🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Erythritol or Stevia sweetener
• 0.5 cups Butter, melted
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and erythritol.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar. Stir together and let it sit for a few minutes to 'curdle'.

4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and whisk until well combined.

5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.

6. Fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, slice the loaf into thick slices. You should get about 12 slices.

11. Lay the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.

12. Bake again at 200°F (95°C) for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the rusks are dry and crispy. You may need to flip them halfway through for even drying.

13. Once dry and crisp, remove the rusks from the oven and let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
