Low-Carb Golden Skillet Bread

A quick almond flour and flax skillet bread baked in a hot, buttered pan, topped with melted Cheddar and sliced into wedges.

  • Total Time32 minutes
  • Yield8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tsp (9.5 g) butter, for preparing the skillet
  • 1 1/3 cups (149 g) fine almond flour
  • 1/3 cup (53 g) ground flaxseed (flax meal)
  • 1 1/3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup (113 g) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 1/2 tbsp (50 g) butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk

Instructions

  1. Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place an 8-inch oven-safe skillet in the oven to heat while it preheats.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flax meal, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Stir in about two-thirds of the cheese (2/3 cup or 75 g).
  3. Add the eggs, melted butter, and almond milk. Mix just until a uniform batter forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet. Add the 2 teaspoons of butter and swirl to coat the bottom and slightly up the sides as it melts.
  5. Pour the batter into the hot skillet and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese (1/3 cup or 38 g) over the top.
  6. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, until the edges are golden brown, the center is firm, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Optional: internal temperature should be about 95°C (203°F).
  7. Remove from the oven and cool in the skillet for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice into 8 wedges and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Cool completely, then store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Room temperature storage is best limited to 24 hours, especially in warm weather. Freeze tightly wrapped for up to several months.
  • Skillet: An 8-inch cast iron or other oven-proof skillet works best for this recipe volume to achieve the intended thickness.
  • Doneness: Center should feel firm; a toothpick should come out clean.
