Keto Bread Recipe

DIRECTIONS

Do not substitute other protein powders for the whey protein.  

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.  Prepare a 5x9-inch loaf pan with aluminum foil and spray with oil. Alternatively a silicone pan or mold works great. Be sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese with the softened butter until well mixed. Add the oil and coconut milk, blend until mixed then add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the whey protein, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. Pour this mixture into the cream cheese and eggs and fold until fully incorporated. Do not over blend or the recipe may end up too dense.
4. Place a sheet pan on the rack under the bread and bake for 45 minutes, until it is golden brown on the top. Allow to sit in the pan for 10 minutes to cool then carefully remove from the pan to continue cooling on a wire rack. Cut into 10 thick slices, eat immediately or place in an airtight container for up to one week in the refrigerator. Toast in a toaster and enjoy with sugar-free jam. Each slice is one serving. This bread can easily be cut into 20 thin slices for making sandwiches.
