Ready in 50 minutes
Makes 12 slices
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ cup ghee, melted
- 1-½ cups of almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 + more for topping, tablespoon hemp heart
- 1 + more for topping, tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Whisk the whites with the cream of tartar with an electric beater until its frothy and small peaks form. Add the yolks and ghee and beat for one or two seconds just to combine.
- Carefully fold the almond flour, baking powder, salt, hemp hearts and sesame seeds into the egg mixture.
- Generously grease with cooking oil spray or more ghee an 8 inch by 4 inch rectangular loaf pan. Pour the batter in and level the top out with a spatula. Encrust the top of the batter with a generous helping of hemp heart and sesame seeds, as well as flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes in the middle rack of the oven. When it’s done, poke the loaf with a toothpick or skewer. When it comes out clean, it is done. Let it rest for 5 minutes in the pan. Flip the loaf onto a cutting board or surface and then continue cooling on a wire rack for another 10 minutes.
- Slice into it with a really sharp knife and enjoy!
Tips
- Apply a little elbow grease and use a metal whisk if you don’t have an electric one.
- Beating the whites and the yolks separately, combined with the cream of tartar, are essential in creating the irresistible fluffy white bread like texture that keto-ists miss so dearly
- Use this recipe like you normally would with sliced bread for sandwiches, crostinis, toast or just eat it as is with a pat of room temperature butter
