This homemade muesli bread is a dense, nutrient-rich loaf that offers an excellent dairy-free alternative to traditional quick breads. Combining the savoury depth of roasted almond butter with the natural sweetness of dried apricots and cranberries, it provides a sophisticated flavour profile that is not overly sweet. The addition of sesame and sunflower seeds provides a delightful crunch, making every slice feel substantial and satisfying.
Ideal for those seeking a wholesome breakfast or an energising midday snack, this loaf is naturally packed with healthy fats and fibre. The recipe relies on almond flour and arrowroot for a light yet sturdy texture, ensuring it holds together perfectly when sliced.

Ingredients for Muesli Bread
180ml creamy roasted almond butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon agave nectar
4 large eggs
30g blanched almond flour
30g arrowroot powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon ground flax meal
60ml dried apricots, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
60g dried cranberries
80g pistachios, coarsely chopped
40g hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
35g sesame seeds
35g sunflower seeds
How to make Muesli Bread
Preheat the oven to 177°C. Grease a 7-by-3-inch loaf pan with grapeseed oil and dust with almond flour.
In a large bowl, mix the almond butter and agave nectar with a handheld mixer until smooth, then blend in the eggs. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot powder, salt, bicarbonate of soda, and flax meal. Blend the almond flour mixture into the wet ingredients until thoroughly combined. Fold in the apricots, cranberries, pistachios, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. Pour the batter into the loaf pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven, until a knife inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 1 hour, then serve.
