Can I use roasted nuts or salted nuts?

While roasted and salted nuts can be delicious, I strongly recommend going with raw and unsalted varieties here. During baking, the nuts toast naturally, creating maximum flavor and perfect crunch. Salted nuts could make the loaf too salty, and roasting beforehand can intensify bitterness.

Is this bread gluten-free?

Absolutely! There’s no wheat or traditional flour here—only nuts, seeds, and eggs. Just make sure all your add-ins are also gluten-free if you’re adding anything extra.

What can I use instead of eggs for a vegan version?

If you’d like to experiment with a vegan version, try flax eggs! Mix ground flaxseed with water (about 1 tablespoon flaxseed to 2.5 tablespoons water equals one egg). The loaf will be more delicate, but still tasty.

Why does my bread crumble when I slice it?

If your bread crumbles, it’s likely because it wasn’t fully cool before slicing, or the nuts were chopped too coarsely. Give it time to set, and use a sharp serrated blade for the cleanest cuts.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the fine sea salt. Whisk the eggs and salt together thoroughly to combine and create a uniform mixture.
Add Nuts & Seeds: Add the raw cashews, raw walnuts, raw sliced almonds, raw sunflower seeds, ground flax seeds, and sesame seeds to the egg mixture. Stir very well so all the nuts and seeds are evenly coated with the egg mixture.
Transfer to Pan & Bake: Pour the nut and seed mixture into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the bread is golden and firm to the touch.
Cool Completely: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a rack before slicing. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
Store: Store leftover slices between parchment paper in a sealed container in your freezer for up to 2 months. Toast slices before serving for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use only raw, unsalted nuts and seeds for the best texture and nutritional value.
Ensure the eggs are at room temperature to help with even mixing and baking.
This bread is best sliced thin and toasted before serving.
It stores well in the freezer; freeze individual slices for convenience.
To add extra flavor, you can include a pinch of spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.
