Helpful Tips

Use Blanched Almond Flour

Not all almond flour is the same. For this loaf, you want finely ground blanched almond flour, which is made from almonds with the skins removed. It gives you a smoother texture and a lighter color.

If you use almond meal or unblanched almond flour, the loaf will come out denser, grittier, and darker. It will still taste fine, but the texture won’t be nearly as good.

Bob’s Red Mill Super Fine and Anthony’s are two brands that work well here. Just make sure the bag says “blanched” and “super fine” or “finely ground.”

Use Room Temperature Eggs

Pull your eggs out of the fridge about 20-30 minutes before you start. Room temperature eggs mix more evenly with the melted butter and create a smoother batter overall.

If you forget, just place the eggs in a bowl of warm (not hot) water for about 5 minutes. That gets them to room temperature fast without cooking them.

Cold eggs can cause the melted butter to clump up into little solid pieces in the batter, and that means your loaf won’t bake evenly.

Let the Butter Cool Before Mixing

After you melt the butter, give it a couple of minutes to cool down before you whisk it into the eggs. It should still be liquid but not hot to the touch.

If the butter is too hot when it hits the eggs, it will start to cook them. You’ll end up with little scrambled egg bits in your batter, and that will mess up the texture of the whole loaf.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store this gluten free garlic herb loaf?

Let the loaf cool completely, then store it in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. It keeps well at room temperature for about 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

For longer storage, slice the loaf first and freeze individual slices in a freezer-safe bag. That way you can pull out just what you need and toast it straight from frozen.
