Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they become light and slightly frothy. This helps incorporate air and create a fluffier texture.
- Add the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and erythritol to the eggs. Whisk until the sweetener is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures even distribution of ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the casserole dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared buttered baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes. This allows it to set and makes cutting easier.
- Cut into 6 equal servings and serve warm. Optional: Top with sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Sifting is Key: Always sift your dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure a consistent, fluffy casserole.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold ingredients to maintain a light, airy consistency. Overmixing can lead to a dense, tough texture.
- Grease Generously: Use plenty of butter when greasing the baking dish to prevent sticking and add rich flavor.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with sugar-free toppings like berries, sugar-free syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to keep it keto-friendly.
- Check for Doneness: Use the toothpick test - if it comes out clean, your casserole is perfectly baked.
- Let It Rest: Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes after baking for easier cutting and better texture.
