Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1½ cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning
Why these ingredients work:
Eggs provide structure and lift, cream cheese adds moisture and richness, and almond flour keeps the loaf tender while remaining keto-friendly.
Ingredient Notes
- Eggs: Room-temperature eggs blend better and create fluffier bread.
- Cream Cheese: Full-fat versions deliver the best texture.
- Almond Flour: Use finely ground blanched almond flour for smooth slices.
- Vinegar: Reacts with baking powder for extra rise — no tangy taste remains.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Heat your oven to 350°F. Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Blend the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add softened cream cheese and melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy — no lumps in sight.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Create the Batter
Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add apple cider vinegar and optional seasonings. The batter should be thick but pourable.
5. Pour & Smooth
Transfer batter into prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is beautifully golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool Before Slicing
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Slice only when fully cooled to prevent crumbling.
