Low Carb Coconut Pepita Seed Bread
Make this low carb bread recipe the next time you have a craving for something crunchy and salty. Each slice of the Keto bread is filled with crunchy pepita seeds and topped with flaky coconut. Pepitas are a yummy, salty snack and they provide a little Keto fat to add to your day. Natural, dried flakes of coconut provide a complementary flavor component and turn toasty brown baked on top of the bread loaf. The original recipe here directs you to slice the bread into sandwich-sized slices. However, for a snack-sized portion, cut the full loaf into 4 sections, then slice each section in half to make half-sandwich slices (you’ll only be eating half a serving).
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, stevia, xanthan gum, the first amount of pepitas, and melted butter. In a stand mixer, whip together the egg whites and cream of tartar until you have stiff peaks.
Step 2
Use a spatula to fold the egg whites into the flour mixture in 3-4 additions. Fold the batter over gently until the egg whites and flour are just combined into a consistent texture. Line a 9×5 bread pan with parchment paper and fill the pan with the batter. Gently even out the top of the batter without deflating the egg whites any more.
Step 3
Bake the bread for 10 minutes. Then, sprinkle the coconut flakes and pepitas over the top of the bread and bake for another 15 minutes. After 25 minutes, gently wrap an aluminum foil hood over the top of the bread pan. Return to the oven for a final round of baking at 30 minutes.
Step 4
After the bread has cooled for 10-15 minutes, slice the loaf in half vertically to make 2 smaller loaves. Slice each loaf in half through the center to create 4 slices of sandwich bread.
