"It’s no wonder spinach was Popeye’s food of choice, with just one cup serving providing 35% of your daily iron needs, 84% of your manganese, 65% of your Folate and a whopping 300% of your daily vitamin A requirement!"
SPINACH LOAF
WHAT YOU NEED
250 g (9 oz./21/2 cups) almond flour
1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
2 bunches English spinach blanched and drained
3 organic eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons additive-free coconut milk
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
WHAT TO DO
Preheat the oven to 175°c (345°F/gas 3–4) and grease and flour a 20 x 9 cm (8 x 31/2 inch) loaf (bar) tin.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
Whizz the spinach in a processor (or chop it finely) and add to the bowl, along with the eggs, coconut milk, lemon juice, butter and apple cider vinegar.
Mix thoroughly.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface with the back of a spoon dipped in cold water.
Bake loaf on middle rack of the oven for about 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Turn out onto a wire rack to cool, then enjoy!
The bread will keep for up to 1 week in a sealed container in the fridge, or can be frozen for up to 1 month

Low Carb Flours
The above recipe uses 'low carb flour' and if you are just starting a low carb diet/lifestyle you may feel confused with which low carb flours to use. You may never have used any of them before and how to use them properly can be daunting. Low carb flours do not behave like wheat flour, and how to use them in your old regular high carb recipes is a common question. Of course you may also be interested, or want to know more about them. If that is the case then Libby at 'Ditch The Carbs' site has a very good guide, and you can read it here Dear reader, you will find a variety of articles and recipe ideas within this blog, and not all may be suitable for you. If you may have any food allergies, or underlying health issues these must always be taken into account. If you are a diabetic and not sure how certain foods may affect your blood sugars, test is best, i.e. use your meter.
All the best Jan

Sounds good! Valerie
Never heard of such a loaf!
I will make it ... I enjoy culinary adventures!
I just have to find out the difference between English spinach and American spinach! :))
...if it's good enough for Popeye, it's good enough for me.
This sounds different and tasty. I hope I can find some time to make it- or find someone who will make some for me to share. :)

That is different. I'm willing to give anything a go once.
This recipe intrigues me but I don't really understand what you mean by two bunches of English spinach. How much is that in weight, do you think?

Hello there, and many thanks for your comment and question.
In grams this would be between 400-500g, so perhaps use about 450g, this should be fine!
All the best Jan
I love fresh spinach! I'm not usually a fan of the cooked stuff, unless I "hide" it in something like pasta or soups!
Well this sounds different, and I do like spinach, (thought it took me 60 years to find that out) Have a great week, Sue xx

That sounds good.
And would go very well with rather a lot of cheese varieties.
We sure like spinach at my house.

I haven't tried almond flour yet but it's on my list of things to try.
