High Protein Gluten Free Bread Recipe Without Nuts

High Protein Gluten Free Bread Recipe

Are you looking for a recipe for high protein gluten free bread? You can achieve high protein bread easily using almond flour as in my previous recipes for Almond Flour Gluten Free Bread. However, if you’d like to avoid nuts or just don’t have any on hand, a healthy alternative is the use of pea protein. If you cannot tolerate pea protein, use brown rice protein instead. This recipe results in a very flavorful bread that isn’t just all starch. Enjoy!

Refried Black Beans Using Canned Whole Black Beans

Refried Black Beans

Using canned whole black beans, you can make the most delicious refried black beans. Black beans are very nutritious as they are high in protein. You get 8 grams of protein in just 1/2 cup of beans.

The following recipe for refried black beans is so delicious, you’ll want to make a large batch and freeze some for future use.

Caramelized Red Onions with Balsamic Vinegar or Red Wine

Caramelized Red Onions with Balsamic or Red Wine

Using balsamic vinegar, you can make these delicious and sweet caramelized onions though you can use merlot (as I did – as shown) or other red wine. I call my version Merlot Caramelized Onions.
