Low Carb Irish Soda Bread (Gluten Free)

A quick, light & delicious bread!

Ingredients: 

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup chia seeds

3 eggs

1 cup almond flour

1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon Lakanto Baking Sweetener** (or sweetener of choice)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Grind the chia seeds in a mortar & pestle or in a coffee bean grinder. In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, vinegar, ground chia seeds and eggs. Set aside and let stand for 10 minutes. 

In a small bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and sweetener. Stir into the chia seed mixture to form a dough. Turn the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form into a round or oval loaf. 

Unbaked loaf

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with butter. Makes 6 servings. 

**Lakanto Baking Sweetener has a finer texture than the regular Classic Sweetener. If you do not have the Baking Sweetener in your pantry, you can process the Classic Sweetener in a food processor, to create a finer texture.
