Ingredients
  

Base
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour fine texture
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.25 cup psyllium husk powder
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
Moisture and Binding
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 0.25 cup solid coconut oil, melted
  • 0.5 cup warm water

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom of an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Beat the eggs in a large bowl using a hand mixer on high speed until the volume doubles and the eggs look light and frothy.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well to blend evenly.
  4. Gradually beat the dry mixture into the eggs. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in the melted coconut oil until fully absorbed. Then slowly add the warm water and beat again until the batter is thick and dough-like.
  6. Transfer to the loaf pan and shape the top into a smooth, rounded finish.
  7. Bake for 55 to 70 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean. Cover loosely with foil if browning too fast.
  8. Cool completely in the pan before slicing to avoid a gummy interior.

Notes

Always use room temperature eggs for better rise. Measure almond flour using the scoop and level method. For a less eggy taste, use 6 egg whites instead of 4 whole eggs. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze slices with parchment paper between them.
