For the bread:
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cinnamon swirl:
2 tablespoons erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
5. In a small bowl, combine the erythritol and ground cinnamon for the swirl.
6. Add half the batter to the loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture on top and swirl lightly with a knife.
7. Add the remaining batter, sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon mixture, and swirl again.
8. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQs

How do I keep keto cinnamon bread from becoming too crumbly?

The combination of almond flour, coconut flour, and eggs provides structure. Make sure not to reduce the eggs.

Can I replace almond flour with coconut flour?

No, they behave very differently. Coconut flour absorbs much more liquid, so substitutions won’t work 1:1.

What type of sweetener works best?

A granulated keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol or a blend with monk fruit works well.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, the recipe is already dairy-free since it uses coconut oil and almond milk.

How can I tell when the bread is done?

Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

Why did my loaf sink in the middle?

This can happen if the batter was underbaked or if too much liquid was added. Measure carefully and allow full baking time.

Can I make muffins instead of a loaf?

Yes. Divide the batter into a muffin tin and bake for 18–22 minutes.

Can I add vanilla or almond extract for more flavor?

Yes, adding an extra 1/2 teaspoon of either extract enhances the flavor.

Is this bread suitable for diabetics?

It is low in carbohydrates and uses a sugar-free sweetener, but individual needs vary, so check with a healthcare provider.

What can I serve with keto cinnamon bread?

It pairs well with sugar-free spreads, nut butter, or a warm cup of coffee or tea.
