how to make Zero Carb Yogurt Bread
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder (for texture and structure)
- Optional: ½ cup finely ground almond flour (adds structure without raising carbs significantly)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, and melted butter (or coconut oil) until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder. If using almond flour, stir it in now. Mix until the batter is well-combined and slightly thickened.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35–45 minutes. The bread is done when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing — this ensures the best structure and prevents crumbling.
