Keto Coconut Flour Bread
This Keto Coconut Flour Bread is a low-carb, grain-free loaf made with coconut flour, whey protein powder, eggs, yogurt, and butter. It has a dense yet tender texture, achieved by folding whipped egg whites into a coconut flour-based batter. Baking in a small loaf pan yields golden bread slices suitable for keto and low-carb diets. The bread toasts well and provides a satisfying substitute to traditional wheat bread.
Ingredients
- 6 egg large, room temperature, white
- 2 egg yolk
- ½ cup / 60g coconut flour sifted
- 4 tbsp / 24g whey protein powder
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup / 60g PLAIN yogurt or Greek, room temperature
- ¼ cup / 55g butter melted, then cooled
- 2 tbsp water lukewarm
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line a small bread pan (1 lb volume) with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Take your time with this - it should take about 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 2 egg yolks, the yoghurt, butter and water for about 2 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Now add the dry ingredients - coconut flour, whey protein powder, baking powder and salt - alongside ¼ of the stiff egg whites. Beat with the mixer until just combined.
- Using a spatula, fold in the remainder of the egg whites until you have a smooth dough. Don't overmix to ensure you're keeping in the air bubbles!
- Fill the dough in the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 35 minutes until golden on top or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- This bread contains about 9g net carbs per slice and yields approximately 14 slices.
- Toast carefully as coconut flour browns quickly to avoid burning.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze sliced for up to 3 months.
- Use leftover egg yolks to make keto mayonnaise, sugar-free custard, or keto rice pudding.
