This Zero Carb Yogurt Bread is a delicious and healthy low-carb alternative to traditional bread, made with almond flour and Greek yogurt.

Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (optional, for richness)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (optional, for structure and texture)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth and fully combined. If using olive oil or melted butter, add it now and mix well.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder thoroughly.
- Form Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. If using psyllium husk powder, incorporate it at this stage and mix until well blended.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. The top should be golden brown and the bread should have risen nicely.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice the bread and enjoy as toast, sandwiches, or with your favorite spread.
Notes
- Using psyllium husk powder improves the bread’s structure and texture but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Garlic powder adds a subtle flavor, but you can adjust or skip it based on your taste preference.
- Ensure the bread cools completely before slicing to maintain its shape and prevent crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
