Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder (for texture and structure)
- Optional: ½ cup finely ground almond flour (adds structure without raising carbs significantly)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent sticking.
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, full-fat Greek yogurt, and melted butter or coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even base for the batter.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder into the wet mixture. If you choose to use almond flour, add it now. Mix thoroughly until the batter is well combined and slightly thickened.
- Pour and Smooth the Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the bread turns golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely to ensure it holds its structure and slices cleanly without crumbling.
Notes
- Using aluminum-free baking powder ensures no metallic taste and is better for sensitive diets.
- The optional almond flour enhances the bread’s texture but slightly increases carbs; omit if you want strict zero carb.
- Xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder is essential for structure, especially if almond flour is omitted.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Letting the bread cool fully is crucial to prevent crumbling when slicing.
