Whether you’re following a keto lifestyle or just want a gluten-free alternative that still satisfies your holiday dessert cravings, this recipe is a winner. It comes together quickly, fills your kitchen with the smell of holiday spices, and pairs perfectly with a hot mug of coffee or even more eggnog.

What Kind of Eggnog Should I Use?

For this recipe, use a keto-friendly eggnog or a homemade version made with almond milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, and your favorite low-carb sweetener. Regular store-bought eggnog is usually too high in sugar to keep it keto, but if you’re not strictly low-carb, go ahead and use a light version. The eggnog is the heart of this bread, lending both moisture and that unmistakable holiday richness.

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Keto Eggnog Bread

Almond flour: This keeps the bread gluten-free and keto-approved, while providing a tender crumb.
Coconut flour: Adds structure and balances the moisture from the eggnog.
Eggs: Essential for binding and structure, they also add richness.
Keto eggnog: The flavor star of the show, adding both taste and moisture.
Baking powder: Gives the loaf a gentle rise.
Cinnamon: Swirled into the center for warmth and aroma.
Nutmeg: Enhances the eggnog flavor.
Butter or coconut oil: Adds moisture and richness.
Vanilla extract: For a smooth, comforting base note.
Sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit): Keeps it sweet without the sugar.

How To Make the Cinnamon Keto Eggnog Bread

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter or coconut oil.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and half of the cinnamon. This ensures everything is evenly distributed before combining with the wet ingredients.

Step 3: Beat the Wet Ingredients

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), keto eggnog, vanilla extract, and your low-carb sweetener. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Combine and Create Batter

Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.

Step 5: Swirl in Cinnamon

Pour half of the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon over this layer, then pour the remaining batter on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon layer for that classic marbled look.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Glaze (Optional but Delicious!)

If desired, drizzle with a simple keto-friendly glaze made from powdered erythritol and a splash of eggnog or almond milk. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top for extra crunch.

How to Serve and Store This Cozy Keto Bread

This Cinnamon Keto Eggnog Bread shines warm from the oven, but it’s equally delightful at room temperature or even chilled. Slice it thick and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, or toast it lightly and add a pat of butter for breakfast.

To store, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigeration extends freshness to about a week. Want to freeze it? Wrap slices in parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe bag—just defrost overnight or gently warm in the toaster oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular eggnog instead of keto?

Yes, if you’re not following a strict keto diet, you can substitute regular or light eggnog. Just be mindful it will increase the sugar content.

What can I use instead of almond flour?

If you’re allergic to almonds, sunflower seed flour can be a good 1:1 substitute. Note that it may alter the flavor slightly.

Is this bread sweet enough to be dessert?

Definitely! With the added cinnamon swirl and optional glaze, it’s rich and sweet enough to serve as a holiday dessert.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, use coconut oil instead of butter and a dairy-free keto eggnog. Make sure your sweetener and other ingredients are also dairy-free.

Why is my bread too soft in the center?

It may need more baking time. Always test with a toothpick—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Can I double this recipe?

You can! Use two loaf pans and rotate them halfway through baking to ensure even results.
