Cranberry Nut Bread - Low Carb Sugar

Great holiday bread or anytime! Protein powder the key to enter the structure, but that is good without. Do not try variations of cheese - it's really delicious, if unusual: (Note If you have a lot of protein is to use a cheaper source to egg protein powder.).

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 50 minutes

Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 1/2 cups almond meal / flour
  • Third powder egg cups
  • 2 tsp baking powder 1/2
  • 4.3 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar equivalent in artificial sweetener (Splenda liquid forms work well)
  • Melted butter 1/2 cup (1 stick)
  • 3 eggs
  • 4.3 cup water
  • Optional: 1 1/2 C chopped pecans

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

1) Butter the bottom of a large loaf pan. You can go a little butter on the side, but not overboard above. To ensure that everything goes well, take the bread out of the pan, I have a piece of parchment paper on the bottom and butter too.

2) cut into large chunks cranberries or pulse in a food processor. Information, each blueberry in 2-4 pieces. Go no fine or are "lost" - shrink during cooking.

3) Mix dry ingredients (almond flour, egg whites, baking powder, salt, sweetener in powder).

4) Add the wet ingredients (liquid sweetener, butter, eggs, water). Mix well. (You do not have to mixing to, as you would bother with regular flour.)

5) Place the dough in the pan and cook for about 40-50 minutes, until top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Variation: Cranberry bread and the cheese add 1 1/2 cups grated white cheddar cheese. Yum!
