LOW CARB Cinnamon Loaf (A High Fiber, Gluten Free Bread)

A delicious, high fiber &  low carb
treat for breakfast, or snack time.
Ingredients:
butter or coconut oil spray
parchment paper
2 1/2 cups almond flour
4 tablespoons psyllium husks
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 cup Lakanto Baking sweetener** (or sweetener of choice)
1/2 cup hot water
4 eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Method:
Preheat oven to 375*. (350* if using a glass loaf pan.) Lightly grease the inside of a loaf pan with butter or coconut oil cooking spray. Line only the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, husks, baking powder, cinnamon and sweetener.
Add the hot water. Stir with a rubber or silicone spatula to blend thoroughly into the dry ingredients. Whisk together the eggs and oil. Add to the ingredients in the bowl and stir until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the walnuts on top.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or cold. Makes 10 slices.

**Lakanto Baking Sweetener has a finer texture than the regular Classic Sweetener. If you do not have the Baking Sweetener in your pantry, you can process the Classic Sweetener in a food processor, to create a finer texture.

Notes: This low carb treat can satisfy a bread craving.
