Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Wet Ingredients

• 3 large eggs

• ¼ cup (60ml) melted butter or coconut oil

• 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Cheese & Mix-ins

• 1 ½ cups (170g) shredded mozzarella cheese

• ½ cup (50g) shredded cheddar cheese

• ¼ cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese

• Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme, or chives)

Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowls (large and medium)

• Whisk

• Rubber spatula

• 8×4 inch loaf pan

• Parchment paper

• Toothpick for testing

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare (5 minutes)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients (2 minutes)

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients (3 minutes)

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter, sour cream, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry (2 minutes)

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick—this is normal. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Fold in the Cheese (2 minutes)

Gently fold in the mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and optional herbs. Reserve a small handful of cheese for topping. The batter should be thick and chunky with cheese throughout.

Step 6: Transfer to Pan (1 minute)

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with your spatula. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.

Step 7: Bake (25–30 minutes)

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 20 minutes.

Step 8: Cool and Serve (10 minutes)

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm.

Time and Intensity Guide

Intensity Notes: This recipe requires minimal active effort. The most demanding step is folding the cheese into the thick batter—use a sturdy spatula and gentle motions. The baking phase is entirely hands-off, making this recipe ideal for beginners or busy cooks.
