Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully separate 6 eggs, placing the yolks in a large bowl and the the whites in a medium size bowl.
- Place the 2 whole eggs in the large bowl with the yolks and add the oil. 4. Beat together with a fork or whisk until smooth.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the egg yolk mixture. Stir the mixture with a spatula until well incorporated and set aside.
- Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Use a rubber spatula to transfer ⅓ of the whipped egg whites to the almond mixture and gently fold the batter together.
- Add the next ⅓ of the whites to the batter and fold in until smooth.
- Gently fold in the remaining egg whites just until the batter is smooth and no white streaks remain.
- Line the bottom of an ungreased loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until the top has set and formed a golden crust.
- Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes before running a thin knife along the inside of the pan to release the sides of the loaf. Gently unmold the loaf from the pan and remove the parchment paper on the bottom.
- Let the cake cool at room temperature for 1 hour before slicing.
- Enjoy!

I swapped in unsweetened applesauce for the extra whole eggs, and still ended up with a pleasantly-tasting, dense, close-textured bread. It’s very moist, so I absolutely recommend toasting a slice before you eat it. That helps dry it out and give it more of a crisp bread texture. Next time I’m going to attempt to spice it up with cinnamon and nutmeg.

So i made this using coconut flour instead of almond flour because I’m super allergic to almonds. Here are a few things I learned from it. First thing, coconut flour is WAY more absorbent that almond. So I did half of the recommend amount. I also found that you will need 3 more eggs. Add one to the separated amount, and two eggs for the yolk side.

It definitely tastes better when you toast it. But all low carb bread is going to taste eggy. I like to add Basil, oregano, and garlic powder to add some extra flavor. But it’s by far my favorite low carb bread!
