Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (e.g., Lakanto)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt or coconut cream (for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 eggs or flax eggs (for vegan option)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9×5 loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the almond flour mixture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry ingredients, add the plain yogurt or coconut cream, lemon juice, eggs or flax eggs, and lemon zest. Mix all ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. The bread is done when it turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. This helps the bread set properly and makes it easier to slice without crumbling.
- Store: Store any leftovers at room temperature for up to 1 day, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute eggs with flax eggs to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Use coconut cream as a dairy-free substitute for plain yogurt.
- Ensure the almond flour is finely ground for the best texture.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing your preferred keto-friendly sweetener and taste test the batter before baking.
- Allow the bread to cool completely to prevent it from falling apart when slicing.
