Oats Free Paleo Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy
Classic comfort food gets a serious upgrade here, and the result is a deeply savory, satisfying centerpiece that feels anything but restrictive. Ground beef is bound with almond flour and eggs instead of the usual breadcrumbs, so the loaf stays tender and sliceable without relying on any grain-based fillers. Coconut aminos and smoked paprika work quietly in the background, adding a rich, umami-forward depth that makes every bite taste like it took far more effort than it did. The tangy tomato-coconut aminos glaze caramelizes beautifully in the oven, giving the top that sticky, lacquered finish you want on a proper meatloaf. Then there's the mushroom gravy — cremini mushrooms browned until deeply golden, finished with beef bone broth and thickened with arrowroot starch — which turns this into something genuinely special. It's the kind of meal that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for feeding a crowd, and nobody at the table needs to know it was built around a specific set of ingredient rules.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, beaten eggs, 1/4 cup beef bone broth, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks remain; overmixing will tighten the texture.
