How to Make Flourless Bread (Easy and Delicious Recipe!)

This flourless bread is gluten free, grain free, dairy free, egg free, and vegan. It’s quick and easy to make. This high fiber bread recipe is perfect for sandwiches and toasts up nicely.

Key ingredients in this high fiber bread recipe

This recipe calls for psyllium husk powder. Psyllium husk powder is derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. It’s known for its high fiber content and ability to enhance the texture of gluten-free and low-carb baked goods. Psyllium husk powder may be tricky to find at grocery stores, but many health food stores carry it or you can purchase it online.

Almond flour and coconut flour combine to give this high fiber bread a hearty, satisfying texture. This bread requires both types of flour to achieve the right texture so I don’t recommend substituting or omitting either of them.

Ground flaxseed is another high fiber ingredient that improves the texture of this bread. I like to purchase mine already ground, but you can buy whole flaxseed instead and grind it yourself using a blender, food processor, coffee grinder, or spice grinder if you prefer. Flaxseed is available at many grocery stores these days.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and let the dough rest for at least 10 minutes while the oven is preheating. Next you’ll transfer the dough to a medium sized loaf pan (my pan is 9.25 x 5.25 x 2.75 inches) lined with parchment paper.
