Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder (for structure)
- Optional: ½ cup finely ground almond flour (for extra structure; skip for strict zero carb)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, and melted butter or coconut oil until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk. If using almond flour, fold it in now. Mix until slightly thickened.
- Pour & Smooth: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake 35–45 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool Completely: Let the loaf cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool fully before slicing for best texture.
