Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
  • ½ jalapeño pepper, sliced into thin rings for topping
  • 1 cup (125 g / 4.4 oz) almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) oat fiber
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon (40 ml / 1.4 fl oz) salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons erythritol sweetener
  • 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (50 g / 1.76 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) sour cream, at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml / 2 fl oz) unsalted grass-fed butter, melted
  • For the best texture, use room temperature eggs and sour cream. This helps the batter mix together smoothly and bake more evenly.
  • Control the heat by removing the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños for a milder flavor, or leave them in for an extra kick. You can also swap cheddar for a spicy pepper jack cheese.

  8. Arrange the jalapeño rings on top. 7.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 8.
  10. Remove the dish from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Lift it out, cut into eight squares, and serve warm.
  11. Do not overmix the batter when you combine the wet and dry .
  12. Mix just until you no longer see streaks of flour to ensure a tender, not tough, crumb.
