Ingredients
Apples:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 medium-sized sweet-tart apples diced but not peeled
- 4 tablespoons water
Bread:
- Coconut oil spray for the pan
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup milled golden flaxseed
- ½ cup Swerve Confectioners
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee, melted and cooled slightly
- 4 large eggs lightly beaten
- ¼ cup heavy cream or unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon blackstrap molasses
- ¼ teaspoon stevia glycerite
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350Line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly spray the inside with coconut oil.
- For the apples, add all ingredients to a medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet and cook until the apples are softened but not mushy and the liquid is evaporated, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool.
- For the bread, whisk together the almond flour, milled golden flaxseed, Swerve Confectioners, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg in a in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ghee or coconut oil, eggs, cream, water, vanilla, vinegar, molasses, and stevia glycerite.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry all at once and stir to combine, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in the cooled apples.
- Immediately pour the batter into the prepared pan (the batter will be thick), and spread it out evenly.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 65 to 75 minutes. (You can drape a piece of foil over the top if it starts to get too brown before the inside is cooked through.)
- Cool the bread on a wire rack before slicing. Store any leftovers wrapped in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Net Carbs: 6g per serving
- Recipe yields 1 (9 by 5-inch) loaf; cut it into 12 slices and 1 slice is 1 serving.
- A handful of walnuts or pecans is delicious in this bread! Stir them in along with the cooked apple.
- Once this bread is a few days old, I like to toast it before serving.
