Stop what you are doing and go make this recipe. If you follow me on social media, you may have seen my recipe development and me failing HARD at my first try for this amazing loaf. But luckily, I got it on the second try and it is absolute perfection! It’s sweet, tart and has this refreshing flavor throughout. It is totally summer all wrapped up into a lovely loaf pan!
I am SO PUMPED about the main ingredient in this recipes – the paleo baking flour!! I was recently chatting with my friends from Nuts.com, talking about the items I have the hardest time finding and a paleo baking flour was the first thing on my mind! Sure, you can mix together your own flour and make all kinds of delicious paleo goodies, but it is seriously so nice to use one bag instead of having to buy all the flours to make that perfect treat. So when I told them I was looking for a paleo baking flour and they didn’t have one, they made it happen! How awesome is that?! And it’s available online, ready to grab and bake!
The mix is made with almond flour, arrowroot starch, organic coconut flour, and tapioca flour and comes in a big 1 pound bag. And you can use it as a 1:1 replacement for conventional wheat flour so you can create grain-free pizza, pancakes, muffins, flatbreads, cakes and more, all while using this grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and bean-free flour that is high in fiber and protein!
So now when you shop at Nuts.com, you can grab all your favorite paleo pantry staples like raw nuts, dried fruits, coffees and now this amazing baking mix! And I would definitely load up, if possible, because I plan on making many recipes in the future with this mix, both savory and sweet!!

These photos are freaking beeee yooo ti ful!!!! I work at an ad agency that does our own photography and we specialize in food photography. I know how much work goes into food styling, so what you do is very impressive! (I personally don’t style food, but I do a little post-shoot photo editing).
i have, however, taken pictures of my own meals just for funsies and the pictures always make it look totally gross 😛
awww thank you so much, lisa. food styling is definitely hard work at times but it’s so damn fun, especially with pretty desserts!
Will the bobs red mills brand of paleo flour work the same?
She has previously used Bobs Red Mill Paleo Baking flour in her Banana Choco chip muffin recipe (same ingredients in the flour that nuts.com uses) so might be able to just sub it out!
haven’t tried it for this specific recipe
This flavor combo sounds yummy! I have done some paleo baking in the past but keeping all of the different flours on hand was such a pain. The 1:1 ratio is so convenient! I also expected there to be a ton of butter in this recipe…haha.
Also I just watched your insta story about the people sending you negative comments via email and people seriously must have something wrong with their brain if they are taking the time to write you an email about how your legs look. And who the heck would call them gross? These people make me feel so sane. Just remember that for every 1 person that is lame and hates on you there are tons of us that love you and what you do!
Sorry if this is a silly question, I’m not a baker so I’m a bit confused. A whole bag for this recipe, so 1 pound of flour? Seems like a lot to me, but again, I hardly ever bake (this just looks soo yummy) so it’s probably totally normal to use the whole bag, right?
yes
I know you’ve said you don’t usually eat eggs (I think you said it makes you break out?) but they are in a lot of your recipes and especially baked goods… do you handle them okay in baked goods since it’s a smaller amount of egg you are consuming at one time?
Ps- can’t wait to make this!!!
i just don’t eat a ton of my baked goods on a regular basis so it’s not something i have to really worry about
One whole 1 pound bag of flour? Just checking before I try to make this because it looks amazingggg.
yes
Hi Juli! While this recipe looks delicious, my comment is more a “thank you” for what you do. I know you have mentioned on your podcast that you read all your blog comments and e-mails suck, so this is my attempt to reach out in a non-stressful way. 🙂 And I saw your recent IG story about people being rude, so I thought what better time to share something positive with Juli?!
Thank you (from the bottom of my heart) for doing the work you are doing. I can’t begin to imagine how hard it must be to put yourself out there to thousands of people. I think you look amazing, but more than that I respect the message of balanced healthful living that you are sharing. Over the last 9 months I have lost 40 lbs. Recently I have been getting discouraged b/c I am not losing faster BUT then I will hear you say or see you post that your success has been due to consistent hard work over YEARS. Every time I start to get down on myself, I remember this sentiment from you and feel encouraged. Thank you for the reminder that success doesn’t come over night and that goals are worth the time and consistency they demand.
As a totally random side note, thanks also for being honest about alcohol consumption and how it makes you feel! After too much fun on New Years Eve, I vowed that my shittiest day of 2017 would be Jan. 1 (hung over from New Years) and I haven’t drank since. A lot of people don’t understand why I am not drinking, but dang do I feel good getting up early to work out or to do something else productive. Each time you talk about your habits with alcohol – I cheer a little that someone view’s things like I do!
Thanks again for everything you do – your influence has definitely changed my life for the positive!
isn’t it crazy that so many of us start our year off with being completely hung over?! I did that for so long and just couldn’t take it anymore. all my friends at the gym always ask why i don’t go out or drink much and when i tell them it makes me feel shitty and totally bloated, they think i’m judging them. it’s all about sticking to what you believe in and what makes you feel your best. so keep working hard, keeping doing what makes you feel your greatest, and keep being amazing! thanks for being so sweet and leaving such an amazing comment! i appreciate it so so much!
Hi Juli – this looks amazing! I love all of the websites and brands that you name on your blog and in your podcast. Something I’d be interested in hearing about on your podcast are about your kitchen necessities – what kind/brand of knives do you love? What kind of cleaning products do you use? How about pots, pans and baking stuff?
i’ll definitely add that to my list of podcast topics!
Holy balls. Or nuts? Whatever. So glad you made this recipe because the struggle is soooo real with me and paleo baking. The fails are so hard!! I usually have about 6 before I get a baking recipe right. Can’t wait to try this one out!!
i feel the same way with baking!
This looks SO delicious!
