Grain Free LSA Paleo Loaf

01 February 2016

Who doesn’t love bread right?! Bread is definitely one of the hardest things to keep away from. Yes we know normal bread is refined and full of nasties we don’t want to be ingesting. That sluggish feeling after eating a lot of bread is never fun, but neither is having to stay away from bread altogether! So here is a recipe for all you bread lovers out there (myself included). This loaf is so delicious and full of flavour! I enjoy making this every so often and it keeps beautifully in the fridge for a full week. I like to enjoy this loaf toasted, topped with scrambled eggs or generously spread with some macadamia nut butter and freshly cut strawberries. You can also use this fabulously healthy loaf to make work or school lunch sandwiches. Low GI, rich in healthy fats, low in carbs and bursting with flavour, this is the perfect healthy response to traditional bread

Storage: After baking, allow to sit on the counter overnight to cool, then wrap it in a paper towel, put it into a zip lock plastic bag and refrigerate. Keeps for 1 week.
