Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, caraway seeds, cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the olive oil and water until the mixture is smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Using your hands, form the dough into a loaf shape, approximately 1 inch thick.
Transfer the parchment paper and loaf onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
Once the loaf has cooled slightly, cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Place the cubes back on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, flipping the croutons halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Allow the croutons to cool completely before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
