The Best Homemade Paleo Garlic Bread Ever

When I used to go out and eat out more frequently, I was constantly haunted by freshly-baked bread with whipped butter. I absolutely love garlic bread, so whenever it was placed in front of me, I was doomed. As much as I loved eating it, my body revolted against the processed flours and dairy. It just didn’t go down well, and I was constantly bloated from eating too much processed food. When I switched to a paleo dieting approach, most of my bloating subsided, but I really missed my garlic bread. So, I made my own paleo-approved version. This recipe was painstakingly created with much trial and error. To this day, I always go back to this recipe when I need something tried and tested to have with my vegetable noodle recipes.

Are you addicted to garlic bread but worried you can no longer enjoy it while following a paleo diet? I’ve been there myself, believe me. Don’t worry, this grain-free paleo-friendly garlic bread recipe makes for a scrumptious appetizer without breaking any paleo guidelines. As an added bonus, it goes well with almost anything--pasta, soup, salad, you name it.

What Makes Garlic Bread So Yummy?

So what exactly is it that makes a warm fresh loaf of garlic bread so amazingly good? That’s an easy question to answer. It’s the delicious combination of rich garlic flavoring with a crispy outer crust and perfectly chewy interior. It’s quite possible that garlic is my all time favorite ingredient to use in paleo recipes because a little goes such a long way. Not only does it add an immense amount of flavor to so many different kinds of foods (garlic sweet potato fries for example; so incredibly good), but it’s full of amazing health benefits as well.

Garlic has been used throughout human history by many different cultures who have recognized its potential therapeutic benefits when it comes to treating and preventing different diseases. (1) It’s been proven to be highly effective at boosting our immune systems thanks to its allicin content. It’s got anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antibiotic properties while also containing essential vitamins and minerals. These are just a small sampling of the great benefits garlic can provide for your health on top of adding an immense amount of flavoring to your favorite meals.

Paleo Bread Made with Almond Flour and Flaxseed Meal

Garlic alone doesn’t make a good garlic bread though. In order to fully enjoy this tasty appetizer, one must come up with an acceptable paleo-friendly bread replacement. This recipe does just that by using almond flour mixed with flaxseed meal, baking powder, and eggs. Almond flour is amazing for paleo baking as it’s grain and gluten-free and full of vitamins and minerals. The combination of ingredients works surprisingly well together despite not having any yeast.

Bread is one of those foods that’s sorely missed when transitioning to a paleo diet. The texture of this recipe is slightly different from traditional garlic bread, but different isn’t always a bad thing. Once it comes out of the even, you’ll see what I mean. I guarantee you’ll be more than satisfied with the outcome. Don’t forget to add some fresh parsley and even more garlic on top!

P.S. – As I mentioned in the beginning of this recipe, there’s actually quite a few different ways that you can make paleo-friendly garlic bread. Here’s another one of my favorite recipes for  homemade garlic bread.

P.P.S. – How about taking paleo-approved bread-making even further? Paleo garlic breadsticks anyone?

P.P.P.S. – Garlic mashed potatoes are another thing I was obsessed with growing up. Clearly, I loved my carbs. Mashed potatoes are addictive though, so you can forgive me. I tried adapting my family’s recipe and used mashed cauliflower instead. It pairs well with roast chicken, lamb chops, or a juicy steak.
