Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for better texture)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum if using.
Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated and a thick batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
