Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a little olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are foamy, then add the Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Mix well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gradually add the water, stirring continuously, until you achieve a thick but pourable batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve this nutritious almond bread with your favorite Mediterranean toppings, such as hummus, olives, or a fresh tomato salad.
