This month’s challenge was delightfully simple: gluten-free nut bread. Toss a bunch of dry grains, nuts and seeds together, add salt, water, and coconut oil, wait a couple of hours, bake, cool, and eat. Fortunately it was that easy, because this bread was a huge hit with the family.

For the August challenge Susan from The Kiwi Cook dared us to make Seed & Nut Loaf – a super-healthy and gluten-free alternative to standard wheat-based bread.

I do not avoid gluten or think that most people who obsess about it should either, but this bread was delicious in its own right. It was best with ripe avocado smushed on top, and a sprinkling of sea salt and cracked pepper.
