This Gluten Free Low Carb Bread is super easy to make and so delicious! It is moist with a crunchy crust and ready for all your favorite toppings. paleo, dairy free, flourless, and low fodmap.
This bread is amazing and I'm so excited to share it with you! I made it 3 times in 4 days and not one piece went to waste. I have seen other paleo bread recipes, but haven't wanted to try them because I hate getting my blender out and will only do so if I have to. I am all about hand mixing and that is what this bread is. So easy, all mixed in one bowl, no special tools required, made in just minutes.
The texture is perfect. Moist, a little chewy, not eggy or dry at all. It almost has a banana bread-like texture, but different flavor. The Sunflower butter is mild and not overpowering and the perfect base for toppings or even if you wanted to add a little sweetener. It's toasts up wonderfully and is great with some ghee on it.
Nut Free Bread
I am always getting requests for nut free recipes. Using SunButter means we can both enjoy as much as we want. Of course this would be perfect for anyone with a nut allergy or for your child to take to school.
I know I'll get asked if something can be used in place of the collagen and the answer is maybe. I made this 5 times to get it perfect so I didn't test out other ingredients. Let me know if another ingredient works for you.
Baking Powder not Baking Soda
One big mistake, if you want to call it that, was the first time I tried this recipe I used baking soda and the loaf turned green. I knew this was a characteristic of sunflower seed butter, but I thought since I added vinegar it would be okay. It wasn't, but it still tasted delicious. We ate that loaf and I researched how to fix it: baking powder. That sounds easy, but baking powder is not paleo. So I made a paleo version and I promise it's easy and totally worth it for this recipe. If you are just gluten free then find a good one you like, but I will include the baking powder recipe for those that need it. It makes enough for at least 5 loaves.
Low Carb Bread
Since this bread is flourless and uses sunflower seed butter as the base, it is low carb. The full breakdown of nutritional info is in the recipe card.
I think you will love this gluten free low carb bread as much as my family does. It is simple, hearty, and so tasty! It would go perfect along side some soup or toasted up for breakfast. Here are some more breads to try:

Gluten Free Low Carb Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup No Sugar Added SunButter
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ghee, room temperature
- ½ cup grass-fed collagen peptides
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons paleo baking powder (see below)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325° and line a 8.5x4.5 loaf pan with parchment paper. You can also use a 9X5 and the bread will just not be as tall.
- In a medium bowl, combine the SunButter, water, eggs, and ghee. Mix well. The mixture will be sticky and take a little mixing to come together, but it will be smooth after about several stirs.
- Add in the collagen, salt, and baking powder and mix again. Add in the vinegar and stir and then pour into the prepared pan. The dough will be thick and scoop-able. Spread as evenly as possible and bake 35 minutes.
- Serve warm if desired, store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter then in the fridge after 2 days.

Megan says
Can I use baking powder without the cream of tartar? Will that still work ok?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Megan- if you have a baking powder you usually use then that will work fine. Enjoy!
Jessica G. says
I just made this and it came out perfect. I used coconut oil instead of Ghee and Marine Collagen in place of the Bovine. I didn't like the Ghee flavor so I subbed the coconut oil. I was in search of a low fodmap paleo toast and this is perfect for breakfast or a snack. Thank you for sharing and creating this delicious recipe.
Jessica DeMay says
You're welcome, Jessica! Thanks for trying it and so glad you like it!
Alandria says
Hello!
Do I have to use the peptides? Is there another substitute?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Alandria- I haven't tried with any other ingredient, but I guess you could try.
Teri says
Hi, I made your Italian wedding soup,it was delicious. For this paleo bread can I use another kind nut butter like cashew or almond? I will be using a 9x5 pan, do i need to adjust the baking time? Hope you& your husband& little daughter have a blessed thanksgiving?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Teri- I think another nut butter should work. I would suggest cashew as it's the smoothest and mildest. You shouldn't need to adjust the baking time. Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🙂

I just discovered your website and everything looks fantastic!! I already have a bunch of your recipes on my next grocery list. Very recently I have gone to low FODMAP as well. Has it helped your husband? I am hoping this will help with some of my symptoms. Thank you for posting paleo fodmap recipes!! They are hard to find sometimes.
Jessica DeMay says
I'm so glad you found me, Ali! Yes, it has helped him so much. It's the only thing that has managed his stomach aches and cramps. I think you will find a lot of relief from it. It is overwhelming at first, but you will get the hang of it. You're welcome and I hope my learning experience can help you! 🙂
