Hey there! Today, we’re diving into one of my favorite low-carb treats: Keto Almond Flour Bread.

Whether you’re new to keto or a seasoned pro, this bread recipe is a game-changer. It’s simple to make, absolutely delicious, and perfect for anyone looking to cut down on carbs without sacrificing flavor.

Why Keto Almond Flour Bread?

Let me tell you a story. A few years back, I embarked on the keto journey. The hardest part? Giving up bread.

That’s when I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe. It’s now a staple in my kitchen, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

What Makes This Bread So Special?

If you find it difficult to give up bread, this keto-friendly bread made with almond flour will make your low carb lifestyle so much easier.

It is a fantastic replacement for normal wheat bread with only a minor eggy taste, plus it holds together well for keto sandwiches.

The entire sugar-free loaf contains over 3000 calories and 92g protein, and per slice will give you 17.5g fat with just 1.25g net carbs.

Not bad for something that has the same resemblance as normal wheat bread but with much fewer carbs. It’s a great way to use your favorite bread toppings and stay within your keto macros.

Ingredients for Success

First things first, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Almond flour: The star of the show. It’s gluten-free, low-carb, and rich in healthy fats.

• Eggs: They help bind the bread and give it a fluffy texture.

• Baking powder: This gives our bread the rise and fluffiness we love.

• Salt: Just a pinch to enhance the flavors.

• Butter or coconut oil: For that rich, moist crumb.

• Apple cider vinegar: A little secret for extra fluffiness.

• Sweetener: Optional, but a touch of sweetness can make all the difference.

• Xanthan gum: Helps to bind the bread.

How To Make Almond Flour Keto Bread

Ready to bake? Let’s get started:

Making low carb doesn’t need to be difficult, but there are a few key steps to give your bread the best possible taste.

You want to use room temperature butter or coconut oil and the same with your eggs.

If your butter is straight from the fridge, make sure to gently warm it until it begins to melt but not to boiling point as the eggs will cook while mixing.

Baking powder and xanthan gum are also essential ingredients since, without both, the bread will not bind and rise sufficiently and may sink upon finishing baking and resting.

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 C (360 F).

Crack the eggs in a mixing bowl and mix with a hand mixer until combined. Use a whisk if you don’t have one, it will just take a little longer.

Add the room temperature or melted butter and beat until smooth.

Add all dry ingredients including almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and mix until combined and thick.

Line an 8-inch X 4-inch loaf pan with baking or parchment paper to prevent the batter from sticking then pour in the mixture.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting. Keep an eye on it and make sure to check after 40 minutes as every oven is different.

Rest on a wire rack until cool on all sides, then slice.

Let it cool before slicing. This is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth the wait.

Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week or 3 months in the freezer.

For this loaf of bread, I cut into 16 slices, so the nutritional information below is for 1 slice.

Remember, if you wish to have dairy-free bread, simply replace the butter with coconut oil or olive oil, and it will give you a very comparable texture.

Pro Tips for Perfect Bread

Now, here are a few tips to take your Keto Almond Flour Bread to the next level:

Use room temperature ingredients: This helps everything blend better.

Don’t overmix: A gentle hand ensures a tender crumb.

Line your loaf pan with parchment paper: Makes for easy removal and clean-up.

Experiment with add-ins: Seeds, nuts, or even cheese can add extra flavor and texture.

A Slice of Life

I remember the first time I made this bread. The smell of freshly baked bread filled my kitchen, and I felt like I had discovered a hidden treasure.

I could finally eat bread again with my meals.

It’s moments like these that make the keto journey so rewarding. Whether you’re enjoying a slice on its own or as part of a meal, this bread brings comfort and joy.
