- Pinch of salt , to taste
For the Crunch:
- ½ cup (80g) almonds
- ⅓ cup (40g) peanuts

Instructions:

until fully combined and smooth.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in:
- Flax seeds
- Psyllium husk powder

Mix well until the batter thickens slightly—it will be quite dense and sticky.

Roughly chop the almonds , peanuts , and cashews .
Add to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Pour Into Jar or Pan
Pour the thick batter into a greased loaf pan or a clean glass jar lined with parchment paper.
Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C) .
Place the loaf pan or jar on the center rack and bake for 40–45 minutes , or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
The bread should be firm to the touch and golden brown on top.

Allow to cool completely before slicing for best results.
