Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
    • Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the erythritol and continue mixing until light and fluffy.

  1. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until well combined.
    • If the batter feels too thick, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk.
  3. Fold in Cranberries:

  4. Bake the Loaf:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  5. Cool the Loaf:
