Frequently Asked Questions

Is this truly zero carb?

No. Greek yogurt and almond flour both contain carbohydrates. This is very low-carb, not truly zero-carb.

Can I use coconut flour?

Not directly. Coconut flour absorbs much more liquid. Substitute with about ¼ cup coconut flour and add 1–2 extra eggs.

Can I use regular yogurt?

Greek yogurt is strongly recommended. Regular yogurt is thinner and may produce a dense or wet loaf.

Why did my bread sink?

Possible causes:

• Baking powder expired.
• Oven temperature too low.
• Bread removed before fully baked.
• Overmixed batter.

Why is my bread crumbly?

Almond flour breads are naturally delicate. Xanthan gum or an extra egg helps improve structure.

Can I make muffins?

Yes. Divide into a muffin tin and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes.

Is this keto?

Yes. With unsweetened Greek yogurt, it fits most ketogenic diets due to its low net carbohydrate content.

Can I freeze it?

Yes. Slice first, wrap individual slices, and freeze for up to 3 months.

What can I serve with it?

• Butter
• Cream cheese
• Avocado
• Eggs
• Smoked salmon
• Sugar-free jam
• Peanut or almond butter (if it fits your diet)

Can I add seeds?

Yes. Chia, flax, sesame, sunflower, or pumpkin seeds all work well.
