Recipe Notes

Substitution options:

1 tsp of gelatin can be replaced with 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum.

Allulose can be reduced. If you eliminate it all together try increasing the oven temp to 375-400 degrees in order to get some browning on your loaf. Check for doneness before the whole 35 minutes are up.

Arrowroot can be reduced to 1 tbsp or eliminated for a lower carb count.
