“Even in Life Before Keto, I rarely ate bread. When I did indulge, I always regretted it afterwards. I felt bloated and miserable and wouldn’t poop for a week (no bacon butty is worth that! I have therefore never missed bread when starting keto. However, being human and all, the craving for a slice of toast with butter-and-Bovril still hits me every now and again! I am well-chuffed with this alternative! Give it a try and then pat yourself on the back for being so dedicated.” – Monya

More on Quick Chia Bread…

Almond flour is a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat flour. It is rich in nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy fats (monounsaturated fats). It is low in carbs, making it a suitable choice for individuals following a ketogenic diet.

Almond flour is also a good source of dietary fibre. Fibre supports digestive health by promoting satiety and helping to regulate blood sugar levels. The monounsaturated fats in almond flour are considered heart healthy.

Chia seeds are an excellent plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3s are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and their role in promoting heart and brain health. They are rich in soluble fibre, which can improve digestive health and promote a feeling of fullness.
 
Eggs are an excellent source of complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids the body needs. Protein is crucial for muscle development and overall body function. Eggs are packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins such as B vitamins (B12, riboflavin), vitamin D, vitamin A. It also includes minerals like selenium and phosphorus.

 

It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Quick Chia Bread

One of my best keto bread recipes - with no eggy flavour. The secret is sourcing the perfect size dish to microwave it in (cooking takes 90 seconds) and you can make 3 perfect bread slices (which also toasts beautifully on the stove top in a little fat of your choice).

Calories: 136kcal | Carbohydrates: 1.7g | Protein: 8.2g | Fat: 11g

Equipment

• universal measuring spoons
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• small, square Tupperware (ideal size)

Ingredients

• 3 TB almond flour
• 1 TB extra-fine almond flour
• 2 TB ground (milled) chia seeds
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp mustard powder
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 eggs

Instructions

• Place the almond flour, extra-fine almond flour, ground chia, baking powder, garlic powder, mustard powder and salt and pepper in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
  
• IMPORTANT NOTE: I had feedback from a reader who ground whole chia seeds herself, which does not work. You need the fine texture of finely milled seeds, so I strongly advise you use store-bought ready-ground / milled chia. Available online (link is on the ingredient, or Holland & Barrett if you are in the UK.)
  
• Combine the dry mixture, then add the whisked eggs to this mixture and combine very well.
• Pour the mixture into a greased, microwave-friendly Tupperware. Mine was a small, square Tupperware – similar square dimensions to a slice of bread, approx. 11 x 11cm / 4.3 x 4.3-in. (Amazon link at the end of the recipe)
  
• Place into the microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds, then remove.
• Turn the Tupperware out upside down and give it a little knock – it will tip out as a solid mass. If it doesn't, slide a knife around the edges.
  
• Once cool enough to handle, turn it on its side and slice into 3 even slices.
  
• (If you want to make toast, simply heat a little butter in a pan and fry the slices on both sides until crispy.)
