Ingredients
- 150 g (1 ¼ cup) walnuts (or use shop-bought ground walnuts)
- 150 g (1 ¼ cup) gluten-free flour blend (or sub plain flour if not gluten-free)
- 2 heaped teaspoons baking powder (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
- 230 ml (1 cup) unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
To decorate (optional):
- Mixed seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
Place the walnuts in a food processor and pulse briefly until you get a fine powder (be careful not to blend too much, otherwise you’ll end up making walnut butter!)
Transfer the ground walnuts into a large bowl
Add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and mix well
Add the milk and vinegar and mix again
Transfer the mixture to a loaf tin (I used a one-pound loaf tin) lined with greased baking paper
Scatter over mixed seeds to decorate, if desired
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean
Leave to cool on a wire rack before putting away to store
Keeps well in the fridge for up to a few days
Notes
Top tips
- If you’ve kept your bread in the oven for the right amount of time and it’s still not done in the centre and the outside is becoming hard/burnt, then I would recommend covering it with a piece of baking paper to prevent the outside from becoming burnt, and and continuing to bake it until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Make sure to leave the bread to cool down completely on acooling rackbefore packing it away to store because otherwise the steam from the warm bread will get trapped and you’ll end up with soggy bread, which nobody wants!

If I double this recipe to make a larger loaf, do I just double the cooking time? It’s delicious, especially when fresh.Reply

Hi! Yes increase the cooking time, but doubling may be too much! I'd recommend cooking for longer but to check every 10 minutes or so to make sure it's not burning, and to bake until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Hiya,
So made this for my husband who's a coeliac - followed recipe to the letter but one inch at the bottom just wouldn't cook, kept putting it back in the oven but still the same, not sure what went wrong any ideas?
Ta!

Hi - sorry to hear that! What type of gluten-free flour did you use?
Sharon Franklin
If I wanted to use almond flour and add in some chopped nuts and seeds would I need to alter the amount of flour or should I just adjust the liquid amount?

Rhian Williams
Hi - would you be using the almond flour in place of the walnut flour, or in place of the gluten-free flour?
Mickayla
