Step 5: Create the Cinnamon Swirl

  1. In a small bowl, mix granulated sweetener, cinnamon, and melted butter to form a cinnamon mixture.

Notes & Tips

  • Sweetener Options: Use monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose to keep it keto-friendly. Avoid artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
  • Flour Substitutions: Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so stick to the recipe proportions. Avoid using all coconut flour, as it will make the bread too dry.
  • Make it Dairy-Free: Substitute butter with coconut oil or ghee.
  • Texture Tip: For an extra moist loaf, add 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the batter.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. It also freezes well for 3 months.

Yes! Pour the batter into a muffin tin and bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes.

Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for 1 week, or freeze for 3 months.
