Ingredients:
1 ½ cups almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano (or mixed herbs)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
4 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/4 cup melted butter or olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano (or mixed herbs). Stir well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, and melted butter (or olive oil). Once combined, pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Add Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer) into the batter, folding it in gently.
Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Description:
This Low Carb Herb & Cheese Quick Bread is rich, savory, and packed with flavor. The combination of almond and coconut flour makes the bread soft and moist, while the herbs add a refreshing aroma. The cheese brings a deliciously gooey texture and a hint of saltiness, making this bread a perfect side for any meal. Whether you’re looking for a keto-friendly snack or a bread substitute for sandwiches, this recipe has you covered.
Tips:
Cheese Variations: You can use a combination of cheeses like mozzarella, parmesan, or even goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
Herb Variations: Feel free to mix up the herbs based on your preference. Thyme, rosemary, or basil would be wonderful substitutes for oregano.
Texture Boost: For an extra crunchy texture, sprinkle some seeds (like sunflower or sesame) on top of the bread before baking.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to a month.
Extra Flavor: If you want more of a “garlic bread” flavor, add minced garlic or garlic powder to the batter.
Corrections:
Ensure that the almond flour and coconut flour measurements are correct. Sometimes, coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so the recipe may need a little more liquid or fewer dry ingredients depending on the brand of flour used.
Double-check that all ingredients, especially the baking powder, are fresh to ensure proper leavening and rise.
