I guess you could call this “Many Nut Bread”… quick, delicious, and loaded with protein from the many nuts buried within (compared with grain breads anyway), nut flour options are just as easy, more tasty, and definitely more nutrient dense than grain flours.
No almond flour on hand? Just get out your Magic Bullet, some raw nuts (in this case almonds) and in seconds you have your own, fresh, nut flour. Technically almonds are not a nut, they are a seed—and there are a bunch of other seeds and nuts in this bread—loaded with vitamins and minerals, almonds have nutritional benefits for a number of areas of the body including heart health, cholesterol balance, weight control, blood sugar balance, and they provide a source of long-lasting energy.
