Zero Carb Yogurt Bread (Printer-friendly)

A light and fluffy bread alternative made with Greek yogurt and eggs. Perfect for low-carb or keto lifestyles.

# What you'll need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened
02 - 4 large eggs

→ Dry Ingredients

03 - 2 tablespoons coconut flour
04 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Optional Additions

06 - 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar for enhanced rise
07 - 1 tablespoon sesame or poppy seeds for topping

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk Greek yogurt and eggs until fully incorporated and slightly frothy, about 30-45 seconds.
03 - In a separate small bowl, sift together coconut flour, baking powder, and salt to eliminate lumps and ensure even distribution.
04 - Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until completely smooth and no dry pockets remain. Allow batter to rest for 2-3 minutes so coconut flour can fully absorb moisture.
05 - If using apple cider vinegar for extra fluffiness, fold it gently into the rested batter until just combined.
06 - Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top surface evenly. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
07 - Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should spring back when lightly touched.
08 - Allow bread to cool completely in the pan before removing. Once cooled, slice into 8 even portions. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator for up to 5 days.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is shockingly close to real bread, but with only 1 gram of carbs per slice
  • You can throw it together in ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have
  • It actually toasts up beautifully, which I thought was impossible for low carb bread
02 -
  • Coconut flour needs those few minutes of rest time to absorb moisture or your bread will be gummy in the middle
  • Cutting into this bread while it is still warm is tempting but it will crumble, so please wait for full cooling
  • The vinegar is not strictly necessary but I have found it makes a noticeable difference in the fluffiness
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients make a noticeable difference in how smoothly everything combines
  • Do not try to substitute almond flour for coconut flour, they behave completely differently
