When it comes to bread, not all loaves are created equal. As a gluten-free nutritionist, I’m always looking for breads that actually support the body too.
Whether you’re managing a gluten sensitivity, cutting back on sugar, avoiding dairy, working on your gut health, or just trying to bake something up for the week, there are a few checkboxes that can help you do all of that while still being a bouncy delicious loaf that’s nourishing too.
I put together a list of bread recipes that check all the boxes: gluten-free, plant-based, sugar-free, and yeast-free. These recipes are easy enough for a chill Sunday baking session and perfect for fueling your week ahead.
My bread recipe must-haves from a gluten-free nutritionist:
Gluten-Free
Gluten can be inflammatory for many people who don’t even know they have a gluten sensitivity. It’s not always an obvious reaction like stomach pain or bloating either, sometimes it can show up as fatigue, skin issues, joint pain, or even brain fog.
For some, choosing a gluten-free bread recipe can be a small but powerful way to support your body’s natural balance, reduce inflammation, and feel your best. Plus, with so many amazing gluten-free bread recipes, there’s no reason to settle for bread that doesn’t love you back.
Plant-Based
Dairy can be packed with antibiotics and hormones that can wreak havoc on our bodies. Everything from causing inflammation in the body to changing how our immune system and hormones are functioning.
Sugar-Free
Many people often start their day off with bread. There’s no reason to start your day off with a sugar high and a crash. Many store-bought breads can contain 8+ grams of sugar PER SLICE! Then you may add some peanut butter and jam, or honey/agave on top of that. Instead let’s give your body whole grains rich in fiber, protein, and carbs that will provide a smooth energy boost without all the sugar.
Yeast-Free
This one is simply because, if we are making home-made bread, waiting for yeast to rise can be one additional step in the sometimes already long baking process. If you have a list of go to recipes that are yeast free, you may be more likely to jump on making bread yourself instead of using store-brand. Which is a HUGE win in my book!
So I’ve gathered up some simple and very nutritious gluten-free, sugar-free. yeast-free, plant-based very yummy breads. Use this list as your go to for Sunday baking. You’ll be so happy you did when you have a healthy bread to reach to all week. Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments! I can’t wait to hear how much you love these.
5 healthy breads

2. oat bread
Looking for a healthier version of nostalgic white bread?
THIS will be your go-to! While this recipe does have white rice flour (which isn’t the most nutritious), it’s also packed with almonds, oat flour, and brown rice flour. Which leads to a lower glycemic index, keeping you fuller longer and with much less of a crash than a few slices of grandma’s old Wonder Bread would give you.

3. fermented buckwheat bread
Buckwheat can often be a bit of an acquired taste, but if it’s not something you’ve had before, definitely give this one a shot! Buckwheat is loaded with protein, fiber, and various minerals. There are a lot of complex buckwheat bread recipes out there, I think this one because it’s simple and delicious.

4. gluten-free sandwich bread
Another great option for a healthy white bread. Making use of gluten-free flour mix while adding in the nutrients of psyllium husks for fiber, and cassava flour for a lighter feel, this is sure to be one of your favorites. You can omit the natural maple syrup if you’re going 100% sugar-free.
