Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 3 large Eggs
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 50 grams Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should be thick but pliable.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a long rectangular loaf, about 1 inch high.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the top is golden and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes, leaving the oven on.

Step 8

Once slightly cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to slice the loaf into individual rusks, about 1/2 inch wide.

Step 9

Lay the slices flat on the baking sheet and return them to the oven.

Step 10

Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then flip each rusk over and bake for another 10 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the rusks from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. They will harden further as they cool.

Step 12

Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
