One common lament about those deciding to go on the Paleo diet is having to give up bread.

4 Best Flours for Homemade Paleo Bread
1. Almond Flour
As the name suggests, almond flour is made from blanched, finely ground almonds. The flour is relatively high in protein and also contains many other nutrients such as Vitamin E, zinc, magnesium and iron to name a few.
Substituting wheat flour with almond flour can however be tricky as the almond flour is gluten free. This means that if you are adapting a recipe, the consistency of the end product could be quite different. Without the gluten you will lose some elasticity.
The down side is that almond flour, by nature, is at least twice as expensive as traditional cake flour but by making it at home you can cut costs. The added advantage is that you can make ahead of time and your do-it-yourself flour will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months at a time. If you are using the flour from your freezer, simply remove the amount you need. Allow it to stand for 20 minutes and it’s ready to go.
2. Coconut Flour
Coconut flour is made from the dried out pulp of a coconut. It is a delicious gluten free, Paleo suitable flour. It is also a healthy source of fibre, protein and fat.
In terms of baking with coconut flour it is important to realize that adapting recipes can be tricky due to how absorbent coconut flour is. Coconut flour absorbs an incredible amount of liquid, so you can work on using a 1/3rd of the amount of coconut flour in comparison to ordinary flour.
Another fact to be aware of is that most recipes using coconut flour normally contain lot of eggs! This is necessary to bind the ingredients in the recipe together.
Tip: There are hundreds of tried and tested recipes out there, rather follow one of these Paleo coconut bread recipeshere, and avoid expensive an disappointing results.
3. Cassava Flour
When it comes to consistency and texture, cassava flour is the one Paleo friendly flour, which behaves most like wheat flour. This makes it a favorite flour to make Paleo breads with.
With most recipes you will be able to use a 1: 1 replacement ratio, making our lives so much easier!
An added bonus to being gluten free is that this flour also supplies a welcome alternative to people who suffer from nut allergies. It really is a winning flour substitute.
There is a downside to utilizing this flour. It has a high carbohydrate content. If you are monitoring your sugar and carbohydrate intake very closely and are not particularly very active it would be wise to consume products made with this flour, in moderation.
4. Tigernut Flour
Surprisingly, despite the name, this flour is actually not made from a nut but rather a small root. It is therefore highly suitable for those who struggle with nut allergies.
Tigernuts were originally found in Northern Africa and the Mediterranean. If we had to go back a few million years, Tigernuts would have made up about 80% of our Paleo diet.
Tigernuts not only contain fibre, iron and potassium but also act as a functional food, a prebiotic (fuel for the good bacteria in your gut to thrive).
A second advantage is that this flour can be used in a 1:1 ratio when adapting your favorite bread recipe.

What did I do wrong? Made the grain free/vegan bread and it just crumbles, no chance of cutting it. How long do you have to beat before it comes together in a “firm ball”. That never occurred and I put it into the pan at the semi-firm stage, after beating what seemed like forever, and it just falls apart.
Reply
Faye,
I’m so sorry your bread crumbles, that’s so disappointing. That your dough didn’t become a firm ball indicates that a measurement might have been off. My best recommendations for baking grain-free include having all ingredients at room temperature, have the oven preheated, to measure everything accurately and to notice if things are happening the way they are supposed to, ie.: your dough is not firm. A soft dough would need you to add more flour to it, although if the dough is too soft because too much milk or fat was added, it will throw off the balance of everything else. Baking is very precise in this way, try it again and keep me posted on the outcome.

Kathy,
As with all of your food choices, you have to decide. Read the label and check the ingredients, is it a grain-free paleo bread? If so, YAY, if not, and you are wanting to eat strict paleo, make one of the recipes in this post, you won’t be disappointed.

I just made the best no-grain banana bread ever–in the microwave!!! Ten minutes of anticipation is a whole lot easier to tolerate than an hour, just sayin’…
Here is the recipe if you’d like to make a healthy treat:
Ingredients
1/3 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons egg whites (you can use a whisked egg instead if you’d like)
2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
1 whole over-ripe (really good and brown) banana
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 package of Stevia (the small single-serving ones like for coffee)
Instructions
Grease a coffee mug with coconut oil.
Mix and mash together all the ingredients with a fork in a bowl.
Pour mixture into mug.
Microwave for 3 minutes on high. Check it. Cook in 30 second intervals until mostly set (mine looked a tiny bit mushy on top after 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Cover with a cutting board or plate and turn upside down leaving the hot mug over the bread.
Cool for 5-10 minutes.
Pop out of mug gently and slice.
1/2 of the “loaf” is about 310 calories of healthy fat, protein, and fruit.Reply
Would it be horrible to mix up the ingredients and freeze it to bake later? I can go on and on about how busy I am and blah blah blah, really I’m just lazy and know I may not make it if it’s not super convenient. #thestruggle These all look great!
Reply
Kelsey,
It probably wouldn’t be horrible, but you’d have to plan ahead and let it defrost and bake it, which only sounds like more work…so I am going to recommend,the single serve bread and the microwave bread. Those are recipes that you can whip up and cook in no time. Otherwise make the recipes, the bread and then freeze it. Let me know what you do.

When you cook breads with the Coconut flour does it come out w/ the coconut taste?
I am no fan of coconut but I would love to have more recipe options so I am interested in trying the ones made with the coconut as the alternate but am scared to try it. Is anyone else not a coconut fan that can weigh in?
Reply
Kelly,
Breads and other foods made with coconut, will have a coconut flavor and some added sweetness. I really like coconut and barely notice it, especially in recipes with seasonings. Maybe give the garlic breadsticks a try? They have lots of herbs and garlic and are very good. Let me know if you try them.

You can use equal parts of flax and water, or chia too!

Kristene,
You can use many different things to replace eggs, depending on your tastes and the recipe:
ground flax or chia combined with equal parts water (1tablespoon ea, is equal to 1 egg)
pureed apples, prunes, or bananas or nut butters.
Hope these suggestions help, let me know what you try and how it works.

I REALLY need to find a wheat and lactose free recipe for a curry accompaniment , i.e. nan , Chapati etc.
I can make a great curry, but the bread aspect is a really causing a big problem. Nan has yogurt, therefore lactose etc.I know I’m not talking Paleo with this (this is a medical thing), but maybe somebody out there has a recipe that qualifies as Paleo , gluten and lactose free.
I would be grateful for any ideas / recipes. (and it would make my wife happy – which as any man knows, is a very good thing:) )

Loch,
Have you tried the flatbread recipe from this post? It’s really good, while the recipe does call for butter (you can use ghee, if that works for your dietary needs) or coconut oil.
Let me know if you try it and how it works out.
Reply
I am also curious if I can substitute the coconut flour for something else like tapioca or arrowroot? I don’t mind if for the sweeter breads but i don’t want to taste in in the “regular, everyday” bread.
Reply
Jamie,
You can adjust flours in recipes, but you’ll have to be open to experimenting. When you substitute coconut flour, you’ll want to adjust the quantity of the replacement flour and add just a bit more fat. Or if you don’t like experimenting, you can look for recipes that do not contain coconut flour. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me. I have a nonverbal two-year-old son. We are trying to move him off of grains completely, but the only thing I can get him to eat is an almond butter and honey sandwich. Just about every type of grain free bread I’ve tried he has discarded. I’m worried that he is so addicted to bread that it is limiting his world, not only are there different types of foods that he’s missing out on, but also his consumption of gluten may be affecting his development.
I’ve tried withholding, and he just chooses not to eat anything at all. Has anyone gone through this successfully?Reply
Hello, I had similar problem (not as drastic) with my son. If the bread you are giving him is gluten free he is getting no gluten. Try putting a piece of cheese with a dab of honey on his plate and see if the picks it up eventually. Don’t mention anything different. Also a very thin slice of apple or banana with almond butter on it. Just Introduce different things but about the same size and coloring. Next He needs to be on a protein shake with hidden kale in it. You must start slow with almond milk and ice and honey. See if he will drink it with a straw? If you can continue adding other things– he will pick it up eventually. Also use behavior modification by telling him if he tries the shake ( one sip at first) you will let him watch a favorite show or movie. He likes these flavors already. Good Luck.

Wendy, I’m just a grandma, who has not experienced your issues, but I wonder what else your son eats. does he eat apple sauce? try making a bread with coconut flour, eggs and let him add apple sauce to it. the apple sauce will provide sweetness, the coconut flour is said to offer more of a normal bread consistency, the eggs bind the coconut flour together. remember that coconut flour is VERY absorbent. you only need a little. I’m going to suggest microwave muffins in a cup so you don’t have to make so much only to have him reject it. here is a sample recipe for you to try.
1 egg beaten
1 Tablespoon of coconut flour
one tsp of almond butter or regular butter or coconut oil
1 tsp of grain free baking powder
1 packet of stevia or one tsp of honey.
1/8 tsp of salt, which can be omitted for one so young but I like it.
2 Tbsp of apple sauce
Cinnamon if desired.
mix together the dry ingredients
mix the wet ingredients beating til well mixed. combine and pur into a mug sprayed with pam or greased with coconut oil. bake in the microwave for 1-2 minutes til a toothpick comes out clean. This recipe is very similar to a one minute muffin but has salt, applesauce and coconut oil added for moistness. if you want it firmer, leave out the coconut oil since the apple sauce is meant to be a draw for you son. or cut back on the apple sauce. as created the recipe will be a moist muffin which can be sliced cross wise into rounds and topped with your choice of toppings. to make a sandwich you might have to make it firmer or cool it in the fridge to make the slices thinner. this recipe will also make about three 4 inch pancakes. if fried in coconut oil.Reply
forgot to say, let the mixture sit for a minute before cooking so the coconut flour absorbs some of the moisture. I think it helps the texture.
Reply
Wendy,
This must be so challenging and stressful for you, but know that young children can be very picky eaters. Typically young children like very bland, slightly sweet tasting foods, so I can see why he would like an almond butter and honey sandwich. If you can find a grain free bread that looks like the bread he likes to eat, use one slice of regular and one slice of grain-free (keeping the grain free on the bottom). And/or as he is resistant to grain free bread at this time, maybe focus on introducing other foods that he may enjoy such as cucumber, red pepper or apple slices, small pieces of cooked chicken or sweet potato and serve these with a side of almond butter to dip them into. Try introducing grain free crackers, cookies or muffins as well as paleo smoothies (into which you can sneak some greens), keep the portions small and offer him variety alongside his sandwich. He may also like the entire routine of meals and may enjoy the same meal at the kitchen table or in his highchair, so maybe packing a picnic and eating at the park might help him to try some new flavors. I hope these suggestions help, keep us posted on how things go.

I’m not a believer in vegan or Paleo diets. I believe in a healthy diet that leans somewhat in the vegetarian direction and I just became convinced of the need to eliminate wheat from my diet. I applaud this website and the author for providing me with the bread alternatives I was looking for. I also appreciated the open eclectic attitude of the author in including some items recommended by vegans. Still, I believe red meat should be avoided . Thank You.
Reply
Unfortunately I think our concept of a healthy diet has been perpetrated upon us by big Pharma.
I think red meat from grain fed cattle and sheep IS bad for us . These animals were designed to eat grass. We were designed to eat meat, fat, vegetables , a few seeds and a little seasonal fruit. But never any kind of grain. ! When Man began farming and grain consumption , so began disease and illness. Today our food supply is being contaminated by Factory farming and GMOs.

Linda,
There has been so much nutrition and dietary mis-information in the past 100 years, it’s very confusing to sort it all out. I’m thankful I found Paleo! And as paleo shoppers, we know to avoid the center of the market and stick to the outside loop which is where we find the lean proteins, the nuts, seeds, greens, vegetables and fruits. It not only saves us time when we shop, it keeps us healthy.
Reply
Jordan,
I’m so glad that you found this post and that you can enjoy some grain-free bread.
Paleo offers a base structure of foods that are easily digestible for our bodies based on our genetics, but each of us can make decisions about what we eat based on our beliefs. I absolutely agree with you, because I believe in a healthy diet as well! Let me know which of these recipes is your favorite.Reply
I have a daughter who has the same basic problem with her 5 year old son…not eating what’s good for him. If you’ll give me your email address, I’ll send that on to her, and she can email you.
