 Inside: My favorite lectin free bread with walnuts recipe!

So here’s the thing about most grain free breads – they aren’t usually very good. Lectin free bread in general tends to be on the dry, crumbly, “eggy” side. And sometimes – you just want a soft, fluffy, flavorful slice of bread.

Or maybe something you can toast and dip into yolky eggs…..mmmm yolky eggs.

This recipe for walnut lectin free bread has a few steps but the resulting bread is so worth the effort!

I’ve found you can easily enhance the bread with spices depending on how you plan on using the bread. It’s delicious as is, but sometimes I will add in 2 teaspoons of caraway seeds if I want a German rye flavor for sandwiches. Or some Italian seasoning if I plan to to dip in some good Tuscan oil or toast up for garlic keto bread.

The opportunities are endless so have fun experimenting and make the recipe your own.

Walnut Lectin Free Bread

A soft, flavorful and fluffy lectin free bread is perfect anytime you're craving a slice!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 12 slices

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup walnut butter
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbl chia seeds (or sub whole flax seeds)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbl Lakanto maple flavored syrup (You can sub sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tbl caraway seeds or dried herbs of choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper (no need if using a silicone loaf pan)

  3. To make walnut butter: Place 1 rounded cup of walnuts in a food processor or high quality blender. Blend, scraping sides as needed, for 4-5 minutes until well blended and creamy. 

  4. In a glass bowl, mix together all ingredients. 

  5. Pour batter into lined loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until center is set. 

  6. Make sure to fully cool loaf before inverting onto a cutting board and slicing.

This walnut lectin free bread is SO delicious that I make it weekly.

It’s great with a schmear of cream cheese and some Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel seasoning!  Or you could pair it with my kale and sweet potato hash.

I often use this lectin free bread to round out a nice cheese board:

Or for some homemade sandwiches – egg salad seems to be a family favorite:

 

What I used:

Lakanto Maple Flavored syrup  – this monkfruit sweetener is a great sugar alternative!

Silicone loaf pan – this is a great eco friendly pan! Silcone pans are great to prevent breads from sticking to them after cooking.

Kirkland Walnuts – I like to buy it by the big bag to get a great deal and then I store in the fridge to keep the nuts as fresh as possible.

    I’ll admit I am a carb queen- never met a bread I didn’t like. This recipe really has be intrigued. I have a friend whose family makes all kinds of nut flours so I’ll definitely give this a try.

      Yes! It’s really common to bake with nut flours in Europe. My husband’s family is from Munich and they make some awesome tortes with nut flours. Lots of great recipes to play around with.

    That’s a great idea to put some of the bread out with a cheese board. Sounds like a tasty recipe that could be used for breakfast or any other time of the day.

    I had my doubts about this recipe because I have the palate of a five year old, so I thought this would be waaay too healthy tasting for my liking, but it was delicious! After just recently starting a gluten free diet for my autoimmune illnesses, I was worried I wouldn’t find a bread that would be soft, tasty and easy to make. Thank you, @ms_lechtinfreefoodie!

    This is the best Keto bread recipe I’ve made to date. We really struggled in a house with 5 kids to find a bread alternative. This has by far been the best tasting and the kids ate it right up. I need to get a slime bread pan as it made for a rather thin loaf, but otherwise it was delicious.

    Hello!! Wondering with the eggs. Do you use eggs that come from a chicken that has been fed no grains ? Struggling to find this as an option in New Zealand.

      We do use pastured eggs – we’re very fortunate to have a local farm that provides these to us at a reasonable cost. If you are following Plant Paradox, Dr. Gundry does say that it can be hard to find pastured eggs, and that omega 3 eggs are a good alternative.

    I made this bread twice now. I like the flavor, however, I wish it were fluffier. I beat the eggs prior, to give some volume but it did not seem to help. You said you use a 9×5 pan but it seems to be thin when it is done. Have you tried smaller pans or maybe doubling the batch? Also, what role does the sweetener add besides sweetness? I have left it out both times to cut back on Carb count.

      Thank you so much for trying my recipe! The sweetener is there to add to the flavor to mimic whole wheat bread, but it is completely fine to leave it out. Unlike traditional wheat breads, where sugar or honey is added to help the yeast, in this recipe it’s just a flavor note.

      I agree that it’s really annoying how thin non-gluten baked good turn out compared to their wheat alternatives.

      I’ve heard there are some loaf pans that are smaller – here’s one that might work? https://amzn.to/2MHgChj

      Hello!
      Dr. Gundry has approved some products that contain chia seeds, like the Siete Brand chips, so it’s a bit of a gray area. Some people are sensitive to Chia seeds, which is why I have a great substitute for them in the recipe above. Flax seeds works well in this recipe.

    Hi, I’m new to Dr Grundy’s eating plan. Thanks for making a bread recipe that I can eat. I’m dealing with leaky gut issues and people have said this is the diet to use. I have one question regarding the walnuts. Should I be concerned about whether or not the walnuts are organic? Articles I read say conventional walnuts have so many synthetic pesticides. Although organic walnuts like other organic crops may have more natural pesticides. Should I be concerned?

      Hi Mike,

      I think in general, if you can find and afford organic, it’s a good choice. I’m not up to date on the research specifically regarding walnuts, so I can’t comment on that. I personally use conventional walnuts – from Costco (at a good price) but I also limit how many baked goods – breads, cookies, muffins, etc that I eat, so I’m not overly concerned. These things are great when you are beginning the diet and transitioning from a standard diet to a plant paradox one, but eventually you’ll find yourself craving more fresh vegetables and greens. Hope that helps! So excited that you are trying this plan and I hope it helps you on your path to a healed gut.

    I made this recipe once, or one like it, from one of Gundry’s books. I found it too sweet to use for toast or sandwiches. Is the sweetener necessary for it to rise or can it be omitted? Thanks! P.S. And happy to find your site. Up to until now, I have only found one other nice site devoted to lectin free recipes. Glad you are here!

      Thank you for the kind words! The sweetener is only for flavor, it doesn’t help the bread to rise, so you’re safe to omit it.

    Delicious bread. I’ve made it 3 ways.. just as-is, then added 1/3rd cup chopped walnuts and the 3rd way was with chopped walnuts and dried figs. Great all ways. I also have used all the eggs as-is which is a very wet batter that I pour into my pan and the other I tried had 2 flax eggs and 2 regular eggs. All came out really great. They are denser and shorter loads but I enjoy it all these ways. I had to bake for less time each time (30 mins only) in my glass pan. Tks for the recipe.
