Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (240g) almond flour, blanched and finely ground
  • 6 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup (60ml) coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy lifting.
  2. Separate the eggs carefully into two bowls, keeping whites in one and yolks in the other. Room temperature eggs whip better.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir to blend evenly.
  5. In the yolk bowl, whisk together egg yolks, melted coconut oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and honey or maple syrup (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until fully combined. The batter will be somewhat thick.
  7. Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently with the spatula.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. The loaf should spring back when lightly pressed.
  10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Whip egg whites to stiff peaks for the best fluffiness. Fold egg whites gently to preserve air. Use finely ground blanched almond flour for best texture. If bread browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let bread cool completely before slicing to avoid gummy texture. Apple cider vinegar reacts with baking soda to help rise; lemon juice can be a substitute.
