Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of garlic powder or herbs like rosemary to the dry ingredients.
• Make sure to whip the egg whites thoroughly; this helps give the bread a light texture.
• Using full-fat coconut milk adds moisture—avoid low-fat versions.
• Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Storage

Store the bread in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze it in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in a toaster or oven for best texture.

FAQs

Can I use another type of protein powder instead of collagen?

Yes, but collagen is preferred here for its neutral flavor and texture. If substituting, choose an unflavored, low-carb protein powder and be aware the texture and taste may vary.

Is xanthan gum necessary?

Xanthan gum helps bind the ingredients and create a bread-like texture. Omitting it may result in a crumbly loaf, so it’s recommended for best results.
