Gluten-Free Vegan Almond Bread

This Gluten-Free Vegan Almond Bread is soft, bendy and unbelievably easy to make! It's soft on the inside and crusty on the outside, not dry or crumbly, slices well and is perfect for toast and sandwiches! It's also no-knead, yeast-free, completely free from sugar and oil-free too. It's made in one bowl, requires just 15 minutes to put together before baking and there's no proving time needed.

My Gluten-Free Vegan Bread recipe made using chickpea flour has been so popular that I decided to make a similar recipe for an almond flour bread!

How to make this recipe

Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see the full recipe.

• Mix together all the ingredients in a glass mixing bowl.

Tip: Use a measuring jug to measure out the plant-based milk.

• Transfer the batter into a one-pound loaf tin.

Tip: Line the tin with greased baking paper to make the bread easier to remove after.

• Sprinkle over mixed seeds to decorate, if desired.

• Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes.

• Transfer the loaf to a cooling rack to cool down on completely before packing away to store because otherwise the steam from the warm bread will get trapped and you'll end up with soggy bread, which nobody wants!

How long does this Almond Bread keep for?

• This bread keeps well covered in the fridge for a good few days. If not eaten on the day it's made, it's best toasted before eating.
• If you're freezing it, you can just slice it up and put the whole thing in the freezer. Then when you want to eat it you can just pop the slices of bread in the toaster straight from frozen.

Substitutions you can make

• You can replace the ground almonds with ground walnuts.
• If you're not gluten-free, you can use plain flour instead of gluten-free flour.
• You can replace the almond milk with any other plant-based milk.
• You can replace the apple cider vinegar with lemon juice.
• For a nut-free version, replace the ground almonds with ground sunflower seeds and use a nut-free plant-based milk.

Things you can add to the dough

• Mixed seeds.
• Chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
• Dried fruit such as dried cranberries, raisins, chopped dates etc.
• Chopped chestnuts.
• You can make it more savoury by adding grated garlic and chopped herbs!

Notes

*You can alternatively use almond flour.

**The vinegar is crucial as its acidity reacts with the alkali bicarbonate of soda. If you don't have vinegar you can substitute it with lemon juice.

• If you’ve kept your bread in the oven for the right amount of time and it’s still not done in the centre and the outside is becoming hard/burnt, then I would recommend covering it with a piece of baking paper to prevent the outside from becoming burnt, and and continuing to bake it until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
• Make sure to leave the bread to cool down completely on a cooling rack before packing it away to store because otherwise the steam from the warm bread will get trapped and you’ll end up with soggy bread, which nobody wants!
• To freeze, you can just slice it up and put the whole thing in the freezer. Then when you want to eat it you can just pop the slices of bread in the toaster straight from frozen.
