Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- Plant-based yogurt – 1 cup
- Eggs – 3 large
- Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
Dry Ingredients
- Almond flour – 1 1/2 cups
- Natural gelling agent – 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder (natural) – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with a little olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based yogurt, eggs, and olive oil until smooth and creamy. This combination forms the moist base of your loaf.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, natural gelling agent, baking powder (natural), and salt. This ensures there are no lumps and allows even mixing.
- Bring It All Together: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until fully combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable, with a consistency similar to traditional quick bread batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool slightly before removing from the pan.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. This helps the texture to set properly and makes slicing much easier.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help everything blend smoothly and ensure even rising in the oven.
- Do not overmix; stir just enough to combine ingredients to keep the bread tender.
- Bake time may vary; ovens differ, so start checking around 35 minutes to avoid dryness.
- Choose thick plant-based yogurt for best moisture and texture.
- Wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh longer.
