Ingredients

  • 5 eggs (whites and yolks separated)
  • 6 tbsp coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp coconut milk (full-fat)

  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine the Perfect Keto Collagen, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and sea salt.
  3. Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg yolks, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  4. Step 4: In another clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold the dry ingredients and the wet mixture into the whipped egg whites. Mix carefully until fully incorporated.
  6. Step 6: Brush a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  7. Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes.
  8. Step 8: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.

Tips & Variations

  • Use room temperature eggs for better volume when whipping the whites.
  • For added flavor, consider folding in herbs or spices like rosemary or garlic powder.
  • If you don’t have Perfect Keto Collagen, collagen peptides can be used as a substitute.
  • Make sure to cool the bread completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.

Storage

Store the bread in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze slices in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Reheat by toasting or microwaving briefly to restore softness.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of coconut flour?

This recipe relies on coconut flour’s unique absorbency and texture. Using regular flour will change the consistency and may not yield the same keto-friendly result.

Why do I need to whip the egg whites separately?

Whipping the egg whites adds air and volume, giving the bread a light, fluffy texture despite being grain-free and low carb.
