Keto Bread ! Yes You Can Have Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Again!

-
When moving to the Keto lifestyle, I knew a factor of making this sustainable is learning a substitute for bread. I tried some that tasted too eggy, and I don't know about you but I hated the taste. Eggs are already very hard for me to eat, so I needed a bread recipe that can pull me through and keep my on the right track! Another factor when making food, is the ease of the recipe. If I have more than 6 steps, I have to weigh its convenience. Here are 5 steps to making yummy Keto Bread, and one of those steps is turning on the oven.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 Cup of Butter (microwave in a microwave safe bowl to melt it)
  • 2 Cups of Almond Flour
  • 5 Eggs (you can add 1 more, but I don't enjoy the eggy taste when it comes to breads)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons of Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthum Gum (this is not 100% necessary, but it does improve the bread texture)
  • Pinch to 1/2 teaspoon of Salt
  • Cooking Spray
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 355 F.
  2. Mix all ingredients well in a bowl. Once it thickens up, you are done mixing!
  3. Spray a Bread Loaf pan with Cooking Spray (I use the butter flavor).
  4. Pour the mixture into the Bread Loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove and check that if sticking a pick in the bread, it comes out clean. If it has bread mixture, bake for an additional 5 minutes, and repeat.

Macros: Whole Loaf = 2,039 calories, 197.7 g fat, 41.7 g net carbs, 54.96 g protein
If cut into 16 slices, each slice would be= 127.4375 calories, 12.35625 g fat, 2.60625  g net carbs, 3.435 g protein

Once you get the base of bread down, then you can really have fun! Add cinnamon for a sweet bread, or garlic and cheese for a dinner style bread.

Keto Costco Ultimate Shopping List

I love Costco for Keto friendly foods! Bulk size and alot of the time you pay regular sized prices! It may be a big bill up front, but in the long run you will save. I would say that’s a win-win! This is going to be an extensive list, but because products are ever changing and sometimes available for certain times, all of these may not be there when you go. Some pictures also have prices, which may be different at your store! Here is a picture of my haul my patient husband and I did! Total spent was $100! Before we get started you will need to know what type of Keto you follow. Check out this link:  What type of Keto are you?  These items will all fit under the Dirty Keto definition, but not all will fit under Strict Keto. If you are Strict Keto please check your labels in regards to the ingredients so that you only buy for the plan you are on. First I am going to list my top 11 Costco must haves:  Egg Thins!! These are only 8 calories each! Use them as torti...

Fathead Dough Pastries!

Ready for a pastry that you will love? This recipe will have 3 variations, which I hope will also inspire you to create your own combination. We are first going to make a basic fat head dough, and create a filling! The top left is my peach / cream cheese pastry, I love peach and have been missing the flavor of it. The top right, which is hands down the best of the 3 is strawberry / cream cheese! I could eat this every meal of every day! Lastly the bottom of the bunch, was also my least favorite, I used Lily's Chocolate mixed with cream cheese. It was ... well it was ok. I rather spend my macros on the other two. But I thought I would still share in case you have a better idea and would like to make this better!! *******Disclaimer ******* if you are strict keto (ingredients are clean and you don't eat naughty things), then the fillings, except for the chocolate one will not work for you. You will, however, be able to use the the strawberry filling if you use store bou...
