Michelle's Freefrom Brown Loaf with Ground Almonds

Corn, egg, gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

This loaf needs time to rise, so don't rush it! It has a very slight and rather pleasantly sweet aftertaste thanks to the dark muscovado sugar and the almonds, which also help to keep it moist.
