Ingredients

For the Bread:

1 cup almond flour (or another gluten-free flour alternative)

1/2 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats if needed)

2 large eggs

1 tsp baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)

1/4 tsp salt

Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor

For Baking:

1 heat-safe glass jar (such as a mason jar or small oven-safe container)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure your jar is oven-safe, or you can use a small loaf pan or ramekin if you’re unsure.
Mix the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Add the eggs and mix well to form a thick batter. Optionally, add cinnamon or vanilla extract.
Prepare the Jar:
Grease the jar lightly with cooking spray or melted coconut oil to prevent sticking. Spoon the batter into the jar, filling it about 3/4 full to allow space for the bread to rise.
Bake the Bread:
Place the jar on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 15–20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool slightly before unmolding or slicing directly in the jar. Serve warm with butter, avocado, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Variations:

Add-ins: Stir in chopped nuts, seeds, or shredded vegetables like zucchini for added texture and nutrients.
Flavor Adjustments: Make it sweet with a mashed banana or a drizzle of honey (if not avoiding sugar), or go savory with herbs like rosemary or thyme.
Flour Alternatives: Swap almond flour for coconut flour or oat flour. If using coconut flour, adjust the liquid content as it absorbs more moisture.

Storage/Reheating:

Storage: Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or a toaster oven for a quick warm-up.
