Wow! It’s another
beautiful day…. Guess what was running through my mind during the weekend A
KETO ALMOND BREAD. A lot of us can’t just do without bread right but do
you know you can eat bread with little or no sugar? For me its just the perfect breakfast and dinner.....
Almond flour has a
nutritional advantage over many processed flours in that it contains the same
nutrient profile as whole almonds. Whole or ground, almonds have more nutrients
per serving than any other tree nut. The terms almond flour and meal are often
used interchangeably. Almond meal is coarse and prepared from whole almonds
with skins. Made from blanched almonds after the skin's been removed, almond
flour has a finer texture.
Ok so as I said earlier, I
will be discussing the ingredients, steps in baking an almond bread and its
benefits… So sit back!!!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
- 6 Large eggs Separated
- 4 tbsp. Butter melted
/ mayonnaise
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar (NOT COMPULSORY THO)
- 1 pinch salt
Steps in baking an almond
bread
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
- Add Cream of
Tartar to the whites and beat until soft peaks are achieved.
- Mix the egg yolks, 1/3 of the beaten egg whites, melted
butter or mayonnaise, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until
combined. This will be a lumpy thick dough until the whites are added.
- Add the remaining 2/3 of the egg whites and gently
process until fully uniformed. Be careful not to overmix as this is what
gives the bread its volume!
- Pour mixture into a buttered pan or a ceramic dish. Bake
for 30 minutes.
N.B: You could bake
inside an oven or a microwave….
Consuming
a diet rich in monounsaturated fats, like those found in almond flour, can help
lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of blood clots and lower blood pressure. The
American Heart Association recognizes that whole and ground almonds meet total
fat, cholesterol, sodium and vitamin requirements, qualifying them as
heart-healthy food. Almonds and almond flour can display the AHA Heart-Check
mark symbol on product packaging.
Almond
flour is an excellent grain-free baking option. Its protein and fat content
makes it an ideal option for quick breads, muffins, cookies and bars. The
protein, fat and fiber in almond flour will also contribute to satiety, the
feeling of fullness between meals, which can assist with weight management. In
many recipes, almond flour can replace wheat flour in a one-to-one ratio for
seamless substitution. Store almond flour in the refrigerator to preserve
freshness between uses.
