Keto Peanut Butter Bread

This keto peanut butter bread is so moist yet light and fluffy - and it comes together in minutes! It's a wonderful low carb breakfast choice or afternoon treat. Gluten free, sugar free and only 3.4g net carbs per slice.

If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll know how much I love peanut butter. I have a TON of peanut butter recipe on my website!

Well, there's always room for one more, right? Because this healthy peanut butter bread was definitely still missing in my repertoire.

I think you're going to love this sweet bread recipe. It is

• quick and easy to make - only 10 minutes prep
• packed with peanut flavour
• low in carbs and gluten free!

It tastes great all on its own, but you can toast and butter it like a "real" bread for a luscious sugar free breakfast. Or, think of it as a loaf cake and enjoy a slice in the afternoon with a cuppa!

Ingredients

You only need 8 simple ingredients for this flourless peanut butter bread recipe. All are low carb cupboard staples.

• Peanut butter - Ideally, peanut butter should contain just one ingredient - peanuts. I like Manilife or Meridian. Alternatively, you can also make your own peanut butter.
• Eggs
• Almond flour - I used ground almonds, which are equivalent to regular almond flour in the US. Super-fine almond flour will also work.
• Coconut flour - It's always best to measure this with a a scale rather than cups because coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture.
• Almond milk - Check that it is unsweetened.
• Granulated Sweetener - I used a granulated erythritol monk fruit sweetener blend. Golden erythritol would also work, as would erythritol stevia blends, xylitol or allulose. If using xylitol, be aware it's toxic to dogs.
• Baking powder - can be replaced with 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• Sea salt - Add a pinch of salt if your peanut butter is unsalted.

Instructions

This section contains step-by-step instructions and photos that show how to make this recipe. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line a bread pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Using an electric mixer or a food processor, blend the eggs until fluffy, light in colour and double the size - about 2 minutes.

Step 3: Add the sweetener, peanut butter and almond milk and continue blending until a smooth batter.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining dry ingredients - almond flour, coconut flour, salt and baking powder. Then, add them to the wet ingredients and mix until well-combined.

Wait 3 minutes to let the coconut flour absorb the moisture. Now, check the consistency of your batter. It should be soft.

If your peanut butter was very runny, you may need to add an additional tablespoon coconut flour. If it was firmer, you may need to add a splash of almond milk.

Step 5: Fill the batter into the prepared bread pan and bake for about 60 minutes.

Let cool completely before slicing.

Katrin's Top Tips

Tip #1: The correct texture of peanut butter is important for this recipe. Make sure that it is runny and not hard. The dry, firm bits from the bottom of the pot are not what we're looking for here! Stir the pot well before using.

Tip #2: Check all keto bread during baking. Once it is golden brown, loosely cover the top with aluminium foil to prevent burning.

FAQs

Recipe Variations

It's possible to replace the peanut butter with other nut butters such as almond butter or with sunflower seed butter.

Using only almond flour: Use 1 ¾ cup or 175 grams of almond flour and omit the coconut flour.

Using only coconut flour: Use ⅓ cup plus ¼ cup or 70 grams of coconut flour and omit the almond flour.

Keto chocolate peanut butter bread: Create a chocolate swirl by taking ½ of the batter and adding 2 tablespoon cocoa powder. Then, follow the instructions in my Peanut Butter Brownies recipe on how to create the marble effect.

Keto peanut butter bread stays fresh at room temperature for 2 days and in the fridge for about 6 days.
