my fellow o-chem nerds will appreciate this humor haha
Well, benzene rings and Friedel-Crafts acylations have destroyed my brain. I don’t think I can say it enough– when this “semester of hell” is over, I think I’m gonna be the happiest person on planet earth. My days have gotten SO monotonous and lame. Take this weekend for instance:
- studied
- wrote pre-labs and watched lecture podcasts
- moved out of my apartment on Saturday
- moved back into my room (until August when I transfer to corpus christi)
- food prep
- caught up on much needed sleepppppp
Lame-ooooooooooooo
SOOO since I’m going to be commuting ON TOP of studying 24/7, I may be even more MIA from blog land 
I may not be commenting as much, but just know I’m reading and keeping up to date on all of y’all’s epic adventures! 
BUT enough with the negativity! It’s a new week and I’m one step closer to being done!

Last Wednesday, I gave a sneak peek to some “Paleo” bread I concocted when it made a cameo in this picture:
oh hi arthur!
Well, today I shall be sharing that recipe!!
Warning: this is the best, most amazing, super delicious, oober fantastic paleo bread you will ever put your lips on. You’ll swear magical elves put a spell on your tongue. AND it will make your kitchen smell like a pioneer woman’s bakery and ignite your nostrils in a vortex of fiery deliciousness.
High Fiber Almond Flour Bread
(Grain Free, Paleo)
Ingredients:
3/4 cup almond flour/meal
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
4 tsp. psyllium husk
3 whole eggs
1 egg white
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350*F
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and then add in the wet. You may have to add water to the dough if it gets too thick.
With a spatula, pour dough into a greased loaf pan or cake pan, totally your preference. (I made 2 batches over the weekend and thought I’d have variety with different shapes)
*If using the loaf pan– bake for 36-37 minutes.
*If using the cake pan– bake for 20 minutes.
Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!
It tastes nutty, but not in an overpowering way. It’s reminiscient of good ol’ fashioned homebaked bread and pairs SUPER well with cashew or sunflower seed butter! I haven’t tried it with meat (like a regular sandwich) but the mild flavor would probably work just fine. And no worries to those of you out there worried about a coconut flavor– you can’t taste it at all! My dad approves and he is coconut’s #1 enemy haha
Another added bonus?? All that psyllium sure helps in the digestive depot if you catch my drift 
hefty slice size from the cake pan version

Well I guess that’s all from me! After today, only 15 class days remain…but who’s counting?! haha
Have a great week!
That looks so yummy! Guess what this girl will be making today…
Though I have to find psyllium husk!
ATTACK FROM THE BACK ahahahaha the sn2 reactions are still my favorite academic joke of all time. good stuff.
And this bread sounds so fun! I’ve never made paleo bread before, I might have to give it a try. Nutty bread is a-ok in my book! 
I’d probably dump in extra coconut and MAKE it taste like coconut hahahaha
Wow I’m AMAZED you made that bread…check out that texture..it looks so good! Any idea what I can replace psyllium husk with?? I am not even going to try and look for it here in Mumbai as I am almost certain I will be met with blank looks haha!
Hmmm not sure…they act like a thickener so maybe you could try chia seeds or flaxseeds?? They kinda soak up moisture, so maybe they’d work!
Psyllium is found in a lot of stores in the digestive products aisle. It’s basically Metamucil – http://www.metamucil.com/metamucil-original-coarse.php so I bet you could find it at a pharmacy somewhere. You’d just have to read the ingredients to make sure. FiberSure, for instance, is different.
Found this for you – http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=1417898
hi, you can find it everywhere in Mumbai, it is actually isbagol powder.
good luck
Lamya
psyillium is also known as isgahbol
This is the most incredible recipe I have seen in a long time Alexandra! It is definitely something I can see myself enjoying, the texture looks fabulous!
Sounds like a busy study filled weekend
And now all that commuting sounds like it is going to be a complete time bust. Good luck with everything, I hope you get a chance to feel calm, and renewed at some point this week 
I am totally making this today!! Looks so yummy!! I will let you know how it turns out!!
Sweet!
I feel for ya girl – orgo chem pretty much owned my life when I took it a few years ago!
But at least you’re almost done!
Also this bread looks fantastic! I wonder if I could replace the psyllium husk with ground flaxseed??
I bet that’d work! I guess anything that’ll absorb moisture would do!
yep you sold me, making that bread. delicious, I mean seriously drooling at that picture. congrats on moving into the apartment and getting so much done this weekend.
Mmm that does indeed look tasty, and obviously I am all for those ingredients and nutrition of the bread… love it
I am glad you were able to catch up on sleep over the weekend, very important of course, especially with starting to commute soon and being even more busy, boo 
Have a nice rest of your Monday pretty lady
Bahah! I just love your commentary. It makes me chuckle every time… especially the “warning” before the bread recipe. I am going grocery shopping later this week, so I will make sure to pick up the almond flour… can’t wait to try it out!
Mmmm, looks good to me! Then again, I hardly ever meet a bread I *don’t* like.
I am making almond flour today.. Now I know how to use it!
Thanks for the recipe darling, it looks amazing!
amazing! I can’t imagine making my own bread–I’m not much of a chef!
This is such a good idea,using coconut flour and almond flour to make bread… Cool!
You sure know how to sell a recipe, what a description! Hmm, looks tasty and like the perfect solution to a stressful schedule. And a good use for some sneaky coconut flour–I really don’t like the stuff and have a giant bag of it, good way to use a T or two so it doesn’t go to waste…
The bread looks so yummy! The sliced cake pan version really reminds me of pioneer baking (like you mentioned)
Aww, you’re almost done!! Only a few more days
you can do it!!
Love the bread! Do you think it can be made with peanut flour?!
Ooh that’s a neat idea! You should totally give it a whirl!
Ha! Butt attack. I love nerdy chemistry jokes.
Omg ewwww benzene rings make me want to DIEE. You can’t even anticipate how amazing you’re going to feel when this class is over.it’s like christmas and your birthday all combined.
This bread looks and sounds fabuloso!
Baha, I love your WARNING for this bread. More foods should come with warnings like that.
. I’m excited to make this!
Puuumped cos I actually have all the ingredients for this! And things made with almond flour are always scrumptious to me. I am loaf tinnless though, so I might make it into muffins
You WILL make it through the rest of this semester!
Xxx
Thanks so much for the encouragement!!
And hope you enjoy them in muffin form!
This bread looks delicious! Definitely want to try it, need to find some coconut flour in the area.
Looks amazing and delicious!!! Good luck with the study!
You are awesome, this looks so scrumptious! And all the ingredients are superb, super healthy! As usual. I’m glad you got in some much needed rest, so important to our health!!
Only 15 more days! I’m counting for you;)
YUM!!! I want to make this!
Girl, you’re going to plow through those 15 days!! Especially now that you’re fueled by super bread–super DELICIOUS-looking bread might I add. I’m definitely going to try this; I LOVE almond flour! Thank goodness TJ’s makes it semi-affordable!
Oh, and I totally catch your drift about the benefits of that extra fiber; the pumpkin-coconut protein bars I’ve been making do digestive wonders too. Haha! Keep truckin’, my friend…You can do it! HUGS! xoxoxo
I love how thick this bread is! I really need to invest in some almond flour to try it out. Do you think a chia or flax egg would work in place of the eggs?
Ooh I bet flax egg would work great!
love that bread! i made it the other day too and used a little peanut flour (not paleo). Good stuff! good luck with studying and school! thinking and praying for ya.
Thank you so much LC!
i’ve been making almond meal muffins and i LOVE! i’m curious as to why you added the apple cider vinegar — and now you’ve officially made me decide i need to get my paws on some TJs turkey jerky! shopping list for friiiidayyyyy xoxo
Ahh YESSSS! Almond flour is the BEST!
About the apple cider vinegar–one of my friends told me it gave a nice flavor to breads, but you could probably omit it– I can’t really taste any difference to be honest haha! And that jerky…beware…you will become addicted. It’s laced with crack! 
oh girl, i’m hating summer school too! but we’re almost done and then i can have fun in the kitchen again! with recipes like this one!
You bet! We’re so close!!!
I’m sorry you’re so crazy busy lovely! I can imagine it’s really hard work but stay strong and keep it up, think how great it will feel when you finish
This bread looks amazing, I’d be really interested to try it!
My commute to school is an hour each way, and I def feel your pain! Hang in there!! I’m trying to change my negative attitude. Talking to God, listening to some podcasts, etc def makes it a lot more enjoyable. The bread looks delish! I don’t have any almond flour on hand. Do you think chickpea flour might work? And is psyllium husk a must-add? I’m going to have to get that too
Hey girl!
Hmm I bet chickpea flour would be awesome with it! And as for psyllium husk– it is a necessary ingredient since it soaks up a lot of moisture, but you could use flaxseeds or chia seeds instead!
