Peanut bread (gluten free, high protein, low carb)

[Slice of Health]

This is really cool, check out the ingredients! :

160g smooth peanut butter
3 eggs
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp  bicarb soda
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven 180 degrees Celsius
Add peanut butter and eggs to TMX - 10 sec, speed 5
Scrape down - 5 sec, speed 5
Add remaining ingredients - 5 sec, reverse, speed 4
Pour into small loaf pan
Bake 30-40 min
Let cool before slicing

My notes:
- I don't have allergies or a special diet but I was searching for low carb/high protein bread recipes on google last night as I want to get back into fitness and stumbled upon this http://247lowcarbdiner.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/mr-peanut-sandwich-bread.html, converted to TMX as I couldn't wait to try it
- mine made a tiny cute loaf, too small to make a sandwich like on the blog (each slice was biscuit sized) but well worth making if you need gluten free options or want high protein snack food
- it's really soft and surprisingly bread-like, I am going to make this again as a choc option with cocoa in mini muffin forms and play with some variations for healthy snacks
- prob high in calories but you won't eat the whole loaf in one sitting

That's a really cool recipe ! No flour but it looks like it has flour ! So does it have a strong taste of peanut butter ? My kids and husband hate peanut butter !

[Slice of Health]

Its fun isn't it fundj? Seems so freaky without the flour to turn out just like bread. I couldn't wait to try it either. I had a few slices and popped the rest in the freezer to test its 'freezability' !

Debbie it has a bit of a nutty taste but not strong. I made a cup of home made peanut butter in the TMX directly before baking this. Apparently you can make it with other nuts too with varying results. I think a choc/nutella type one would be interesting !! (prob cancel out the healthy aspect of it though but would be really yummy)

Thank you Kulsha, I think I might give it a try on a weekend when everyone's home. Cool recipe !

i need to buy a smaller one i thinking

That looks amazing girls. I will have to try it..........after the retreat.

Walnuts sound like a good option Fundj, would you mill them with some walnut oil to make your own paste in the tmx? Would you flavour with anything else?

I am going to try cashews next time, maybe with chocolate but will have to be careful to keep the mixture light and fluffy.

By the way, this recipe freezes perfectly! I froze most of the loaf and you can easily slice the portion you want when its frozen as its so light. Yesterday I had two small slices at 10am and it kept my hunger at bay til lunch time.

made this today in a smaller tin i added less than a hand full of walnuts to the mixture + more on top , yum

My mouth is watering.

[Slice of Health]

That looks really nice Fundj. Did you make walnut paste with oil and replace the peanut butter altogether (or just add some walnuts to the original recipe)?  I must buy a tiny tin...

[fundj&e]

i just added the walnuts to the recipe

i didnt use the  just in a bowl

Thank you Kulsha and Fundj.

I am just experimenting with steaming this little loaf as it fits neatly into the Varoma.  40 mins was fine for steaming from a cold water start.  It was fully cooked.

I noticed that 1 tablespoon of white vinegar weighs 10g, so next time I won't have to wash up the tablespoon!  (Every little helps.)

This is decorated with cashews, as I ran out of peanuts.

The second pic is after I popped it into the oven (which just happened to be hot already) for 5 mins to get a bit of crust.
