Keto Peanut Butter Bread
Keto Peanut Butter Bread combines almond and coconut flours with runny peanut butter and eggs to create a soft, low-carb bread. The recipe balances moistness and structure by carefully adjusting the batter's consistency based on peanut butter texture. It offers a dense yet tender crumb with a nutty flavor, suitable for those on a keto diet or anyone avoiding gluten or grains. The bread can be sliced for sandwiches or toasts, providing a versatile base for sweet or savory toppings.
Ingredients
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup / 250g peanut butter runny, not firm ***see notes
- ½ cup / 120ml almond milk
- ½ cup / 100g granulated sweetener
- 1 cup / 100g almond flour
- ¼ cup / 30g coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt only if your peanut butter is unsalted, sea salt
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Using an electric mixer or a food processor, blend the eggs until fluffy, light in colour and double the size - about 2 minutes.
- Add the sweetener, peanut butter and almond milk and continue blending until a smooth batter.
- 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.
- Fill the batter into the prepared bread pan and bake for about 60 minutes. Check the bread after 45-50 minutes. If it is golden brown, loosely cover the top with aluminium foil to prevent burning.
- Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use runny peanut butter containing only peanuts; stir well before measuring to avoid dry parts.
- Adjust batter consistency by adding coconut flour if too loose, or almond milk if too firm, before baking.
- This bread yields around 12 slices, with about 4 grams net carbs each.
- Omitting sweetener creates a savory version without altering the recipe's structure.
