FAILED RECIPE - Low Carb Simple Sandwich Bread


Low Carb Simple Sandwich Bread from Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet cookbook with Kayla. Kayla, Rhonda's lovely assistant, gives her review of this recipe and she’s not holding anything back. If it’s not obvious by the title that she thinks the recipe is a FAIL. 


Here are the ingredients and directions if you’d like to take a stab at making it. 

  • ¾ cup nut butter (almond, cashew, etc.)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup finely ground nut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In a bowl, use a spatula or mixer to blend the nut butter, eggs, and honey until creamy.
  3. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the batter and blend until creamy.
  4. Pour the batter into a baking pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  5. Let cool and slice. Seal and store at room temperature for a few days, in the refrigerator for a few weeks, or in the freezer for a month or so.

Kayla’s Thoughts

The recipe indicates the writer uses a 3½“ x 7½” loaf pan. I didn’t have that, so I used whatever was the smallest one in our kitchen. The loaf ended up being very short, not anywhere near sandwich height, because of the too-large pan. This is just the beginning of its problems.

I followed the recipe other than the loaf pan size and the bread was beyond disappointing to me.

The cookbook claimed it was perfect for sandwiches, rolls, and toast, but it’s not. It’s way too nutty.

I expected some nuttiness given the ingredients, but it’s overwhelming. There’s no bread-like taste. I couldn’t even begin to imagine a sandwich using this bread.

I attempted to make French toast with it- still no. It is just too weird. Maybe I’ll alter the recipe a bit next time and give it some spice.

I will say, the texture is like other quick bread, and it baked up just fine. The flavor just isn’t right for me. 

Overall, 1 star. ⭐☆☆☆☆

Have you tried low-carb bread recipes? We'd love to hear from you and maybe even give us your thoughts on the review.

Stay safe and sassy,
