Vanilla-almond sponge bread

Breakfast

January 4, 2023

If you’re looking for a basic morning bread replacement, this might be for you! Eat it plain, fresh out of the oven, or toast it with some extra butter and cinnamon. You can also use it to make a grain-free French toast. This pan-bread can also be flavored easily with the juice and zest of a lemon or orange.

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

40 minutes

6 servings

6 eggs

Seeds from 1/4 pod of vanilla bean

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk

1/4 cup coconut flour

Pinch of nutmeg

Pinch of sea salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons sliced almonds

SERVE IT UP

With berries, sliced bananas, or some almond butter smeared on top.

CHANGE IT UP

Try making this a more savory loaf by adding some Rosemary or Sage Salt to the mixture—about 1 teaspoon should do the trick!
