Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it really zero carb?
No. Greek yogurt and almond flour both contain carbohydrates. This recipe is better described as low-carb.

Q: Can I use coconut flour?
Not as a 1:1 substitute. Coconut flour absorbs much more liquid. For this recipe, about ¼ cup coconut flour would replace 1 cup almond flour, but additional eggs or liquid are usually needed.

Q: Why didn’t my bread rise?
Possible reasons include:

  • Expired baking powder
  • Overmixing
  • Incorrect oven temperature
  • Batter sitting too long before baking

Q: Why is my bread wet in the middle?
It likely needs more baking time. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly and continue baking until fully set.

Q: Can I make muffins?
Yes. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes.

Q: Can I toast it?
Yes. This bread toasts very well and is excellent with butter, cream cheese, or avocado.

Q: Is it gluten-free?
Yes, provided all ingredients (especially baking powder) are certified gluten-free.

Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
You can try a thick dairy-free Greek-style yogurt, but the texture and flavor may differ.
