Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt or coconut cream
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 eggs or flax eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking during baking.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the batter.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt or coconut cream, lemon juice, eggs or flax eggs, and lemon zest. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour Batter: Transfer the mixed batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes. Bake until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges to loosen it and carefully pop the bread out.
- Storage: Store the keto lemon bread at room temperature overnight, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or slice and freeze for up to 2 months for longer preservation.
- Flavor Tip: Be sure to include the lemon zest as it adds a vibrant, fresh flavor that enhances the overall taste of the bread.
Notes
- You can substitute yogurt with coconut cream to keep the recipe dairy-free.
- Flax eggs are a great vegan alternative to eggs.
- Ensure almond flour is finely ground for the best texture.
- Check the bread at 45 minutes to avoid overbaking, oven temperatures vary.
- Use a toothpick test to determine doneness; it should come out mostly clean.
