Keto Cheddar Quick Bread

Keto Cheddar Quick Bread

Savory, fluffy, and sturdy—perfect for toasting or sandwiches.

  • Prep time: 15 mins

  • Cook time: 40–50 mins

  • Yield: 1 Loaf (approx. 10–12 slices)

Ingredients

Dry Team:

  • 2 cups Almond flour (super-fine)

  • 1 tsp Baking powder

  • ½ tsp Baking soda

  • ½ tsp Salt

  • ½ tsp Garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp Ground psyllium husk powder (this is the secret to a “bread-like” chew)

Wet Team:

  • 3 Large eggs

  • ¼ cup Heavy cream

  • ¼ cup Sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

  • ¼ cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled

The Star:

  • 1 ½ cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (plus extra for the crust)

  • Optional: 1 tbsp fresh chives or jalapeño slices for a kick.


Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the bread out later.

  2. Mix Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and psyllium husk. Ensure there are no large clumps.

  3. Mix Wet: In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs well. Whisk in the heavy cream, sour cream, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth.

  4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a thick, uniform batter forms.

  5. Add Cheese: Fold in 1 ¼ cups of the shredded cheddar (and chives/jalapeños if using) until evenly distributed.

  6. Transfer: Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan. The batter will be thick, so use your spatula to smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheese over the top.

  7. Bake: Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.

    • Test: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean, and the top should be golden brown and firm to the touch.

  8. The Cooling Rule: This is the hardest part! Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and move it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before slicing. Keto breads use eggs and cheese for structure; if you cut it while hot, it may seem moist or “eggy.”
