Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour blanched
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or other keto sweetener
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Loaf Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed, creating a uniform dry mixture with no lumps visible.
    1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup erythritol or other keto sweetener, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined and slightly thickened.
    4 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or spoon, fold gently until the batter is smooth and homogeneous, with no streaks of flour remaining.
  5. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
