3/4 cup vanilla whey protein
1/8 cup pasteurized liquid egg-whites
1 tablespoon baking powder
4 (1 ounce) packets Splenda sugar substitute
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
1/8 cup water
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • This bread slices like regular bread.

Tips:

  • Utilize almond flour: Almond flour is a great low-carb alternative to traditional wheat flour. It is rich in nutrients and adds a moist texture to quick bread.
  • Incorporate healthy fats: Adding healthy fats like butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil can enhance the flavor and texture of your low-carb quick bread.
  • Use natural sweeteners: Instead of refined sugar, opt for natural sweeteners like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit. These sweeteners provide sweetness without the added carbs.
  • Add moisture with eggs and dairy: Eggs and dairy products like Greek yogurt or sour cream contribute moisture and richness to the bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a dense and dry texture. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature and time to ensure the bread is cooked thoroughly.
  • Let it cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
