Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until a dough begins to form and the ingredients are well combined.
Fold in the almond slices, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a rectangular loaf about ¾ inch thick, pressing down gently to level the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and firm to touch.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
Carefully slice the loaf into thin slices, about 1/3 inch thick, using a serrated knife.
Lay the slices on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake them again in the oven for 15 minutes.
Flip each slice over and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the slices are fully dried out and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the rusks cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
