Grain-Free Gingerbread Walnut Loaf that everyone is talking about!

WHAT IS A GRAIN-FREE GINGERBREAD WALNUT LOAF?

Grain-Free Gingerbread Walnut Loaf is a gluten-free sweet loaf that combines warm, spiced flavors with a moist, slightly dense texture.

Adding walnuts provides a satisfying crunch, making it a wholesome and delicious treat for those with dietary restrictions. This gingerbread walnut loaf is also dairy-free and paleo friendly.

THE INGREDIENTS

This easy loaf recipe is made with fresh ginger, fresh apples, walnuts and pumpkin pie spices. This is not one of those super sweet loaves. The gingerbread walnut loaf is only sweetened with apples, pure maple syrup and a splash of molasses.

THE SPICES

The spices are a mix of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg similar to the ones used in a pumpkin pie or gingerbread. 

THE GRAIN-FREE FLOUR

The almond flour combined with tapioca flour gives this loaf a moist texture with a tender crumb and a firmer crust. Similar to gluten-free classic walnut date loaf.

THE WALNUTS

The key ingredient in this grain-free gingerbread walnut loaf is the walnuts. The chopped walnuts are mixed into the batter, adding a crunch to each bite and a nutty flavor.

IS GINGERBREAD WALNUT LOAF NUTRITIOUS?

First, there are no grains in this loaf, so it is naturally gluten-free. The sweetness comes from apples, maple syrup, and molasses, so there is no refined sugar added.

The flavor comes from fresh ginger, apples, and pumpkin spices, all rich in antioxidants. And for those who are intolerant to dairy, you are in luck. This is a dairy-free sweet bread recipe.

In addition, this grain-free gingerbread walnut loaf is also rich in protein and fiber. And the only fat added to this recipe is coconut oil.

Based on the ingredients, this is a nutritious gingerbread walnut loaf.

SERVING

Depending on personal preference you can enjoy gingerbread walnut loaf warm, at room temperature, or even cold. Warm gingerbread pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
