Instructions

Keto Bread

• Preheat the oven to 325F and line the very bottom (only the bottom) of a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper. Do not grease the pan at all.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole egg, oil, and water. Whisk the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until smooth and well combined.
• In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until they hold very stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter until well combined and no streaks remain.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is risen, uniformly golden brown, and springs back when pressed. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
• Run a sharp knife around the inside of the pan to loosen and flip out. Remove the bottom parchment.
• Cut into 12 even slices and set on a wire rack to dry out overnight. Then cut each slice into 3 sticks.

Pumpkin French Toast Sticks

• In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, pumpkin puree, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 of the butter. Dip each stick into the pumpkin mixture, tossing to coat. Allow each stick to absorb the batter for about 30 seconds.
• Add 1/4 of the sticks to the pan, but don't crowd them. Cook the sticks on all sides until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a platter and repeat with the remaining butter, batter, and sticks.
