¼ cup Coconut flour

½ cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener

1 tsp Baking powder

½ tsp Baking soda
-
¼ tsp Salt
The Wet Mix:

3 Large eggs (room temperature)

½ cup Unsweetened almond milk

Instructions
-
Prep the Station: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper (letting the edges hang over for easy removal) or grease it well.
-
Sift and Whisk Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no clumps, especially with the coconut flour.
-
Combine Wet: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
-
Fold and Incorporate: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in the melted coconut oil (or butter).
-
Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Chef’s Tip: Tossing the berries in a teaspoon of almond flour before adding them can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf!
-
The Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes. At the 45-minute mark, check if the top is browning too quickly; if so, tent it loosely with foil. The bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cooling is Key: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it out onto a wire rack. For the best texture, wait until it is completely cool before slicing—keto breads can be fragile while warm!

Storage Tip
Because of the moisture from the blueberries and almond flour, this bread stays freshest in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It also freezes beautifully—just slice it before freezing so you can grab a single piece whenever the craving hits.
