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 40 minutes are up.
- Arrowroot can be reduced to 1 tbsp or eliminated for a lower carb count.
- Butter powder can be substituted with mct oil powder for a dairy-free version.
- 2 tbsp of whole egg powder can be substituted with 2 tsp of yolk powder

Note: I do not count allulose in the carb count since it does not get absorbed by the body like regular carbs do.
