Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, or microwave until liquid, then let it cool slightly.
Add the cooled coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk to the eggs, stirring vigorously to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Whole30 Pain au Lait plain or with Whole30-compliant spreads or toppings.
