Ingredients

Loaf Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar-free brown sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted, or butter)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
  • 1 1/2 cups finely ground almond flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Glaze Ingredients (Optional)

  • 2 cups sugar-free confectioners sugar
  • 5 Tbsp water (adjust as needed)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar-free brown sugar (for sprinkling on top, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Add all the loaf ingredients into a blender and blend until fully combined. You might need to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and blend again to incorporate all ingredients. The batter will be thick. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, use a stand mixer or mix thoroughly by hand in a mixing bowl.
  3. Transfer Batter and Bake: Pour the thick batter into the lined loaf pan, smoothing it out evenly. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set.
  4. Cool the Loaf: Remove from oven and allow the loaf to cool for at least 30 minutes in the pan so it firms up and is easier to slice.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, stir together the sugar-free confectioners sugar and water until you get a thick, creamy consistency. Adjust water or sweetener as needed.
  6. Glaze the Loaf: Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled loaf and spread it around. Feel free to create fun patterns or keep it simple.
  7. Add Topping and Serve: Sprinkle optional sugar-free brown sugar on top for added texture and appearance. Slice and serve your delicious low-carb gingerbread loaf!

Notes

  • Make sure to use fresh grated ginger for the best flavor boost.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute coconut oil with melted butter.
  • The loaf firming after baking is essential for easy slicing; avoid slicing when still warm.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and decorative touch.
  • Adjust the amount of water in the glaze slowly to avoid making it too runny.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
