Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol (optional, omit for savory bread)
- 1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla, unflavored, or plant-based)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×4 inch square pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Whisk Eggs and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and avocado oil until frothy.
- Add Greek Yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Sift to remove lumps for a smoother batter.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a gummy texture.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing into 7 generous pieces.
