Seed Oil Free Paleo Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy
Comfort food doesn't get much more satisfying than a thick slice of meatloaf smothered in a rich, savory gravy — and this version delivers all of that without a drop of industrial vegetable or seed oil in sight. Avocado oil does the heavy lifting here, both in the pan and in the gravy, keeping every step clean and the flavors honest. Almond flour stands in for breadcrumbs as the binder, while coconut aminos bring that deep, umami-forward depth you'd normally expect from soy sauce or Worcestershire. The glaze — just tomato paste, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar — caramelizes beautifully in the oven and gives the loaf those gorgeous, lacquered edges. The mushroom gravy is the real showstopper: cremini mushrooms browned until deeply golden, finished with bone broth and thickened with arrowroot starch for a silky, glossy pour that clings to every slice. Resting the loaf before cutting is a small step that makes a big difference, giving you clean, juicy portions instead of a crumbling mess. This is the kind of weeknight dinner that genuinely feels like a treat.

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.
