Easy Paleo & Keto Seed and Nut Bread Recipe — All Posts Healing Harvest Homestead (2024)

Inside: Find an amazing recipe for delicious, dense seed and nut bread that is keto and paleo compliant! Since I’m back on a keto plan, I thought I’d brush this one off and update it for you. Enjoy! I know you’ll love this bread, whether you’re on a special plan or not.

For the past 20 days, Mr. V. and I have been on a “lifestyle change.” This is a fun euphemism for “diet.” We’ve been eating a modified paleo-keto plan with calorie restriction and intermittent fasting thrown in. I’m super pleased to say: It’s working! But honestly? I REALLY miss my bread.

Bread full of gluten. Bread full of carbs and starches. Delicious bread. Sweet bread. Sourdough bread….ALL the breads! The breads I LOVE to make (see the list at the end of the article) which are not only EASY but frankly totally awesome….are no more in our home. At least for the time being.

Well, I caved.

I just had to have bread of some type.

I just couldn’t stand it any more, and I went searching for a bread alternative that wasn’t made with almond flour. I’m still looking for a recipe I love made with this flour, and so far, I have been unsuccessful.

Well, I found several seed bread recipes…. But: SEEDS?

Bread made from NUTS?

Evidently, it’s a real thing!

Here is my version, and although my recipe is inspired by several others I’ve found, I would have to say the one adapted most closely came from Nordic Food Living, a surprisingly refreshing cooking site. Here is my highly adapted version, and I’ve now made it several times, with a few variations, and it has turned out amazingly well EVERY time!

Easy Paleo & Keto Nut and Seed Bread Recipe

This bread is SO simple to make. I almost cringe at not having it be more complex to warrant an actual blog post, it’s that easy to make.

But here it is anyway, and I just couldn’t NOT, in good conscience, share it with you. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup almonds

1/2 cup walnuts

1/2 cup flax seeds

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

5 large eggs

scant 1/2 cup olive oil

Seasonings of choice…I used a homemade savory sage seasoning (found in the Confident Herbal Tribe materials) and the Frontier Coop’s Turmeric Twist: Savory Blend

Any herbal blend will also do well, like my Basil Finishing Salt. I used a few pinches of it, and a little sage as well. It was perfect served with our Immune Boosting Soup!

NOTE: I bought my nuts and seeds in bulk at a local WinCo. You can also find bulk nuts and seeds at Sprouts Markets, Whole Foods, Huckleberry’s Markets, and I’m sure MANY more around the country. You can also find them on Amazon.

Directions:

1) Set oven to 325 degrees

2) Measure and mix all nuts and seeds together. I thought about crushing them a bit, but then decided not to bother. I’m glad I didn’t. The bread holds together perfectly with whole nuts and seeds!

3) Beat the eggs, then pour them into the bowl with the nuts and seeds

4) Add the olive oil and spices

5) Stir well. I let mine sit a few minutes, and this thickens it just a bit because of the nature of the flax seeds.

6) Using a bread pan (next time I will try this recipe on a cookie sheet), either butter the pan really well or do what I did and line it with some parchment paper.

NOTE: I love baking with parchment paper because the mess is minimal!

7) Bake for about an hour. Remove. Let cool completely.

Final Thoughts on Delicious Seed & Nut Paleo and Keto Friendly Bread

Even if you’re not on the keto or paleo “lifestyle” diet, you are still going to just love this bread. Everyone I’ve had try it has loved it too. The first time I made it, I’m ashamed to say that Mr. V. and I ate the whole loaf in one day.

Then we realized that kind of defeats the purpose of being on a “lifestyle” change, right?

Seriously, though.

Diets stink. And being able to eat something tasty that resembles something else you are used to eating….indeed, even feel a little entitled to eat after all….is such an absolute blessing and a wonder.

I hope you’ll give this bread a try if you are on a plan similar to ours that doesn’t allow bread. Unfortunately, if you are vegan, this bread does contain eggs, but I hear there is something called a “flax egg” that maybe you could substitute? I’ve not looked into this (yet).
