7 1/2 x 3 1/2 bread pan.
- In a preheated 350 degree oven, bake 30-35 min.
