Today is day 1 of my Paleo Diet, for the next while I’m going to try out different recipes and of course, test whether this could be a permanent lifestyle for me.
As I mentioned before in my blog, 1 of my main concerns was lunch, since bread is not allowed on the diet. Include the fact that I am a vegetarian, and the challenge just got a bit more interesting. I do eat fish though, so options are a bit broader.
My first Paleo bread bake attempt was not quite successful, so I started looking around for more recipes to try out.
On fastpaleo.com I found another one, which is described below:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 cup golden flaxseed meal
1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
5 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil (i used olive oil)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (i used regular vinegar)
Place almond flour, coconut flour, flax, salt and baking soda in a food processor.
Pulse ingredients together.
Pulse in eggs, oil, honey and vinegar.
Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350° for 30 minutes (or 180 °C)
Cool and serve.
The result?
Unfortunately, the picture showed a more promising result, but my bread did not come out as high risen. Maybe I used the wrong loaf pan (silicone loaf pan) and was my loaf pan too big.
Also I find the smell a bit strange and quite strong, but perhaps that could come from the olive oil I used instead of the coconut oil, or the different vinegar.
The taste was a bit on the sweet side, since I had my lunch with tuna, a boiled egg, tomato & some mixed salad. It was quite filling, plus that I wasn’t even that hungry yet, because I had Paleo pancakes for breakfast.
Furthermore, I brought some almonds, raisins an orange & apple to work as a snack.
To be continued……
