    Gluten-Free Paleo Bread with Dried Fruit and Pecans

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
    Gluten-Free Paleo Bread with Dried Fruit and Pecans - The finished Gluten-Free Paleo Bread.
    Caption: The finished Gluten-Free Paleo Bread.

    Celiac.com 03/08/2016 - I bake frequently using a variety of flours. This, gluten-free paleo bread with dried fruit and pecans is a recipe I devised when trying to create a sweeter bread with virtually no grains. That's right, no grains! I used almond butter in place of the majority of the flours which makes this paleo bread extremely hearty. It pairs very well with an afternoon tea or with some free-range scrambled eggs for a nourishing breakfast.

    Bread is one item that many people find hard to give up. Oprah also talks about how much she loves her bread! I don't feel anyone should have to give up flavor. I enjoy working up recipes that are tasty and healthy so we can all enjoy them while living a long healthy life. A truly high quality of life.

    I incorporated fresh (or home-roasted) nuts and dried fruit into my recipe but you can omit them if preferred. My celiac and paleo family enjoy every bite, including the nuts and fruit surprises in each and every bite. Children love the heartiness of this. The sooner flavors and textures are introduced to a child at the proper age, the more they can get accustomed to a variety as well as the multitude of nutrients in a recipe like this.

    I hope you enjoy!

    Ingredients:

    • ¾ cup almond butter, mixed well
    • 4 large eggs (room temp)
    • ¼ cup tapioca flour
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
    • ¼ cup dried blueberries (sugar-free)
    • ½ cup raisins (I used ¼ cup Golden and ¼ cup Thompson Seedless Raisins)
    • ½ cup cranberries (I find it hard to locate sugar-free)
    • Coconut oil for greasing pan

    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
    2. Place rack in center of oven. Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or oil of choice.
    3. In one bowl add the almond butter and eggs.
    4. Whip on low and then medium and then high, getting a really frothy thick mix.
    5. Lower the speed and add 1 teaspoon cider vinegar.
    6. Increase speed a few more seconds.
    7. In a second bowl combine the tapioca flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Sift well.
    8. Add the second bowl with the dry ingredients to the first bowl with wet ingredients, folding in and mixing (do not over mix).
    9. Add in blueberries, raisins and cranberries.
    10. Pour into greased loaf pan and spread evenly.
    11. Optional: For a sweeter breakfast bread, I will add 3 tablespoons sugar-free raspberry preserves. Swirl in gently along the top of the bread creating a marbled effect.
    12. Immediately place in oven and bake for 25 minutes.
    13. Turn the baking pan around and bake for another 25 minutes.
    14. Test bread by placing a clean knife in center of loaf. If it comes out clean, it is done.
    15. If knife does not come out clean, turn down oven to 325 degrees.
    16. Bake for 5-15 minutes more, checking frequently with the knife test.
    17. Take out when moist but not wet – Paleo breads will continue to “bake” outside the oven.
    18. Homemade baked Paleo breads always taste better the next day as opposed to fresh “wheat” bread hot out of the oven–interesting!
    19. Let cool then remove from pan.

    NOTE: This bread freezes well.

    Great recipe! All too often people include at least one ingredient I can't or won't use, but not this recipe - I approve of all the ingredients and look forward to trying this out very soon. Thank you!

    I am allergic to almonds. Could I use peanut butter instead?

    This recipe comes to us from Karen Sirois.
    Heat oven to 350F and grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
    Mix thoroughly:
    ¾ cup sugar 2 tablespoons soft shortening 1 egg Stir in:
    ¾ cup milk 1 cup mashed overripe bananas Stir in: (heres where it gets personal)
    2¼ to 2½ cups brown rice flour (I started with 2 and ¼,
    added a little more till the consistency looked right to me) 2 tablespoons of xanthan gum 3 and ½ teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt When you have the consistency looking right to you, add ¾ to 1 cup chopped nuts. Bake about 60 minutes (I started checking mine at 50 minutes...when a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean its done). As with all rice flour baked goods, it slices a lot cleaner when its cooled.

    This recipe comes to us from Maria Oostveen. Her comments about it: My goal is to develop an all-purpose flour, that can be used for most baking purposes. I have not tested this version yet on anything else but bread and it compares 100% with regular light wheat bread. The first thing I made with it was the cheese sandwich I so badly craved and it was like heaven!! No comparison with ANY gluten-free bread I tried before, and I tried them all!!!!!!
