A couple of weeks ago, I came across this recipe on Living Healthy with Chocolate. It sounded simple and worth a try. (As a note, Adriana posts all sorts of great recipes and her food pictures are fantastic. It’s worth giving her blog a look.)

 

Grain-Free, Nut-Free Spice Bread

 

This last week, I’ve felt the fingers of Fall starting to reach into our Rocky Mountain summer nights, though the days still get quite warm. When I woke up the other morning and it was 45 degrees outside, I decided it was a good morning to bake bread.

 

I rarely meet a recipe I don’t modify in some way, including my own, so I changed the original recipe a bit and wound up with this Grain-Free, Nut-Free Spice Bread Recipe.

 

Here’s how I made it:

 

 

Grain-Free, Nut-Free Spice Bread

1/3 cup Coconut Oil, plus additional for greasing the pan
5 Eggs
½ cup Coconut Flour
½ teaspoon Ground Vanilla Beans (you can read more about them HERE)
½ cup Applesauce
1.5 tablespoons Apple Pie Spice (recipe HERE)

Melt 1/3 cup coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, if your coconut oil is not already liquid (melt it, don’t heat it).

Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until thoroughly combined.

Pour batter into greased, standard-size loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 40-50 minutes, or until it tests done.

Remove from oven and cool before removing from pan.

Cut, serve, and enjoy.

NOTES: If your eggs are cold, your batter will not pour smoothly as your coconut oil will start to solidify. Your bread will taste the same, but it won’t have a smooth crust (it’ll be bumpy, like mine).
