Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any oil of choice)
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol (optional)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla, unflavored, or plant-based)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Preheat Oven & Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a 4×4 inch square pan with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Eggs and Oil: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and avocado oil together until well combined and frothy. If using erythritol, whisk it in at this stage until fully dissolved.
- Add Greek Yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or spoon just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Slice: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing to ensure clean slices and best texture.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs ensures better emulsification and texture.
- Substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if desired for a richer flavor.
- Erythritol is optional and adds sweetness; omit if you prefer unsweetened bread.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner cuts.
- Storage: Keep the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
