Using fall favorites means more nutrients
Did you know that eating fruits and vegetables that are in season means that you are absorbing more nutrients from them?
Whenever you consume produce that is sourced locally or is in season, the produce often has to travel far less miles to reach your table. This means that produce that is in season contain higher nutritional value as they were able to pick it nearer to it’s peak of freshness.
When we use produce which is in season you are actually consuming the product at the peak of it’s nutritional density.
What a phenomenal reason to let every meal this season contain pumpkin, cranberries, and root vegetables at this time of year.

Tips and tricks to create the best low carb cranberry bread.
- This recipe is different than most Keto breads because you first separate the egg yolks and whites. Similar to what you would do when creating a sponge cake. Coconut flour can become very dense very quickly. By first separating the eggs, whipping the whites,and folding back in the remaining ingredients; your low carb bread recipes becomes so fluffy no one would suspect it is as healthy as it is.
- Stevia makes a great sweetener. For this recipe we use Stevia in the Raw. A fluffy version of stevia extract that is perfect for baking. When whipped with the egg whites, stevia in the raw creates the sweet and fluffy mixture we are hoping to achieve.
- The berries you use in this recipe can be interchanged. My original recipe calls for cranberries and blackberries for two reasons. To captivate the taste and nutrients of the season, and for a super low carbohydrate bread recipe. The berries can be substituted for blueberries or other alternatives to your liking or to fit within your daily carbohydrate count. I bet raspberries would be good as well. Let me know in the comments below if you give that a try!
- If you are new to using coconut flour in your recipes you might find it a bit surprising at first. Coconut flour is light and flaky but when mixed with liquid the coconut flour readily absorbs it. Coconut flour takes a little time to fully thicken. It will resemble a very dense cake batter when it is ready to put into the pan to be baked. Though the portion of this recipe containing egg yolks, coconut flour, and almond milk may initially seem like liquid: it will thicken within 5 minutes. Before the egg whites and stevia are whipped and fluffy.
See image below for the appearance of the whipped and fluffy egg whites and stevia, so you know what you should be looking for. Also the thickened coconut flour just before folding in.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 2 tbsp. lime juice
- 1/2 cup stevia in the raw
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1/3 cup blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two separate bowls.
- Into the bowl containing the yolks, add in the almond milk and lime juice.
- Thoroughly mix to incorporate. Allow this coconut flour mixture to sit at least 5 minutes so the coconut flour can adequately absorb the liquid ingredients.
- In the bowl with the egg whites, add in the Stevia in the Raw.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the whites and stevia for at least 2 minutes on high. The mixture should fluff up considerably.
- Fold the egg yolk and coconut flour mixture into the whites mixture carefully. You will lose some of the aeration but not nearly all. Folding in with 3 batches works well.
- Add the berries to the mixture and gently incorporate.
- Grease a baking loaf pan with butter, coconut oil, or other oil and pour in your batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour. Or until 10 minutes after a toothpick comes out clean.
