Keto Almond Flour Bread
Whip up this Keto Almond Flour Bread recipe - a low-carb, gluten-free delight that's both tasty and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 6 large eggs separated
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar optional, for fluffier bread
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to break up any lumps in the almond flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and melted butter until smooth. This mixture should look creamy.
- In another clean bowl, whip the egg whites (with cream of tartar if you're using it) using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This can take several minutes, so be patient.
- Gently fold the yolk-butter mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Then, delicately fold in the whipped egg whites. This step is crucial: you don't want to deflate the egg whites, so be gentle!
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
