Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (such as Lakanto for sugar-free option)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon (optionally, 1 tsp mixed with water for swirling)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup yogurt (can substitute with coconut cream)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2/3 cup diced apple

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan and Oven: Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to get it ready for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. If you prefer a cinnamon swirl, reserve 1 tsp cinnamon and mix with 1 1/2 tablespoons water for swirling later.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into another bowl and whisk them together with the yogurt (or coconut cream) until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Make the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until fully combined. Fold in the diced apples with care to distribute evenly without breaking them down.
  5. Add Cinnamon Swirl (Optional): If using the cinnamon swirl, gently swirl the cinnamon-water mixture into the batter in the pan for a marbled effect just before baking.
  6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Remove from Pan: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, run a knife around the edges to loosen, then carefully remove the loaf. This step is important as the bread will be moist and delicate.
  8. Storage: After cooling, loosely cover the bread and keep it at room temperature overnight. For longer freshness, refrigerate up to five days or slice and freeze for future use.

Notes

  • For a nut-free option, sub almond flour with an alternative like oat flour or a nut-free baking flour.
  • Use granulated sweeteners like Lakanto for a sugar-free sweet option.
  • The cinnamon swirl step is optional but adds a beautiful marbled cinnamon flavor throughout the bread.
  • The bread is moist and soft, so handling gently when removing from the pan is important to avoid breaking.
  • Refrigeration after one day helps prolong freshness and flavor.
  • Freezing slices is convenient for quick future snacks or breakfasts.
