Tips For Baking Perfect Keto Cinnamon Bread
- Measure Carefully: Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate measurements, especially for the almond and coconut flour.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to a tough bread. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your sweetener before adding it to the batter and adjust the amount to your preference.
- Check for Doneness: Start checking for doneness at the 40-minute mark. Every oven is different.
- Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.

We loved this recipe. The only change I did was use almond/ coconut blend milk since that is what I had. Shared it and making another today.
Thank you
Hey Trish, thank you so glad you liked it. We might try the almond/coconut blend next time.
So I added 1/4 cup cocoa powder and a about an 1/8th of a cup of coffee mixed in with the cinnamon. Turned out great. My chocolate need has been filled. I have a cousin who added cinnamon to a texas sheet cake awhile back and that was the taste I was going for.
Excellent. It came out well. I added walnuts to the cinnamon mix. Love your recipes. Thanks!
Thank you Orema for your kindsa words, so glad you liked it.
Was craving cinnamon roll for few days now. And I decided to do this!
Yummy! Iโve eaten 3 slices with my coffee it is delicious!!
I will be definitely doing this again and I am looking forward to trying another recipes of yours.
Hello Alex,
Thank you some much for your wonderful comment. So glad you enjoyed the cinnamon roll.
Is that 191 calories per slice or per loaf??
Hi Felicia,
Per slice ๐
Do you know if other alternative sweetener blends will work for this? I am looking at buying Gentle Sweet (Trim Healthy Mama) for another recipe and don’t really want to buy and store two different ones. Thanks!
Hi Diana,
Sure, just make sure to check the conversion amounts on the sweetener blend packet to avoid making the loaf too sweet or not sweet enough.
Can I turn these into muffins by baking in muffin tins instead of bread loaf pan
Hi Shaun,
You sure can! Just drop the cooking time, I would suggest checking them after 15 minutes, then every 5 after that until they are done ๐
Love this recipe!
This recipe came out great! I added the xantham gum to the mix, and topped it with keto granola to bake! Our new coffee cake!
A granola topping sounds perfect, Diana! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!
Made this was awesome,
Hello !! Love the recipe hope to make with the kids today but I dont have any almond milk ,do you think I could use cream ? Thanks
Hi Cassie,
I have not tried making it with cream, but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work! You could try using half water and half cream to bring it closer to milk, if the extra calories concerned you. Happy baking!!
Thanks, a very good recipe! I buy coffee cake from a nutritionist baker and she was sold out yesterday. With the pandemic, I would not likely go out for groceries again for several days. Thought I would try and make a batch to tide me over. This turned out so well that I may spend more time baking my own coffee cake instead of running out to buy. Regards,
Juen
That is great to hear June! If you want us to make some other flavors, just let us know ๐
Hi. This recipe looks delicious. Can I substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream?
Hi Mary,
You sure can.
AlsoI forget to mention I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of xamthan gum, helped alot to keep everything together with a good texture.
This came out awesome! even my hubby who isnt keto enjoyedd this one. you cant even tell it doesnt have carbs! Loved it and it will be a go to for me. Thanks
I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed it Camirra! Thank you for your kind words ๐
What a fantastic recipe. Worked flawlessly first go and is absolutely delicious!
You are too sweet Glenn! Thank you for your kind words ๐
The bread is absolutely delicious!. Unfortunately it wasn’t very firm and crumbled quite a bit. I followed the recipe with no substitutions, well except using powdered monkfruit instead of natvia. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
Hi Elizabeth,
I’m glad you enjoyed the bread. Using a powdered sweetener rather than a granulated sweetener would have caused the crumbly texture.
OK 1. I am completely out of any sweetener but stevia liquid and powder. I must order in eythritol so it will be two months before I have any. will you assist to make this recipe OK?
2. also I have lots of coconut milk. May I substitute 1:1
Thanks it looks like a delicious recipe and I love your recipes.
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your kind words!
Liquid stevia is not suitable, if your powdered stevia is a 1:1 replacement for sugar the same amount can be used. Coconut milk can be used instead of the almond milk.
