What is Paleo Hemp Seed Bread?

Paleo Hemp Seed Bread is a hearty, nutrient-packed bread that’s grain-free, gluten-free, and loaded with healthy fats, fibre, and protein. Unlike traditional bread, this recipe skips the wheat and relies on a mix of almond flour, hemp seeds, and other wholesome ingredients to create a deliciously dense, slightly nutty loaf. It’s perfect for those following a paleo lifestyle, low-carb diet, or anyone looking for a satisfying and nutritious bread alternative.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This Paleo Hemp Seed Bread is the ultimate healthy loaf. It’s easy to make, packed with nutrients, and has a deliciously nutty, slightly crunchy texture. This low carb paleo hemp bread recipe relies on almond flour and hemp hearts to give it texture and flavour. Plus, it’s naturally low-carb and gluten-free, making it a perfect choice for various dietary needs. Whether toasted with avocado or used as a sandwich base, this bread is a game-changer!

The Ingredients

  • Almond Meal – Can be swapped for sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version.
  • Hemp Seeds (hemp hearts) – Substitute with golden flax meal for a different texture. This is not a hemp flour bread as I am really not a fan of hemp flour.
  • Nigella Seeds – If unavailable, use black sesame seeds or omit them.
  • Bicarb Soda & Apple Cider Vinegar – This combo helps the bread rise. Don’t skip it!
  • Coconut Oil – Butter or ghee can be used if you’re not strict paleo.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Loaf

  • If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  • Don’t over-process the nuts and seeds; you want some texture.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Store slices in the fridge and toast as needed for the best texture.

Ways to Cook & Serve Paleo Hemp Seed Bread

This bread is super versatile. Here are some ways to enjoy it:

  • Toasted with Avocado & Sea Salt – A classic for good reason.
  • Topped with Nut Butter & Berries – For a protein-packed snack.
  • Dipped in Soup – Perfect with a warm bowl of keto minestrone.

How to Store Paleo Hemp Seed Bread

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Slice and freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Toast straight from frozen!

Making it in the Thermomix

Using a Thermomix makes this recipe even easier. Simply mill the almonds, chop the seeds, mix the ingredients, and bake as directed. It saves time and ensures a consistent texture.

Variations

While this bread is already packed with flavour, here are a few ways to change it up:

Sweet Touch – Add a bit of cinnamon and a tablespoon of sweetener for a lightly sweetened version.

Herby Delight – Add dried rosemary, thyme, or oregano for an earthy kick.

Savory Cheese Boost – Sprinkle in nutritional yeast or finely grated parmesan for a richer taste.

Nut-Free Alternative – Swap the almond meal for a mix of sunflower seed flour and coconut flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Hemp seeds are low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making this a keto-friendly bread. Hemp hearts are paleo friendly, full of plant-based protein, and omegas.

Yes! Chia seeds, flaxseeds, or sesame seeds can be used instead of hemp seeds, but each will slightly alter the texture and taste.

I really want to create some fabulous new hemp heart recipes. Hemp seeds are not only tasty but very low in carbohydrate. They are also high in plant-based protein, and seriously tasty. We do use hemp hearts in our Best Keto Buns, Keto Chaffles, Chicken and Vegetable Soup, Hemp Milk, and Keto Pea and Ham Soup, just to mention a few!

    I have no experience with hemp seeds but I do use a ton of hemp hearts!! Would they work here?

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      They are the same thing so absolutely!

  2. Dea

    Just making for the first time – canโ€™t wait!!
    Just to clarify thoughโ€ฆ recipe says bi-carb soda but I think itโ€™s meant to be baking soda (powder)
    And is the coconut oil the liquid one or the one that goes hard if itโ€™s cold?

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      Hi Dea yes it is baking soda (sorry old recipe) and the coconut oil is the liquid one. I do need to do some maintenance on some of the older recipes.

  4. Kimberly May

    Iโ€™m curious. Iโ€™m going to make this bread now and noticed in the recipe you said bicarbonate soda and then in your comment above you said you use baking powder. Which one is used please?

    1. Megan

      Hi Kimberly, it is baking soda used in this recipe.

    Utterly awesome ๐Ÿ’ฅ Iโ€™ve been making hemp seed bread for around two years. This one beats my favourite to date

  8. lindsey woolley

    could you tell me if the hemp seeds are hulled please, we can get both in the UK???

  9. Suza NZ

    Hi again. I have a Tm5 thermomix machine, and found whipping the eggs really frothy first, then adding the other ingredients the loaf rose quite a bit.
    Love your site and this recipe is now the only loaf I bake, especially now in NZ I can legally get the hemp seeds. Keep the recipes coming. Yeah !

    Thank you for sharing the recipe. Is it supposed to rise? Mine didnโ€™t rise a all, still tastes ok tho.
    Thanks

    1. Megan

      Not a lot. I find Bobs Red Mill baking powder the best for breads to rise, and size of the eggs used

      1. Shelley

        You say baking powder here but in previous comments you specify baking soda. Which is it? Thank you. Looking forward to trying it.

      2. Megan Mad Creations Hub

        It is an old recipe and I did use baking soda. These days I would use Bobs Red Mill Baking Powder.

  12. Heathers

    This is in grams do you have an imperial measurement. I think 5g is 1 teaspoon. Am I correct.

    1. Megan

      Yes it is. You should be able to flick the recipe over to imperial near the servings indicator

    Hi, I’m from across the sea. I am super excited to try this bread. I am assuming that TM is short for a food processor? Thanks!

    This bread really is unbelievably tasty. I’ve been doing keto for two months now and this recipe has made it so easy. I toast some of this bread up with eggs and avocado everyday and love it. Thank you so much for sharing.

      Glad you enjoy it Josh. It is one of my faves too.
