Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (small amount for flavor)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure no lumps remain and ingredients are well combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, erythritol, and mashed banana until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to create a consistent batter without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula and smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift the loaf out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements to ensure the perfect texture and consistency.
- Don't skip sifting the dry ingredients - this prevents lumps and creates a smoother batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the bread dense and tough.
- The small amount of banana provides just enough flavor without adding too many carbs.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of melted butter or coconut oil to the wet ingredients.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it set and maintain its structure.
- If you want a more pronounced banana flavor, consider adding a few drops of banana extract.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and gently warm before serving for the best taste and texture.
