INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We have to use blanched almond flour for a delicate, light crumb. We don’t have to use the almond meal to avoid the grainy texture of the bread.

COCONUT FLOUR:

• Coconut flour helps the bread stay together by adding structure and absorbing moisture without using gluten. We have to make carefully use the coconut flour because it absorbs lots of moisture.

ERYTHRITOL:

• Erythritol is a keto-friendly sweetener and doesn’t increase blood sugar. You can use your favorite low-carb sweetener or monk fruit sweetener in its place depending on the taste.

BAKING POWDER:

• We have to use aluminum-free baking powder to prevent a metallic aftertaste and it helps to keep the loaf airy and helps it rise.

POPPY SEEDS:

• Poppy seeds will enhance visual appeal and add a mild crunch and nutty flavor. You can change the quantity or leave it out if you’d like.

LEMON ZEST AND JUICE:

• We have to use the fresh lemon zest and Juice adds the natural citrus flavor that is necessary for the loaf’s pleasant taste. We should not have to use the bottle of lemon juice and zest as its taste won’t be the same.

EGGS:

• Eggs offer richness, structure, & moisture. We have to use large eggs for reliable outcomes.

COCONUT OIL:

• Coconut oil adds a delicate tropical note and, if desired, maintains it dairy-free, while melted butter adds richness and a buttery flavor.

ALMOND MILK:

• We use almond milk in this loaf; you can use other unsweetened nut milk in place of almond milk, which preserves the dish dairy-free and low in carbohydrates.

VANILLA EXTRACT:
