    keto almond bread recipe

    Paleo almond butter bread is possibly the BEST keto bread recipe ever! The texture is light and fluffy just like wheat bread. But this easy to make recipe is flourless, low-carb, gluten-free, and made with only 5 ingredients!

    When moving to a low carb diet, most people don't want to give up breads. That's why I've been looking into more low carb recipe options. My latest creation is a keto friendly paleo bread made with almond butter.

    I've done a ton of baking over the years with almond flour and coconut flour. And many of my recipes use a combination of both flours. That's because I find it's comes the closest to using wheat flour.

    The issue I have with bread made with almond flour is that the texture tends to be heavy. And bread made with coconut flour can be dry or a bit eggy. So I experimented with a simple recipe using only almond flour so I could get a light and fluffy loaf without using too many eggs.

    Why use almond butter instead of almond flour for keto bread?

    With almond butter, the nuts have been processed until the oils are released. Therefore, baked goods tend to have a lighter texture than those made with almond flour because no additional fat is needed. The pieces of almond in the butter are also much finer than the flour.

    How to make a paleo bread with almond flour

    What I love about this recipe is that it comes together quickly with minimal ingredients. Simply blend the egg yolks into the almond butter, then mix in the whipped egg whites, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, and salt.

    If the almond butter has salt in it, omit the salt so the loaf isn't too salty. And be sure to choose a butter without any added sugar.

    The recipe makes one 8x4-inch loaf. I like to use a silicone loaf pan so the bread releases easily. However, a lightly greased parchment paper lined pan works just as well.

    How long does almond butter paleo bread last?

    I don’t recommend keeping it out at room temperature for more than a day or two. If kept in the refrigerator, the loaf should last at least a week or two.

    But wrapping it well and freezing will allow it to keep for at least 3 months. A frozen loaf can be thawed in the refrigerator or slices can be toasted as needed.

    What’s the carb count?

    When cut into 16 slices, each slice has about 1.5 grams of net carbs. So using two slices for a sandwich only adds about 3 grams of net carbs. This makes it the perfect gluten free bread recipe for keto sandwiches!

    Is there any bread that doesn’t have carbs?

    Unfortunately, it’s impossible to make bread with zero carbs. The lowest I’ve seen is oopsie rolls with just 0.6 grams of net carbs each. Even my popular nearly no carb bread made with pork rinds has one gram carb per serving due to the egg and cheese.

    Recipe variations

    Once you master this easy brown bread loaf, you may want to change it up a bit. So I’ve come up with a few suggestions to try.

    • Any nut or seed butter will work in the recipe. For those with nut allergies, sunflower seed butter is a great nut free option.
    • A little cinnamon can be added along with a couple tablespoons of sweetener. This makes a lovely morning treat with a cup of tea!
    • Add in a few nuts or seeds for more of a whole grain texture. Chia, flax, and sesame seeds work well. Or toss some sliced almonds on top.

    Ways to serve the brown bread

    Although the slices are perfect for making sandwiches, that not all you can do with them. Lets look at some other ideas:

    • Keto French Toast is one of my favorite low carb breakfast recipes. Just dip in beaten egg with a little cinnamon and fry until golden.
    • Low Carb Stuffing can be made by toasting cubes of the bread and using them instead of croutons in your favorite recipe.
    • Sugar Free Bread Pudding is an easy way to turn it into a sweet keto dessert!

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup almond butter
    • 4 large eggs separated
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • ¼ teaspoon salt see note

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease or line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
    • Pour almond butter into large mixing bowl. Add yolks to almond butter and the whites to a separate medium bowl. Beat egg whites with an electric hand mixer on high until light and fluffy. Then beat the egg yolks into the almond butter with the same mixer.
    • Add beaten egg whites, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, and salt to the almond butter mixture. Beat with electric mixer until well combined.
    • Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
    • Cool on rack for 15 minutes and then remove from pan. Cut into 16 slices.

    Notes

    The recipe can be made in one bowl if the eggs aren't separated. However, whipping the egg whites separately should result in a fluffier loaf.
    If the almond butter contains salt, it's best to omit the added salt to avoid a loaf that's too salty.

      I tried this bread today and I love the flavor but something went wrong and it's not light and fluffy. It didn't grow much in the oven.
      Any troubleshooting suggestions?

        Was your baking soda fresh? The rise comes from the reaction between the baking soda and vinegar.

          I used baking powder instead of baking soda!!!!!
          Really???? No comment.
          I'll try again and I'm sure it will work.
          Thank's for getting back to me and for sharing this recipe.

      Excellent bread! My husband likes this bread the best since the texture is the closest to real bread. I had to limit the amount he was eating so there would be some left for me. I added cinnamon and sweetener but you can barely taste them because the almond butter overrides them.
