Almond Flour Bread (Keto)
I absolutely fell in love with this bread. I have recently tried to be more gluten free. Not because of any specific reason but have come to the realization that my body responds better to it. I have not eliminated gluten completely but overall, trying to introduce more healthy keto and low carb recipes into life.
This was a recipe we found online and just had to try. One of the hardest items to eliminate from a Greeks diet is bread. It was always on the table growing up. This bread is an amazing substitute. Super simple to make and really delicious when you ‘dress it up’.
A great tip for this bread is to slice and toast it in the mini oven. I used this for my sandwiches and loved it. We also had it with butter and honey and that was delicious too. Today I’m going to make myself an avocado toast.
Two key points to make about this recipe are make sure you incorporate the apple cider vinegar in the batter or else the loaf will not rise properly. Also, the recipe calls for an 8 or 8.5 inch loaf pan. I haven’t tried it with a 9 inch so I’m guessing the time might be a bit longer and the bread will come out a bit flatter in height.
I also want to include that the bread had an omelette type of smell (which is to be expected since there are 5 eggs included in the recipe) once it came out of the oven. It does go away once you let it cool and refrigerate it though. Store this in an air tight container in the fridge. You can also individually slice, wrap and store this bread in the freezer.

Almond Flour Bread
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 5 tbs olive oil (or melted butter or coconut oil)
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1¾ cups almond flour, super fine
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat your eggs. Whisk in the oil, maple syrup and Apple Cider Vinegar (don't skip the vinegar or the bread will not rise properly) until smooth. Next mix in the almond flour, baking soda and salt until incorporated and the batter is uniform and thick. Transfer to your loaf pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden on top.
- Cool the loaf 10 minutes in the pan, remove to a cooling rack and cool another 20 minutes. Slice and enjoy as a sandwich bread, avocado toast or with honey and butter.

This is very good bread. I’ve made it a few times already but I found I have to double the recipe to get my loaf to rise as high as yours Stella. I put about 2.25 cups in the loaf pan and the remainder dough I make into 2 large “cupcakes”. The loaf and cupcake pans MUST be lined with both parchment paper and oil or you cannot get the baked good out of the pans.
Hello from Slower Lower Delaware,
I made this today and it was fantastic. I did have the larger loaf pan and baked it for 35 minutes and came out perfect. Thank you for all your great recipes.
Hi Karen, thank you for trying that and I love the feedback here too!
Haven’t tried the bread yet but it was super easy to make and low on the dishes meaning I didn’t have a lot to wash or clean up after which is always a PLUS on weekdays! I added about 1/2 teaspoon of chia seeds, flax seeds and hemp seeds to the batter and then a few sprinkles of hemp and flax seeds on top and some Italian seasoning, again havent tasted it but it looks YUMMY and was super easy to whip up!! thank you for sharing!!
Vegan option?
Can you use a bread machine to make this recipe?
I have read that we can use ground almonds instead of almond flour. I e use this swap for other breads so hope I can do so for this.
My question is, does the maple syrup have a purpose other than as a sweetener?
I am T2 diabetes and cannot have syrup at all. Will it affect the bake if I omit the flour?
Can I use coconut flour in place of almond flour?
Hi Lonnie, you cant do that here – it wont work. Sorry!
Can you substitute anything else for the almond flour/ something with less carbs? Would protein powder mix work?
Thanks!
Hi Eva, almond flour is low carb! I havent tried this recipe with any other flour so I cannot say for sure – I’m sorry!!
I made this almond flour bread 1-07-25; so easy and delicious toasted; will keep and make again. (used agave syrup as I didn’t have maple). Thank you!
Turned out perfect! Thanks for the recipe!
can you use honey in place of maple syrup?
can you flavor it with spices and cheese?
Yes! Great idea.. some grated parmesan or shredded mozzarella! And your favorite spices – go for it!
Thank you! I made this and it tastes amazing, both toasted or not. Love it. I am corn and gluten intolerant and it is so hard to find bread. I usually eat rice bread but as it is the holidays my order is going to be late. This is a godsend.

HI Michelle, I’m so glad you loved the bread! Thank you for the kind words!
I have tried 5 or 6 almond flour recipes since my doctor said I need to go low carb. This is by far my absolute favorite. I can make and enjoy this every week and still keep my doctor happy.
Hi Tina, That’s so awesome! I’m glad you found a winner in the recipe!
made this tonight and just drizzled a little honey on a slice it was delicious, thanks for sharing I will definitely be making again and am going to try some other suggestions from the comments like maple syrup substitute and adding seasonings yummy 😋
