Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing the top after baking
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the melted butter, heavy cream, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract if using. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a thick, smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread the top evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Step 8
Brush the warm loaf with melted butter to create a rich, glossy finish and extra buttery flavor.
Step 9
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. This helps maintain its structure and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this Keto Butter Loaf warm with butter, cream cheese, or sugar-free jam. It also makes excellent toast for breakfast, delicious grilled cheese sandwiches, garlic bread, or a side with soups and salads.
Storage Tips
Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Refrigerate for up to one week, or freeze individual slices for up to three months. Toast frozen slices directly from the freezer for the best texture.
Recipe Tips
- Use room-temperature eggs for better volume.
- Measure coconut flour carefully, as it absorbs a lot of moisture.
