Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs or flax eggs
- 2 cups almond flour (240 grams)
- ⅔ cup plain yogurt or coconut cream (160 milliliters)
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup lemon juice (60 milliliters)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Dry Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup granulated sweetener (80 grams)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by warming it to 325°F, ensuring an even heat distribution for optimal baking results.
- Prepare the baking vessel by applying a light coating of grease or lining with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- Combine all ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the mixture achieves a uniform, silky consistency with no lumps.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to create a smooth, level surface for even baking.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, periodically checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge completely clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, which helps set the structure and enhances flavor development.
- Once cooled, carefully separate the bread from the pan’s edges using a thin knife, gently easing it out to maintain its delicate structure.
- For optimal preservation, store the keto lemon bread loosely covered at room temperature overnight, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for extended storage of up to 2 months.
Notes
- Store this low-carb bread at room temperature in an airtight container for optimal freshness and texture.
- Refrigeration extends the bread’s shelf life up to 5 days, maintaining its delicate lemon flavor and moist crumb.
- Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap for quick grab-and-go keto-friendly breakfast or snack options.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter and consistent baking results.
- Check doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center – it should come out clean without wet batter.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and preserve its delicate structure.
