How To Make Keto Nutmeg Swirl Bread 

This nutmeg keto bread recipe calls for both almond and coconut flour, as well as a little psyllium husk powder.

These flours are naturally low-carb and gluten-free, making them perfect for keto baking.

Almond flour is made from ground almonds and is high in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Coconut flour is made from ground coconut meat and is also high in fiber and healthy fats.

Together, these flours create a perfect texture for a moist and fluffy quick bread that holds up to slicing, toasting, and spreading.

When making this keto nutmeg loaf, first, you’ll need to prep your 9.5 loaf pan by making sure it’s properly greased. I also recommend you add a layer of parchment paper with a little extra over the sides to make it easier to pull the bread out once it’s baked. 

This is something I like to do to ensure it releases from the pan perfectly.

Once baked, you’ll lift the two sides of the parchment paper, and it comes out great every time. 

When it comes to making the bread, it’s really as simple as mixing all the wet ingredients together first and then adding the dry ones. 

Creating a swirl is also very easy. You’ll mix your sugar substitute of choice with the nutmeg powder and cinnamon.

Then, simply spread half of your batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle your nutmeg and cinnamon mixture over the top, and gently swirl with a toothpick. Then, cover with the remaining batter. 

While the loaf is baking, you can mix together your confectioners’ sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and heavy cream to make your vanilla icing.

Sugar-Substitute Options

As far as sweeteners are concerned, I recommend the use of Lakanto’s granulated sugar substitute it’s their erythritol and monk fruit sweetener that is as close to sugar as it gets.

You could either use their regular granulated sugar or their gold, which has a delicious brown sugar flavor profile.

Having said that, I’m also partial to the brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend. Similar to Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols, which have a 0% impact on blood sugar.

You could also use stevia-evia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a stevia-based sweetener. 

Remember that if this is your pick, ensure you reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with good success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar. 

However, when it comes to making the keto vanilla icing, you will have to use a confectioner’s sugar substitute. Both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones.
