1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca, flax, salt and baking soda.

4. Stir the vinegar into eggs.

5. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.

6. Pour batter into a well greased 7.5″ x 3.5″ loaf pan.

*Blanched almond flour (available from Bob’s Red Mill) is made from finely ground, blanched almonds with the outer shell removed. However, for a much cheaper option, you may either purchase almond meal (ground almonds with the shell) or make your own by grinding almonds in a high power blender such as a Vitamix. Blanched almond flour will produce a lighter bread, but the non-blanched almond meal will produce an equally delicious bread.
