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
- 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.

Hi, mine comes out crumbly, can’t even slice it. I used oat flour and almond flour. Any suggestions?
Rhian Williams
Sorry to hear that - for the gluten-free flour blend, you have to use a shop-bought gluten-free flour blend made using rice flour, potato starch etc. Or you can use 140g white rice flour and 10g tapioca flour. Hope that helps!

Sounds familiar. I used Almond Flour and Pecan Flour and the load never rose higher than its in-the-pan height.
I thought about adding either Vital Wheat Gluten or Psyllium husk (ground), but decided against them for my first attempt.
It could be cut, but I wouldn't make any type of sandwich with it. Probably good for Almond butter etc. Will see tomorrow.
But thanks for having an Almond flour bread recipe without eggs!
thanks and stay safe,

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that. What type of gluten-free flour did you use?
Isabel
Hi! 🙂 Would substituting the vegan milk with water work?
Thanks!
Rhian Williams
Yes!

My batter came out very runny. Never cooked all the way through. I used rice milk. Also used an air fryer.

This is great! Finally a good gluten free bread recipe! Tastes like real, eli ious bread! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
For the gluten free flour i just used what i had in the house...a mix of mostly rice flour, a little oatmeal flour, a little tapioca flour and one spoon of coconut flour.
Note: I just left it in the oven after i turned the oven off so it would dry out a bit more in the center
