🍓 Keto Strawberry Swirl Loaf

Ingredients:

For the Loaf Batter:

  • 1 ¾ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅔ cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk

For the Strawberry Swirl:

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or chia seeds (for thickening)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the strawberry swirl:
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, erythritol, and lemon juice. Cook until the strawberries break down (5–7 minutes), then mash or blend for a smoother texture. Stir in xanthan gum or chia seeds to thicken. Let cool slightly.
  3. Make the loaf batter:
    In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.
  4. Assemble the loaf:
    Pour half the batter into the loaf pan, then spoon half of the strawberry mixture in dollops and swirl gently with a knife. Add the remaining batter, then the rest of the strawberry mixture on top, swirling again.
  5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil during the last 15 minutes if it starts to brown too quickly.
  6. Cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Optional Glaze (Keto-Friendly):

Mix 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol with 1–2 teaspoons almond milk or lemon juice, then drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Would you like a cream cheese layer added to this loaf for extra richness? I can provide a version with that too!
