This Savory almond flour bread is the recipe I’m reminding you of for this week’s Friday Favorites post. The recipe started like some other popular Kalyn’s Kitchen favorites, with an idea from a reader! A few years ago, a reader named Karen left a comment on my recipe for savory flourless breakfast muffins and said she enjoyed making the muffins as bread. She gave me her cooking temperature and told me to spray the loaf pan well, and I couldn’t wait to try it.
But of course, regular readers will know that I like to experiment with the recipe a bit, and when I tried making this almond flour bread with Kara, we made it a few times, adjusting it each time until we thought the flavor was great. We split the leftovers from our final version and I ate my share for breakfast a few days in a row, toasting the bread and spreading some butter on it.
But even though I really enjoyed the almond flour bread for breakfast, I want to emphasize that this is not just any breakfast bread! I like to lightly toast it and dip it into the soup, which is one of the ways I miss eating plain bread. Try this simple low-carb bread recipe and see what you think!

Which hemp seeds did I use for the almond flour bread?
There are many brands of hemp seeds, all of which add a nutty flavor and nice texture to baked goods. But I am in favor of a brand called Hemp hearts (affiliate link) that’s what I used for this recipe.
What size loaf pan did I use for this recipe?
I used one 9 x 5 inch loaf pan (affiliate link) for this recipe, but I think a slightly smaller size would work.
