- ½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Optional Glaze
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered keto sweetener
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, melted butter, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Mixture
In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon, powdered sweetener, and melted butter.
Step 3: Layer the Bread
Grease a small loaf pan or air-fryer-safe baking pan.
Pour half the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Drizzle half the cinnamon mixture over the batter.
Add the remaining batter and top with the remaining cinnamon mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon into the batter.
Step 4: Air Fry or Bake
Air Fryer Method
Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the loaf pan into the air fryer basket and cook for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Oven Method
Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 35–40 minutes.
Step 5: Cool and Glaze
Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
If desired, whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cooled bread.
