[No Added Sugar] · [Low Carb] · [Baked] Prep: 20 min · Bake: 45–50 min · Makes: 10 slices
🍎 Dry Batter Mix:
* 1 cup (96g / 3.4 oz) almond flour, finely ground
* ¼ cup (24g / 0.85 oz) unflavored whey protein isolate
* ⅓ cup (55g / 2 oz) powdered allulose
* 1½ tsp baking powder
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* ¼ tsp fine sea salt
🥚 Wet Batter Mix:
* 3 large eggs, room temperature
* ⅓ cup (80g / 2.8 oz) 0% Greek yogurt
* 1 tbsp (14g / 0.5 oz) unsalted butter, melted
* ¾ cup (95g / 3.4 oz) apple, peeled, very finely diced, and patted dry
🍂 Cinnamon Swirl:
* 1 tbsp powdered allulose
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
🍯 Caramel Pecan Topping:
* 3 tbsp (36g) granular allulose
* 1 tbsp (14g / 0.5 oz) unsalted butter
* 1 tbsp (15ml) unsweetened almond milk
* 3 tbsp (20g / 0.7 oz) raw pecans, roughly chopped
* Pinch of fine sea salt
📋 Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C); line an 8×4 inch (20×10 cm) loaf pan with parchment leaving overhang on two sides; lightly grease the short sides.
2. Whisk almond flour, whey protein isolate, powdered allulose, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
3. Beat eggs on high speed for 3 minutes until pale and slightly thickened; whisk in Greek yogurt and melted butter until smooth; fold dry ingredients into wet mixture just until combined; fold in diced apple.
4. Mix 1 tbsp powdered allulose and 1 tsp cinnamon for the swirl; spread half the batter into the prepared pan; sprinkle cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter; spoon remaining batter over the top and smooth gently.
5. Bake 45–50 minutes until deeply golden and a toothpick inserted in the center shows only a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool in pan 15 minutes; lift out using parchment and cool another 15–20 minutes — loaf should be warm not hot before topping.
7. Melt granular allulose in a small saucepan over medium heat swirling the pan only — never stir — until light amber.
8. Add butter and stir gently until melted; carefully add almond milk and salt; stir until completely smooth.
9. Remove from heat; stir in chopped pecans; cool 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened but still pourable.
10. Spoon caramel pecan topping over the warm loaf letting it drip naturally down the sides.
11. Cool completely before slicing — topping sets as it cools.
12. Slice with a warm dry knife; store covered at room temperature up to 3 days.
💡 Tips:
* Dice apple very fine and pat bone-dry — wet apple collapses the crumb.
* Let caramel thicken 2–3 min before pouring — runny caramel soaks in instead of sitting on top.
