Ingredients
For the Bread Batter
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¾ cup powdered monk fruit or erythritol sweetener
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ⅓ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup full-fat sour cream or Greek-style keto yogurt
For the Cinnamon Swirl
- ¼ cup powdered sweetener
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Ingredient Notes
- Almond flour keeps the loaf tender and moist—avoid almond meal for best texture.
- Coconut flour adds structure and absorbs moisture beautifully.
- Powdered sweetener dissolves easily for a smooth crumb.
- Sour cream adds richness and prevents dryness.
- Cinnamon is the star—use fresh spice for bold aroma and flavor.
These ingredients work together to mimic classic cinnamon bread while staying totally keto and low-carb.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease lightly with butter. - Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined. - Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla, and sour cream until creamy and smooth. - Create the Batter
Slowly pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until thick and lump-free. The batter should be smooth and slightly fluffy. - Make Cinnamon Swirl
In a small bowl, mix sweetener, cinnamon, and melted butter to form a glossy paste. - Layer & Swirl
Pour half the batter into the pan. Spoon half the cinnamon mixture over it. Add remaining batter, then swirl the rest of the cinnamon mixture through with a knife for that gorgeous marbled look. - Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. - Cool
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing—this helps it firm up perfectly.
