Can You Eat Keto Almond Flour Bread on Keto?

Eating bread while on keto sounds like a dream, but it’s true: almond-flour bread is 100% keto friendly and gluten-free.

Almond flour is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it a great alternative to wheat flour. Plus, it’s high in fiber and protein and is packed with magnesium, potassium, and vitamin E, making almond flour a more nutritious option than other alternatives.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup flaxseed flour

  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F

2. Crack all the eggs into a bowl and, using an electric or stand mixer, whisk until the egg is frothy.

3. In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, flaxseed flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Add the coconut oil and apple cider vinegar into the egg mix and beat again.

5. Pour the dry ingredient mix into the wet ingredient bowl and mix vigorously together until thoroughly combined.

Variations

Not everyone can eat (or likes to eat) all of the ingredients used to make Keto Almond Flour Bread. Thankfully, some great options are available if you need to make recipe substitutions.

Flaxseeds, for instance, can be replaced with psyllium husk or ground chia seeds. They’re just one part of the binding agent to help keep your bread from crumbling. Flaxseed and psyllium husk are also both high in fiber.

If you have an egg allergy or don’t eat eggs for personal reasons, there are different ingredients you can substitute. However, these will have an effect on the cooking time, so be sure to toothpick test your bread towards the end of the cooking time. Your bread also may have a different texture and flavor.

Egg SubstituteAmount per EggChange to Cooking Time
Flaxseed Meal1 tbsp + 3 tbsp waterSlightly longer
Chia Seeds1 tbsp + 3 tbsp waterSlightly longer
Applesauce (unsweetened)1/4 cupSlightly shorter or similar
Mashed Banana1/4 cupSlightly shorter or similar
Silken Tofu1/4 cupSimilar or slightly longer
Vinegar + Baking Soda1 tbsp vinegar + 1 tsp baking sodaSimilar
Yogurt (unsweetened)1/4 cupSimilar
Buttermilk (or sour milk)1/4 cupSimilar

The only ingredient that absolutely cannot be substituted is almond flour. Even using another gluten-free flour will dramatically change the consistency and density of the bread.

FAQs

My bread is crumbling when I take it out of the freezer. What am I doing wrong?

If you’re freezing your bread, you want to make sure the bread is completely cooled and sliced before freezing. Also, make sure that your loaf is completely wrapped and sealed in a freezer bag. Almond flour bread won’t keep its structural integrity if it gets soggy from the freezer.

My bread is very dense. How can I fix this?

The best tool to use for this bread is an electric beater or a stand mixer, as it is important to get a lot of air into your eggs when you beat them and for the eggs to double in volume. But this is achievable with a hand whisk. It just takes a bit more strength and determination, and you can do it.

My children love this bread. Can I double this recipe?

Yes, this is an easy one to double. Just adjust your cooking time to make sure the loaf is baked. I love making 4 loaves at a time and slicing and freezing them.

How To Store Keto Almond Flour Bread

The best way to store Keto Almond Flour Bread is by first wrapping the loaf tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then, place your keto bread in a plastic resealable bag or an airtight container. You want to prevent any outside air from getting to your bread in order to keep it fresh for as long as possible.

Freezing keto bread is a great way to have something on-hand that you can make a quick to make a quick lunch or snack with. After wrapping your bread in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, place it inside a sealable freezer bag. For the best results, pre-slice your bread before freezing.

To reheat, just pop your slices in the oven or a toaster. Or, you can leave slices to thaw at room temperature. Just use your Keto Almond Flour Bread within 3 months of the freeze date.
