Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (optional, for richness)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (optional, for structure and texture)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth and fully combined. Add olive oil or melted butter if using, and mix well.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder if using. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. If using psyllium husk powder, add it at this stage and mix until fully incorporated for improved texture.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, the top is golden brown, and the bread has risen.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing, preserving its texture.
- Serve: Once fully cooled, slice the bread and serve as desired—perfect for toasting, making sandwiches, or enjoying with your favorite spreads.
Notes
- Using psyllium husk powder improves the bread’s structure and texture but is optional.
- Garlic powder adds a subtle flavor but can be omitted for a neutral taste.
- Ensure the bread cools completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Adjust baking time slightly if using a different loaf pan size.
