ALMOND VANILLA BEAN LOAF

I found this idea in my Practical Paleo book and was inspired to try something similar with some modifications. I love vanilla and almonds, what better a combination! It can be eaten in the morning ( its almost all egg) or for a snack or even desert!

INGREDIENTS: ( Makes 1 small 9 x 9 pan)

- 3 Free run eggs

- 1 TSP vanilla extract

- Seeds from 1/4 vanilla bean pod

- 1 TBS Raw un pasteurized honey

- 1 TBS Coconut oil

- 2 TBS Coconut milk ( try to just use the thick cream)

- 2 TBS coconut flour

- Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg

- Pinch of salt

- 1/4 TSP baking soda

- 2 TBS sliced almonds

DIRECTIONS:

-Preheat oven to 325 Degrees F

- In a large bowl whisk eggs, honey , vanilla extract & seeds, coconut oil & milk.

- Add in coconut flour and spices, continue to whisk until smooth

- Line a small baking pan with parchment paper 9x9 or 6x6 ( for thicker loaf) 

- Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, keep on eye on it so it doesn't get crispy!

SERVING OPTIONS:

- Serve hot with fresh butter, coconut oil , or almond butter

- Fresh berries or banana

- You can also try making a berry compote, I made a blackberry one and poured it on top with almond butter, so good!
