The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)

The SCD has transformed lives by offering a dietary solution for those struggling with digestive issues. Elaine Gottschall, a pioneer of this diet, developed it to help her daughter, and it has since provided relief to many, including myself. Diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, I found that the SCD helped me to heal when nothing else worked.

For more information on the SCD, check out Elaine Gottschall’s book, “Breaking the Vicious Cycle.” It’s an invaluable resource for anyone looking to explore the benefits of this diet.

How Do You Make Cashew Flour?

If you want to make your own cashew flour for this cashew bread recipe or for other gluten-free recipes, you can start with 2 cups of raw cashews.

Put them in a food processor and process until they reach a flour-like consistency. You will have some bigger chunks that may not grind down, if that is the case use a fine-mesh sieve to filter them out.

Remove the flour that has reached the proper consistency, transfer it to another container, and then add the bigger chunks back to the food processor.

Process them until they reach the desired consistency and can pass through the fine-mesh sieve.

For best results, store your homemade cashew flour in an air-tight container in the freezer until ready to use in your next grain-free recipe such as cashew flour bread.

How Do You Make Cashew Butter?

To make your own cashew butter you will need to start with about 2 cups raw cashews and 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil.

Place cashews on a baking sheet and toast in an oven preheated to 325ºF for about 10-12 minutes.

Allow the cashews to cool and then put them in a food processor.

Run on high speed for about 10 minutes until they begin to cream then add in the coconut oil. Run for another 5-7 minutes.

Be sure to store the cashew butter in an airtight container or use it right away and make cashew nut bread.

Serving Ideas for Cashew Bread

When I make lasagna, I spread butter on a slice of this flourless bread, add a couple of shakes of garlic powder, and salt, then pop it in the oven for a couple of minutes, creating a delicious flourless garlic bread.

When making homemade tomato sauce I take a slice and dip it into the sauce to hold me over until dinner time, just like I used to do with plain bread made with flour.

Sometimes I just spread some cream cheese or butter on a slice as well as sprinkle some cinnamon on top to enjoy with my coffee. It’s also great when toasted and served with this 2 ingredient concord grape jelly.

Another delicious way to enjoy this flourless bread is to make gluten-free French toast!

Since it has been hard to find grain-free sandwich bread for SCD, my favorite way to use this cashew flour bread recipe is for making sandwiches.

That is what makes this recipe for cashew nut bread so great, it creates a versatile loaf that can be used just like traditional bread. This cashew nut bread is now a staple in my diet because it pairs well with everything.

Why Make a Grain-Free Cashew Bread?

Cashew Flour vs. Almond Flour: Which is Better?

Cashew flour and almond flour are popular alternatives to traditional flour, especially for gluten-free and Paleo diets. While their textures are nearly identical, cashew flour offers a creamy, nutty flavor that can add extra depth to your dishes. Nutritionally, cashew flour has a slight edge over almond flour, providing additional benefits.

Thanks for stopping by Roma but unfortunately that isn't going to work. The cashew butter is an essential part of this recipe although you may be able to try another nut butter with similar results. I would love to hear your feedback if you give it a try.

Intersting flavor compared to regular bread -- it actually makes the sandwich better -- and great, moist texture. Also super easy. Planning on making this every week. Thank you so much for this recipe.
