Healthy Meatloaf Recipe (Paleo + Whole30 + Dairy-Free) – a comforting and delicious meal the whole family will love!
Seriously the best meatloaf recipe ever. Perfect every time.
Healthy Meatloaf Recipe
I know some people’s initial reaction to meatloaf is …. eh meatloaf? I know. I get it. But you HAVE to try this version. It is one of my absolute favorite meals and my girls devour it every time!
This is one of those recipes that brings back just a million memories from my childhood – my mom made this all the time and it has always been a family favorite. I don’t know if I have ever tried another meatloaf recipe that I liked other than this one. And if you prep it ahead of time (or prep 2 of them ahead of time because – hello- I love leftovers) then you can just pop it in the oven when you get home! I love serving it with a baked potato (with dairy-free sour cream) and some simple roasted broccolini!
Enjoy!
Paleo Meatloaf Recipe
Yes! This recipe is Paleo/Whole30 compliant, but if you aren’t concerned with either of those two lifestyles then you can use oats instead of the almond flour! That’s actually how I grew up eating it, but the almond flour works great too!
How to Store this Healthy Meatloaf?
I would store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
How to make healthy meatloaf?
- Preheat oven to 350
- Add all ingredients into medium mixing bowl and mix thoroughly (I usually just use my hands)
- Place mixture in bread pan, making sure it is evenly spread out.
- (I usually take some more salt and pepper and sprinkle on top for a little “crust”)
- Bake for 1.5 hours.
- Let cool slightly before transferring to plate and cutting into thick pieces with knife.
- (We usually serve with ketchup – but feel free to use whatever you want!)

I would love to make this for my family but my son is allergic to nuts. Could i substitute the almond flour and milk for coconut? I’m on whole 30 so i can’t use it flour.
Hi Toni! You can definitely substitute coconut milk for the almond milk. I have never tried coconut flour instead of the almond flour, but I think it should bind everything together in a similar fashion, I just can’t guarantee it since I have never personally tried it! Definitely report back if you do try!!
I made this tonight using the Whole30 version, and added a layer of compliant ketchup in the last ten minutes of baking. It was very good; the whole family loved it! Thought I would have more leftovers, but we gobbled it up!
