Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your bread bakes evenly.
- Step 2: Grease your loaf pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond meal, unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch cocoa powder (if using), xylitol or granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Step 4: In another bowl, mix the eggs (or flax eggs), vanilla extract, yogurt, and water. Whisk until you achieve a smooth mixture.
- Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. If you want to add chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
- Step 6: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 7: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes before enjoying.
