PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Cinnamon Almond Mini Loaf Homely Spiced Treat:
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 180 ° Celsius. Grease a small mini loaf tin (approximately 10 centimetre× 5 centimetre) or line with parchment for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons almond flour, 1 tablespoon erythritol, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon baking powder until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Crack in 1 egg and pour 1 tablespoon melted butter over the dry mix. Stir gently until a thick and smooth batter forms without overmixing.
- Check Consistency: The batter should be moist but scoopable. If too stiff, add a teaspoon of water or almond milk and fold to adjust texture.
- Transfer to Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini loaf tin, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon for an even surface.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to rest in the tin for five minutes. This helps it set and prevents crumbling when slicing.
- Serve: Gently lift the mini loaf from the tin using the parchment and slice in half or enjoy whole, either warm or at room temperature.

TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Cinnamon Almond Mini Loaf Homely Spiced Treat:
- Accurate Measurement: Level off almond flour and erythritol to ensure consistent texture and sweetness.
- Fresh Cinnamon: Use a good‑quality cinnamon for optimal aroma and flavour.
- Line the Tin: Parchment paper prevents sticking and yields clean edges.
- Avoid Overmixing: Stir just until combined to keep the crumb tender.
- Monitor Baking: Begin checking doneness at 14 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
- Cool Before Slicing: Allowing the loaf to rest ensures neat slices and prevents collapse.
VARIATIONS
- Berry Drizzle: Top with a spoonful of sugar-free berry compote for fruity contrast.
- Nutty Crunch: Fold in 1 tablespoon chopped pecans or walnuts for texture.
- Spiced Twist: Add ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg or cardamom to the dry mix for extra warmth.
- Glaze Option: Drizzle with a glaze of powdered erythritol mixed with lemon juice for sweetness.
- Vegan Swap: Replace the egg with 2 tablespoons of aquafaba and use coconut oil instead of butter.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator: Store cooled loaf slices in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat gently in the microwave for 10 seconds to restore softness.
- Freezer: Wrap individual slices in cling film and freeze for up to one month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm briefly before serving.
