🔢 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In another bowl, beat eggs, melted butter, erythritol, vanilla, and almond milk until smooth.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, erythritol, and cinnamon.
6️⃣ Assemble the Bread:
Pour half the batter into the loaf pan, then drizzle half the cinnamon swirl. Repeat with the remaining batter and swirl using a knife for a marbled effect.

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden.
8️⃣ Cool & (Optional) Glaze:
Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle with glaze if desired before serving.
