What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cup blanched almond flour
- 0.25 cup psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 4 whole large eggs
- 0.25 cup melted butter
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Pan
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined and free of lumps.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and apple cider vinegar together until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Mix and Transfer
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, uniform batter forms. Transfer batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 5: Bake the Bread
Bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- sour cream → full-fat Greek yogurt for similar moisture
- butter → coconut oil for a dairy-free option
- psyllium husk powder → ground flaxseed for added omega-3s
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Do not use coarse almond flour as it will produce a gritty dense loaf
- Do not slice the bread before it has cooled or it will crumble apart
- Do not skip the apple cider vinegar as it helps the bread rise properly
