Ingredients List
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder (not baking soda)
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup plain natural yogurt, room temperature
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with olive oil.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir to ensure everything is well-mixed and there are no lumps.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, olive oil, and yogurt until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is fully incorporated into a thick batter.
Step 5: Transfer to Loaf Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Slice
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice into 8 pieces.
Additional Notes
- If you don’t have xanthan gum, you can substitute it with psyllium husk powder or omit it entirely, though the texture may be slightly different.
- You can add herbs, garlic powder, or cheese to the dough for added flavor.
- Make sure all wet ingredients are at room temperature to help the dough come together better.

Ingredient Details & Substitutions
Almond Flour
- Almond flour is the key to a low-carb, gluten-free loaf. It provides a moist texture without the grains. You can try coconut flour, but the texture will change and you’ll need to adjust the liquid ratios.
Xanthan Gum
- Helps the bread hold together. You can omit it if you prefer, but it helps give the bread more structure and elasticity.
Yogurt
- Adds moisture and a slight tang, helping the bread stay soft. Use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture.
