Dairy-Free Almond Flour Bread with Goji Berries and Chocolate Chips
I love it when you can eat a treat that is actually good for you! This gluten-free quick bread recipe is packed with protein, thanks to almond flour and eggs, is gluten and dairy-free, and has some serious super-food quality thanks to goji berries.
Get your Goji Berries from BareOrgaincs, they are organic, vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO. We like the sweet-tart flavor and think they work so well in this bread recipe – a nice balance to the chocolate chips.
Let’s not forget – chocolate is its own superfood – especially dark chocolate. It helps with cardiovascular health, brain function, and mood. I agree about the mood thing – who feels bad when eating chocolate?
