How to Make Keto-Friendly Sour Cream Bread
I love how straightforward this recipe is. With a basic almond flour and sour cream bread recipe like this, you’ll have no need to be craving bread while doing a keto diet.
You can bake this in a loaf pan for slices or even in a muffin tin for individual rolls.
I opted to add one tablespoon of sugar substitute to the batter. This however is totally optional.
But keep in mind, that traditional white bread has a little bit of sweetness and I wanted to mimic the flavor perfectly. I used a granulated monk fruit sugar substitute for this but you can use whichever you prefer.

What Does Sour Cream Do In Baking?
In traditional baking, sour cream makes baked goods moister; this is no different when keto baking.
The creamy texture of sour cream when making a quick bread that uses keto-friendly flour also helps the bread to be a little fluffier.
Baking with sour cream moistens the crumb of this bread and adds the perfect amount of tanginess. It’s a trick I learned years ago when I would bake traditionally and have now employed in my low-carb baking.
That being said, you could substitute the sour cream in this keto bread recipe for Greek full-fat yogurt if that is your preference.

My bread smells great but it didn’t brown like the photo. What happened?

Hi Debbie, My guess is that the bread needed a little more baking time. You can always put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes too.

Hi Rebecca, Here is the coconut flour version of this bread. It's best to follow this keto coconut flour bread recipe instead of trying to convert the almond flour one. I have done the heavy lifting for you. Enjoy!
