Almond flour is a popular choice for keto baking due to its low carbohydrate content and high healthy fat content. Unlike traditional wheat flour, almond flour is gluten-free and packed with nutrients, making it a healthier option for those following a ketogenic lifestyle. With only 1.4 grams of net carbs per slice, almond flour bread is a fantastic substitute for regular bread.

To make almond flour keto bread, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:

Almond Flour: Use blanched almond flour for a lighter texture. Almond meal can be used but may result in a denser loaf.
Eggs: Eggs provide structure and moisture. Using room-temperature eggs is essential for the best rise.
Psyllium Husk: This ingredient helps create a fluffy texture and adds fiber.
Baking Powder: A leavening agent to help the bread rise.
Salt: Enhances flavor.
Butter or Olive Oil: Adds richness and moisture.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Reacts with baking soda to give additional rise.

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

5 large eggs (room temperature)
1/4 cup olive oil (or melted butter)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Whisk these until well combined and frothy.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, mix together:

1 3/4 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons psyllium husk

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can affect the bread's texture.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan. Smooth the top gently and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Slice

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and enjoy!

Avoid Eggy Flavor: If you’re sensitive to the eggy taste, consider using fewer yolks. For instance, use 4 whole eggs and 2 egg whites to reduce the egg flavor.
Check Freshness: Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rise.
Storage: Store your almond flour bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze slices for up to six months.

Making keto bread with almond flour is simple, quick, and rewarding. With just a few ingredients, you can create a delicious loaf that fits perfectly into your low-carb lifestyle.
