3-Ingredient Diabetic Sugar-Free Blueberry Loaf

Moist • Low-Carb • No Sugar Added • 1 Bowl • Christmas Edition

Ingredients (Only 3!)

Base Recipe

  1. Almond flour – 2 cups (200 g)
    (Low carb, diabetic-friendly, keeps loaf moist)

  2. Eggs – 4 large
    (Provides lift since we use no baking powder)

  3. Fresh blueberries – 1 to 1½ cups
    (Natural sweetness)

Optional But Recommended (do NOT count toward 3 ingredients)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 2–3 tbsp sugar-free sweetener (erythritol/stevia/monk fruit) if you prefer sweeter

  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Line a loaf pan with parchment or lightly grease it.

  3. In a bowl, whisk 4 eggs until frothy.

  4. Add almond flour and mix until a smooth batter forms.

  5. Fold in blueberries gently (reserve a few for the top).

  6. Pour batter into the loaf pan and top with extra berries.

  7. Bake 45–55 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  8. Let cool fully before slicing—this helps it firm up.

Description

This loaf is naturally moist thanks to almond flour and eggs, with bursts of juicy blueberries throughout. It has a tender, cake-like crumb and a subtle natural sweetness. Perfect for Christmas breakfast, diabetic-friendly dessert, or gifting to someone avoiding sugar.

Recipe Notes

  • Almond flour can brown quickly; cover the loaf loosely with foil in the last 15 minutes if needed.

  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw; toss in almond flour to prevent sinking.

  • Loaf tastes even better the next day after chilling.

  • To reduce carbs further, use ¾ cup blueberries instead of 1 cup.

Tips for Best Results

  • Whip eggs well for better rise.

  • Don’t over-mix after adding berries.

  • For extra moistness, add 2 tbsp sugar-free Greek yogurt (optional).

  • Use high-quality almond flour (fine blanched).

Servings

10 slices per loaf.

Q3: Will this spike blood sugar?

A: It is low carb and contains no added sugars, so it is generally diabetic-friendly. Always consider individual tolerance.
