If you're avoiding carbs, but miss toast in the morning or an afternoon slice of loaf, this recipe is for you! Dense and nutty, slightly sweet it's great with savoury dishes or buttered and toasted. You can play with the amount of sweetener or fresh herbs to change the flavour profile as it's a pretty forgiving recipe. Just keep in mind you'll need some fat and liquid to keep that almond flour moist.
