4 tbsp butter (grass fed, unsalted - I prefer the brand Kerrygold)
2 eggs (large organic, at room temperature)
1/2 cup brown monk fruit (or brown sugar substitute of choice)
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (organic, or oat flour works too)
2 tbsp corn starch
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt (fine)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

For the Donut Topping:

1 tbsp butter (grass fed, unsalted)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup monk fruit (granular, or granular sweetener of choice)

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a standard sized loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with avocado oil.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients: flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3
In another large bowl, beat the eggs and brown monk fruit sweetener until smooth.
4
Slowly whisk in the melted butter, then add yogurt, vanilla extract, and warmed almond milk. Mix until well combined.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated—do not overmix.
6
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8
Allow loaf to cool completely before adding the topping.
9
Brush the loaf with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon "sugar" topping evenly over the top and sides. Slice and enjoy!
