Any healing or weight loss diet based on real food is likely going to cause you to cut wheat and grains from your diet. GAPS is no exception.
However, with a small child in the house and a "meat and potatoes" kind of husband, I needed to find something that would help us ease the transition from "standard American eating" to GAPS.
Normally, I make einkorn sandwich bread from scratch, so we were already used to homemade bread versus store bought - which was a blessing!
We actually found that this almond flour bread recipe had a very similar texture to the homemade einkorn bread we were used to eating! It did crumble a little more easily, but if you toast it first, it stays together perfectly for sandwiches!
Almond Flour Bread Recipe
With just a few ingredients, this paleo bread is super easy to throw together! We make about 2 loaves a week max during transition, then cut back to maybe 2 per month after that.
It has really helped our son with converting to Full GAPS to be able to have this bread with grass-fed butter and some fruit in the morning!

Almond Flour Bread FAQ
Can you make this recipe without a food processor?
Yes! I have just found that it's a little fluffier and not as dense when you make it with the food processor. However, you can mix it by hand or in a mixer, if needed.
Can I use something other than eggs?
While I have not tried it, you can make gelatin eggs or flax eggs as a replacement and try that instead.
How do I store this almond bread?
We store it on the counter at room temperature for up to 5 days. Wrap it in a towel to keep it from getting hard, but that's it!
How long does it last?
This almond bread will last at room temperature for about 5 days, depending on the humidity level. In the fridge it will last for about 10 days, and it will freeze for about 6 months!
How to I freeze and thaw this almond bread?
To freeze, simply place in a freezer save container and place in the freezer for up to 6 months. To thaw, bring it to room temperature slowly on the counter.
If you are going to eat it right away (individual muffins or slices), you can place it on a tray in the oven at 350° for about 15 minutes to warm and thaw.

Do I melt the butter and pour it in?
Victoria says
Hi Madeleine! I use room temp butter, but you can also melt it instead, if you prefer :-)
Js says
Can this be made in the bread machine?
Victoria says
Hi there, I have not tried it, but I wouldn’t think so. It’s best made in the oven. There is no rise time, so it wouldn’t need the bread machine.
