2. Add dry ingredients
Add:
- almond flour
- baking powder
- sea salt
Fold everything gently until no dry spots remain.
If the batter feels too thick, add almond milk or cream one tablespoon at a time.
3. Prepare the pan
Grease a loaf pan or baking dish with butter or coconut oil.
Pour in the batter and smooth the top evenly.
4. Bake or microwave
- Oven: 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes
- Microwave: 3–4 minutes (depending on strength)
It’s ready when:
- the top is firm
- a toothpick comes out clean
5. Cool before slicing
Let it cool for at least 10 minutes so it sets properly.
(This step makes the texture perfect — don’t skip it.)
