Flourless Keto Bread

Have you been following the primal/paleo way and avoiding all the grains?  Do you sometimes just crave a slice of bread or a sandwich for lunch.  This bread will do the trick without causing you to derail off your eating plan.  Grain-free, low carb and delicious!  The key is the psyllium husk powder which comes from the husk of the psyllium plant seeds.  It is naturally gluten-free and is a great source of fiber.  It can be used as an egg replacement in recipes as well as a flour replacement as in the case with this bread recipe.

Note:  You can use 1 cup of tahini instead of half and half or vice versa, 1 cup of nut butter.

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1 tablespoon ACV (I use Bragg’s)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (can purchase on Amazon)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
• sunflower seeds (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda and the ACV.  (It will bubble up.)
3. Add eggs and beat with electric mixer for 2-3 minutes or until frothy.
4. Add the tahini, almond butter, psyllium husk and coconut oil.  Beat until well incorporated.
5. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.  Top with sunflower seeds, if desired.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into center of bread.
7. Transfer bread to a cooling rack.
8. Once completely cooled, wrap or place in ziplock bag and store in the refrigerator.  Slice as needed.
