Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar-free brown sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted, or butter
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 1/2 cups finely ground almond flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg optional
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
Sugar-Free Glaze:
  • 2 cups sugar-free confectioners sugar
  • 5 Tbsp water adjust as needed
  • 1 Tbsp sugar-free brown sugar for sprinkling on top, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until combined. You may need to scrape the sides with a rubber spatula and re-start the blender to get it to incorporate. The batter will be very thick! Note: if you don't own a high-powered blender, you can use a stand mixer or mix everything in a mixing bowl.
  3. Transfer the batter to the parchment-lined pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the edges are golden-brown and the center has set up. Allow bread to cool at least 30 minutes.
  4. If making the glaze, stir together the sugar-free confectioners sugar and water in a bowl until thick and creamy. If needed, add more water (or sweetener) to get your desired consistency.
  5. Drizzle the glaze liberally over the bread and smooth it into a layer (or make funky designs...get on with your bad self).
  6. Sprinkle with sugar-free brown sugar to make it look extra cool. Slice and serve!
