Ingredients

1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 cup garbanzo flour (chickpea flour)
2 tablespoons garbanzo flour (chickpea flour)
1/4 cup golden flax seed, ground
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
5 eggs, separated
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 tablespoon Xylitol sweetener (or to desired sweetness) or 4 drops liquid stevia (or to desired sweetness)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

Prepare 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan by greasing.
3

Using a food processor, combine the almond flour, garbanzo bean flour, flaxseeds, baking soda, the optional cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until well blended. Add the egg yolks, butter, buttermilk, and xylitol or stevia and pulse just until blended.
4

Add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl and beat on high with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Pour into the flour mixture and pulse until the egg whites are evenly distributed, avoiding running the machine at a constant speed. Spread into the pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely.
