- 1/3 cup whey isolate protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup allulose or erythritol

How to Make Our Keto Cranberry Loaf
- Prep your pan. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, sweetener, almond milk, vanilla, and citrus zest until smooth and creamy.
- Bring it all together. Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Coat the cranberries. Toss cranberries with 1 tablespoon allulose to help them stay bright and prevent sinking.
- Fold them in. Gently fold the cranberries into the batter.
- Bake. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–48 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Cooling fully helps the keto loaf set and slice beautifully.
This loaf stays tender thanks to almond flour and Greek yogurt, while the protein powder keeps it high-protein and macro-friendly.

Tips & FAQs
Can I use dried cranberries?
Yes — choose sugar-free dried cranberries and reduce the amount to 1/2 cup since they’re sweeter.
What can I use instead of whey isolate?
Egg white protein powder works well and keeps carbs low. Avoid collagen; it changes the texture.
Why did my loaf turn out too moist?
It may need more baking time. Almond flour baked goods often require a full 45–50 minutes.
Can I swap almond flour?
No — almond flour gives structure. Coconut flour alone will make it dry and crumbly.
Is this loaf Weight Watchers friendly?
Yes. It uses Greek yogurt, low-carb flours, and sugar-free sweeteners to stay point-friendly.
