Description
One of my most trusted recipes, this is our family’s Favorite SCD Legal Sandwich Bread! I have made this recipe countless times and each time it creates a delicious loaf perfect for lunchbox sandwiches, French toast, avocado toast and more!
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/2 cup butternut squash- cooked and mashed (can substitute cooked acorn squash or pumpkin)
1/2 cup cashew butter (can substitute almond or any other nut butter or tahini)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup almond flour
3 tbsp coconut flour (or substitute 3/4 cups additional almond flour)
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 – 1/2 tsp salt (I use the lesser amount if the nut butter is salted)
Instructions
To Roast the Squash:
1. Cut the squash down the middle lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp with a spoon.
2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Place squash halves cut side down on the pan.
3. Roast for 30-45 minutes until the flesh is soft and easily pierced with a fork. (The time will depend on how large the squash is)
4. If desired, measure out 1/2 cup portions and freeze unused portions for more bread baking! Or use the remaining squash for Avocado Brownie Bites or Butternut Squash Lentil Pasta.
For the Bread:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line (at least) the bottom of an 8 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Add the eggs, cooked and mashed squash, nut butter, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and honey to a food processor and combine until smooth.
3. Add the remaining ingredients, almond flour, coconut flour, salt and baking soda and process for 20-30 seconds until combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. You will know its done when it is firm to the touch in the middle. The bread will continue to firm up as it cools. **If the top starts to get too brown, loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil.
5. Cool for 20 minutes on the counter before removing from the pan. Run a knife along the sides of the pan to release the bread. Continue to allow the bread to cool completely on a rack.
6. Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
* Please read the post for suggestions on variations. This recipe is VERY forgiving and you can substitute many of the ingredients (if necessary for allergies, etc) with outstanding results!
* To reheat (if desired) simply slice and pop in the toaster.
* Make a double batch and freeze for later use. This bread freezes beautifully.
