Almonds are excellent source of manganese and very helpful to lower the LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. They provide double-barreled protection against Diabetes and Cardiovascular disease. Almond's healthy fats may help you to lose weight as well. Twenty years of dietary samples shows that significant prevention of gallstones if you consume 1 ounce of almonds every day. Here is a simple recipe to make eggless almond butter bread.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 2 cups
Baking powder - 4 teaspoons
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Sugar - 1/3 cup
Toasted slivered almonds - 1/4 cup (optional)
Milk - 1.5 cups (I used 2% milk)
Almond Butter - 1/2 cup (Nature's Promise Organic Almond Butter)
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Combine the dry ingredients and nuts. Add milk to the mix and stir well to avoid lumps.
3. Now add the almond butter.
4. Mix well and continuously stir them.
5. Pour into a 8×4x3 inch loaf pan.
6. Top the batter with some toasted almond slices.
7. Bake for approximately 50 minutes.
8. Have this for breakfast with or without jam. Enjoy!
My Notes:
1) The bread was very moist and sweet enough by itself. The almond butter did have a lot of oil in it, may be that gave the moistness to the bread. You can also substitute almond butter with peanut butter.
2) Adding toasted nuts in the batter gave a very nice crunch. But I wouldn't top the bread with nuts the next time because they get toasted once again and some of the nuts became little bitter. Not topping the bread with almonds will also facilitate easy slicing of the bread.
3) Cool completely before slicing the bread, so that it does not crumble. I would even recommend to 2 to 3 hours of cooling.
