Julvört – Swedish Christmas Worth Bread (Gluten Free)

by foodfuelness

This is a not so traditional recipe for a very traditional Swedish Christmas bread. This is a healthier, very easy recipes, using black beans, oat flour and filmjölk (butter milk or yogurt). This bread is both gluten and sugar free and very very delicious.

If there is one bread we eat in Sweden during Christmas it’s this Julvört – Christmas Worth Bread. It is usually made using wheat flour, syrup, beer/worth or a soda called Julmust. And then we have all the spices; ginger, cloves and pomegranate. And some versions also include raisins. I wanted to make a healthier and gluten free version of this lovely Christmas bread. So I chose to use black beans as the base, which makes the bread very moist and soft. I also added filmjök which also provides moist to the bread. The flavors comes from the liquid sweetener and all the spices. This bread has a very intense and rich flavor. We eat this bread with everything. Some of the most classic parings are:

  • Ham and mustard
  • Beetroot salad and meatballs
  • Christmas cheese
  • Pate and cornichons or picked cucumber

Ingredients for this Julvört – Swedish Christmas Worth Bread:
