A quick and easy almond flour bread that does not taste eggy. This recipe makes perfectly soft keto sandwich bread! Gluten free and low in carbs.

I’ve made many keto bread recipes since I started eating low carb. And I’ve got to say – this almond flour bread is one of my favourite recipes! It is such an easy recipe and requires only a few ingredients.

I regularly use it as sandwich bread in lunch boxes, it toasts well and you can freeze it, too.

What does almond flour bread taste like?

Full disclosure here – low carb breads will never taste exactly like white bread or sourdough. You CAN taste the almond in almond flour bread. I think it has a pleasantly nutty and ever so slightly sweet flavour.

This recipe contains psyllium husks. Psyllium does not only help with the texture, but also makes your entirely grain free loaf taste a bit like whole-wheat bread. Last but not least, psyllium is a fantastic source of fibre!

But here is the difference between this keto bread recipe and the many others you can find online:

This almond flour bread does not taste eggy!!

Some keto bread recipes use as many as 7 eggs to help bind the dough. The result is a distinctive egg taste and weird spongy texture, which many people dislike (including myself).

I used only 4 eggs in this recipe. And to prevent ANY eggy taste, I omitted 2 of the egg yolks, using only 2 egg yolks in the recipe. It works so well! This almond flour bread is fluffy and not spongy at all.

And there’s one more secret ingredient that helps this bread have a texture that resembles regular bread: xanthan gum. Low carb bread lacks the gluten which occurs in wheat, which can make it crumbly. The xanthan gum gives grain free bread a stronger structure and a better crust.

How to make fluffy almond flour bread:

1.) Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add 2 additional egg whites. The recipe works best if the eggs are room temperature. Whisk the eggs and egg whites for about a minute until frothy.

Tip: Reserve the leftover yolks for a homemade mayonnaise!

2.) Add the rest of the ingredients – the psyllium husks, almond flour, melted butter, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt and warm water.

Tip: If you don’t have xanthan gum, use more baking powder instead.

3.) Blend until you have a smooth dough. Don’t over-blend!

4.) Fill the dough into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. If you don’t use a silicone loaf pan line ALL SIDES with parchment paper so the bread will release easily. Smooth the top, but don’t press down too much – keep as much air in the dough as possible. Bake at 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean!

Is this almond flour bread recipe good for sandwiches?

Absolutely! If you use a small 1 pound loaf pan , you will end up with a perfect sandwich bread / toast shape. (If you use a regular 9 x 5 inch loaf pan your bread will still taste great, but will end up flatter.)

(FYI: The loaf pan in the image above is a large 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. It’s the pan I used in the video for my first loaf. If you use a small loaf pan, the dough will fill the entire pan. The loaves in the images and the one shown at the end of the video are made using a small loaf pan.)

You can store your bread on the kitchen counter for a couple of days or up to a week in the fridge. I like to pre-slice my bread loaves and store them in the freezer. This way I can simply pop a slice in the toaster whenever I want one!

Recipe Notes:

I have made this recipe with both very fine almond flour and with coarser ground almonds / almond meal. Both work well. The coarser your almond flour is, the more rustic and “country-style” your bread will be.

I used whole psyllium husks in this recipe. The term is slightly confusing – they actually are not whole at all, but look like little thin sticks. If you want to use psyllium husk powder instead, you need to HALVE the amount stated.

Make sure you have an eye on your almond flour bread when it’s in the toaster! It browns quicker than wheat bread.

Recipe Notes

You can use a regular 9 x 5 inch loaf pan for this almond flour bread recipe. It will come out a bit flatter than your regular toast slice though.

Low carb bread is filling and slices don't need to be the same size as regular wheat bread. That's why I purchased a small loaf pan like this for low carb baking. It's half the size of a regular loaf pan.  

Check after 35 minutes - if the top of the bread starts browning too much, cover it with a piece of aluminium paper. This will prevent the top from getting too dark / burning.
