Rosemary & Thyme Loaf

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups almond meal
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp fine salt
• 4 large eggs (or 5 small)
• 1½  tbsp Coconut Nectar
• 1½  tbsp Coconut Oil
• 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, pulled of stem
• 2 tsp fresh rosemary, pulled off stem, finely chopped
• Additional herbs are optional

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and blend with a whisk for one minute, until very well combined.  Add the wet ingredients and mix until well combined, and smooth as can be, about 1 minute. Once base is mixed well, add the fresh herbs. Stir in herbs, mix by hand for another 20-30 seconds, until herb mix is evenly distributed.
2. The dough will be like a thick batter but should be thin enough that it wouldn’t roll into a ball. Pour dough mix into a well-greased bread pan.  It will come up to less than halfway, and that is normal.
3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Let cool in the pan before serving.
