Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) of melted unsalted butter or ghee or melted coconut oil
- ½ cup (50 g) coconut flour
- 1 cup (100 g) almond flour
- ½ cup (50 g) plain psyllium powder
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar substitute
- ½ teaspoon (3 g) sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons (6 g) baking powder
- ½ cup (75 g) sesame seeds, white or black or a combination of both
- ½ cup (65 g) chopped pecans
- ½ cup (75 g) raw golden whole flaxseeds
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
- 6 eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) of coconut or almond milk
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Leave an overhang of about 2 inches (5 cm) to easily lift the loaf out of the pan once baked.
- Melt the butter or coconut oil and allow it to cool. (If using coconut oil, opt for refined for a neutral taste.)
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, add all the dry ingredients, including the nuts and seeds. Combine well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating with an electric mixer on a low setting. Make sure to mix well between each addition.
- Pour in the coconut or almond milk and the cooled melted butter or coconut oil. Mix the batter well until fully incorporated but do not overmix. The batter will be quite thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 weeks.

FAQs
1. Can I use other types of flour instead of almond and coconut flour?
While almond and coconut flour are integral to maintaining the Keto aspect, substituting them with other gluten-free flours may alter the texture and taste. It’s best to stick to the recommended flours for best results.
2. How can I store Keto High Fiber Bread for maximum freshness?
Store your bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to keep it longer, slice it and freeze it in a Ziploc bag for up to 3 weeks. Simply toast or reheat slices as needed.
3. Is this bread suitable for a vegan diet?
This recipe contains eggs, so it is not vegan-friendly. However, you can try substituting the eggs with a vegan egg substitute like flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water, but be aware it may alter the texture slightly.
