In the world of low-carb and ketogenic diets, finding suitable substitutes for traditional bread can be a challenge.
However, with the rise in popularity of keto-friendly recipes, options like butter-flavored keto bread have become increasingly sought after.
This article will guide you through a simple recipe for making delicious, buttery keto bread that’s perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying on its own.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon dried herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano) – optional for added flavor
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and erythritol (if using). Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. If desired, add in the dried herbs for extra flavor.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the butter-flavored keto bread into thick slices and enjoy! It’s delicious toasted with a pat of butter or used as a base for sandwiches and avocado toast.
Tips for Success:
- Make sure your almond flour and coconut flour are finely ground for the best texture.
- If you’re sensitive to the taste of coconut, look for coconut flour that has been defatted or choose a brand with a milder flavor.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding different herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
