Ingredients

1 tbsp Baking powder
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Salt
4 large Eggs (room temperature)
1/3 cup Melted butter (or olive oil)

1/2 cup Black olives (sliced)
1/4 cup Green onions or fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter (or olive oil), and Greek yogurt until smooth.
4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Gently fold in the shredded cheese, sliced olives, and chopped green onions.
5. Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool & Slice: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Chef’s Tips
Slice Only When Cool: Low-carb breads made with almond flour need to cool completely to hold their structure and avoid crumbling when sliced.
Toast It Up: Toasting a slice in a pan with a little butter brings out the rich olive and cheese flavors even more!
