Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use all almond flour instead of coconut flour? Yes, but the texture will be slightly more dense, so add a bit more almond milk if needed.
Do I need sugar-free chocolate chips? For keto compliance, yes—but regular chocolate chips can be used if carbs aren’t a concern.
Can I make this bread nut-free? Substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour and ensure chocolate chips are nut-free.
How do I know when it’s done? Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Can I add mix-ins like nuts or berries? Absolutely! Low-carb nuts, unsweetened coconut, or keto-friendly berries work well.
