Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Optional Flavor Add-Ins

Sweet version:
- 1–2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Equipment Needed
- 9×5-inch loaf pan
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or spatula
- Oven
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Greek yogurt
- Eggs
- Melted butter or olive oil
- Apple cider vinegar
Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Add:
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
Do not overmix.
Step 4: Add Flavor (Optional)
Fold in your choice of savory or sweet add-ins depending on preference.
Step 5: Pour into Pan
Transfer batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Tap lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until:
- The top is golden brown
- A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- The loaf feels firm when pressed lightly
If it browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 10–15 minutes.
Step 7: Cool Completely
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
Then remove and cool fully on a wire rack before slicing.
Cooling is important for structure and clean slices.
