Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar-free dried cranberries
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
Why These Ingredients Work
Almond and coconut flour create structure without carbs, cream cheese adds moisture, and sugar-free cranberries bring balance with a tart, fruity bite.
Ingredient Notes
- Almond Flour: Use finely blanched almond flour for the softest texture.
- Coconut Flour: Absorbs moisture and prevents sogginess — don’t skip it.
- Cream Cheese: Full-fat works best for richness and softness.
- Sweetener: Powdered sweetener blends smoothly and avoids graininess.
- Cranberries: Make sure they’re sugar-free to keep carbs low.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
This ensures easy removal and even baking. - Mix dry ingredients in a bowl: almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk until fully combined and lump-free. - Blend wet ingredients in another bowl. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla.
The mixture should look creamy and silky. - Combine wet and dry mixtures.
Gently fold until a thick, smooth batter forms. - Fold in cranberries.
Distribute them evenly so every slice gets a pop of flavor. - Transfer to loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and set in the center.
A toothpick should come out mostly clean. - Cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
Pro Tips & Variations
- Extra Moist: Add 1 tablespoon sour cream to the batter.
- Holiday Flavor: Mix in orange zest for a festive touch.
- Nutty Crunch: Add chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese.
