Calories: 207kcal
Ingredients
Bread:
- 5 eggs yolks and whites separated into 2 separate bowls
- ¼ cup 48g classic monk fruit sweetener
- ½ cup 56g coconut flour
- ⅓ cup 76g butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons 28g plain Greek yogurt
- Juice from ½ medium-sized lemon ~24mL
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¾ teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup ~113g fresh blueberries
Optional Topping:
- 1 cup 227g plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9.5″ x 5″ nonstick loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set bowl aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add egg yolks and monk fruit sweetener and, using an electric mixer, mix together until pale in color.
- To same bowl, add remaining ingredients excluding blueberries and, using electric mixer, mix again until ingredients are fully incorporated. Pour mixture into bowl of whipped egg whites before adding blueberries. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold mixture, being careful not to overly do so, which will result in the mixture deflating.
- Using a rubber spatula coated in nonstick cooking spray, scrape dough into prepared loaf pan and spread into even layer. Transfer pan to oven to bake until a toothpick can be inserted into bread and come out cleanly, about 55 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and allow bread to cool slightly before removing bread from pan by pulling on edges of parchment paper. Transfer baked bread to sit atop a wire rack at room temperature to cool and fully firm up. Then, using a rubber spatula, frost top of bread with Greek yogurt before slicing and serving.
Notes
If You Prefer Sweeter Bread: Use ⅓ cup (64g) monk fruit sweetener.
Where Monk Fruit Sweetener Can Be Purchased: Monk fruit sweetener is often available at grocery stores, especially specialty food stores and Costco. I purchase mine online and have it shipped to me.
Net Carbs: Per serving with the yogurt topping included, 1 slice of bread contains 4.9 grams of net carbs. Without the yogurt topping, 1 slice contains 4 grams of net carbs.
Room Temperature Storage: Store with a clean muslin cloth in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer Storage: Store wrapped in parchment paper, then place in an airtight storage container or storage bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
