What You'll Need
To make this keto cinnamon bread, you should prepare 12 healthy and simple ingredients. When you buy everything and are ready to start cooking, it is best to measure each ingredient in a separate small bowl to make it easier to follow the recipe instructions and to make sure you don't skip an important ingredient.
Here's what you need for this low carb cinnamon bread recipe:
- Eggs - take them out of the refrigerator beforehand to make sure that they are at room temperature when you use them.
- Sweetener - as with most of my keto dessert recipes, I used No products found. for this one, but you can use any other sweetener that you prefer as long as it's low carb.
- Coconut oil - if you don't want to use it, then substitute it with the same amount of melted butter.
- Almond milk - you can use any other plant-based milk or whole milk instead.
- Vanilla extract - I don't know why, but I just love the combination of vanilla and cinnamon.
- Almond flour - make sure that you choose ultra-fine almond flour for this recipe.
- Coconut flour - this recipe requires you to add both almond and coconut flour (it will ensure that the cinnamon bread has a bread-like texture and stays moist at the same time).
- Baking powder - you must add it for texture and fluffiness.
- Cream cheese - I know that many don't like to use cream cheese for their keto baking recipes, but it's a game-changer here.
- Cinnamon - either make cinnamon powder by yourself or get store-bought ground cinnamon.
- Heavy cream - if you're looking for a vegan substitution, then you can use organic heavy coconut cream instead of this ingredient; also, you can use either sour cream or cream cheese to make the frosting.
- Salt - trust me, even just a pinch of salt makes a huge difference when cooking this keto cinnamon bread.
The best part about this keto bread recipe is that there's no xanthan gum in it.
That's it! When you prepare all of these ingredients, you can move on to the main process.
