Health notes
- Protein: Almond flour and eggs carry the slice.
- Lower carb than bakery cranberry bread: No wheat flour. Close to keto at 3g net.
- Nine slices: Macros are per slice, not one mini loaf.
- Sweetened dried cranberries or extra fruit will jump the carbs. Use unsweetened or lightly sweetened berries.
Key element — thick batter, almonds on top
A dry loaf baked too long. Mix a thick almond batter, fold in cranberries, top with sliced almonds, and bake until just set so the mini pans look like the photo.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat. Heat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease three mini loaf pans.
- Dry. Whisk almond flour, allulose, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Wet. Stir in eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla. Fold in cranberries.
- Pan. Divide the batter. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top, like the photo.
- Bake. Bake 22 to 25 minutes until the centers are just set. Cool 15 minutes. Slice each loaf into 3. One slice is one serving.
Notes & Tips
- Unsweetened dried cranberries keep the net carbs low.
- Do not overmix after the eggs go in.
- Pull the loaves while the centers are still slightly moist.
- Cool in the pans 10 minutes so they do not break.
- A hot knife gives cleaner slices.
