Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix all dry ingredients, except the seeds for the topping, in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk all remaining ingredients until smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix thoroughly. Place the dough in a greased bread pan, about 4 x 7 inches (non-stick or use parchment paper). Sprinkle the top with the seeds.
- Bake for about 45 minutes on the lower rack in the oven. Prick the bread with a knife to see if it's ready, it should come out clean. Take it out of the oven and remove the bread from the form.
- Remove the parchment paper and let the loaf cool on a rack. If the loaf is allowed to cool in the form the crust will be soggy.
- Serve it freshly baked with your favorite toppings.
Serving suggestions
This bread is great for toasting and can also be used to make your favorite sandwiches. Fill it with bacon, lettuce and tomato for an awesome BLT or serve it as a side to your favorite low-carb or keto soup.
Storing the bread
This bread needs to be stored in the fridge or in the freezer. When stored in the fridge it keeps up to 5 days. If you want to store it in the freezer we suggest slicing it before doing so. Place a bit of parchment paper between each slice to make single servings easier. Thaw the bread in the fridge or in room temperature and then toast it for best flavor.

We have not tested this recipe with chia instead of flax.
I'm sorry, I am not aware of a good substitute for cream cheese. Sometimes coconut cream can work well in place of heavy cream.
Many people with diverticulitis find that it's best to avoid seeds of any kind to help prevent flare ups. Ground seeds should work well in this though.
If it's cooled all the way, an airtight container may work better so the bread doesn't dry out.
Different brands of almond and coconut flour can have different amounts of fiber, resulting in lower or higher carbs. There is a hoverable note above the coconut flour in the ingredient list with the brand that we use.
heavy cream - coconut cream
cream cheese - coconut yoghurt
no butter, I use coconut oil
I also add 1-2 teaspoons of xantham gum to bind the loaf a little better. It prevents it falling apart in the toaster! :-)
The loaf turns out great.
