Keto Cinnamon Bread

Last Updated on January 19, 2025 by Sarah Leadon

Keto cinnamon bread is the perfect Christmas treat. There’s nothing like waking up to the smell of this cinnamon bread on Christmas morning. It permeates through the entire house. It makes you hungry the second you smell it.

This keto cinnamon bread is easy to make. It’s the perfect last-minute Christmas gift you can give to your friends, family, or coworkers.

Like carob chip banana bread and zucchini squash bread, this keto cinnamon bread is a quick bread.

This keto cinnamon bread is leavened with baking powder. You don’t have to wait for the dough to rise or shape the dough into loaves.

Since this bread doesn’t contain yeast, you can easily whip it up the day before or even on Christmas morning. You will keep your family members full, which will give you more time to focus on main dishes like roasted turkey.

Ingredients

This keto cinnamon bread is incredibly easy to make. It’s made with simple ingredients that come together to create a moist, flavorful loaf.

• Eggs: Help give the bread structure. They also add moisture to the bread.
• Stevia: I used stevia, but you can use monk fruit sweetener, Swerve, or your favorite sugar-free sweetener.
• Cinnamon: Cinnamon is the star of the show. It gives the bread a warm flavor that makes it hard to eat just 1 slice.

Tips For Making Keto Cinnamon Bread

Making keto cinnamon bread is easy to do. All you have to do is mix the wet and dry ingredients, then combine them together. But these tips will help you ensure your cinnamon bread comes out right every time.

Use Room Temperature Ingredients

All the ingredients for this cinnamon keto bread must be at room temperature. If the ingredients are cold, it could cause the coconut oil to solidify.

The goal is to blend the coconut oil into the wet ingredients. It should be emulsified without clumps of coconut oil running throughout the bread.

The clumps of coconut oil will melt as the bread is in the oven, creating pockets of air in your cinnamon bread. Pockets of air are beneficial for foods such as biscuits. However, air pockets will impair the final product since this is a quick bread.

You can also substitute butter in place of coconut oil. You won’t have to worry about the coconut oil solidifying in the batter.

Let The Batter Rest

Most baking recipes contain larger amounts of other gluten-free flours. But when it comes to coconut flour, the amount is always small.

Coconut flour is extremely absorbent. So, the batter has to rest for 5 minutes so it can soak up some of the moisture.

Let The Keto Cinnamon Bread Rest

Let the keto cinnamon bread rest for 3-5 minutes. Letting the keto cinnamon batter rest allows the coconut flour to absorb the wet ingredients. Additionally, it will improve the texture of your cinnamon bread.

Serving Suggestions

This cinnamon bread is moist and loaded with flavor. You can slather it with softened butter, almond butter, or peanut butter and eat it for breakfast or as a snack in the afternoon. You can also smear a few tablespoons of keto-friendly cream cheese frosting to create a sweet treat. You can serve the cinnamon bread with a homemade berry compote made from low-carb berries like raspberries or blackberries.

Ingredients

• For the bread:

• 5 large eggs, room temperature

• ½ cup stevia (or another keto-friendly sweetener)

• ½ cup coconut oil, melted, cooled

• 1/4 cup almond milk, room temperature

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/4 cup coconut flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• For the cinnamon swirl:

• 1/2 cup stevia (or another keto-friendly sweetener)

• 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Directions

• Program your oven to 350°F, then grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line it with parchment paper.
• To make the cinnamon swirl, whisk the stevia and cinnamon in a bowl. Set it aside.
• Whisk the eggs, stevia, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
• Whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder in another bowl. Whisk the gluten-free flour into the egg mixture until the cinnamon bread batter is smooth.
• Let the cinnamon bread batter sit for 3-5 minutes. Pour half of the cinnamon bread batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Sprinkle half of the cinnamon stevia mixture over the cinnamon bread. Add the remaining cinnamon bread and cinnamon swirl mixture.
• Run a knife through the cinnamon bread batter to create a swirl. Bake it for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cinnamon bread comes out clean.
• Allow the cinnamon bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Place the cinnamon bread on a wire rack to cool completely.
