This is my favorite breakfast bread. It tastes great toasted with butter. Full of protein and made without flour, so it's wheat and gluton free. Perfect for those on a gluten free diet or those of you like me who are just trying to cut down on white flour products. It also makes a great french toast.
Here is the recipe. Adapted from the Cashew Bread recipe in the book "Eat Well, Feel Well" by Kendall Conrad.

6 large eggs, separated
1 tsp salt
5 cups whole raw unsalted cashews
1 cup coconut "flour" (I used bob's mill brand)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups whole milk plain yogurt, or lowfat if you prefer
1 cup water
1/2 cup agave syrup
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Line two 4 1/2 "x10" loaf pans or three smaller loaf pans with parchment paper.
Beat the eggs whites with the salt, using an electric mixer, until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Using a food processor, grind the cashews, coconut flour and baking soda just until a paste starts to form on the sides. With a fork blend the yogurt, egg yolks, water, agave syrup and vinegar. Add to ingredients in the food processor until mixed through. Transfer to a large bowl and fold in the egg whites using a metal spoon until you no longer see clumps of egg white, try not to overmix. Pour into prepared pans and bake for 1hr-1hr 20min. or until the top feels set to the touch and the bread looks browned. Cool in pans on a rack.
The loaves will keep in the refrigerator for a week or 10 days and up to 2 months in the freezer. I usually give away a loaf or freeze one as soon as it cools and put the other one in the fridge. To defrost just place in refigerator overnight.
