Keto Zucchini Bread

There’s so much you can do with this keto zucchini bread. You can use it for a keto sandwich, have it every day with your favorite drink, or incorporate it in a salad.

Best of all, atonly 3 net carbsper serving, this bread gives you all the satisfaction without the guilt.

Honestly, I love this recipe because it’s super easyto make. After prepping and mixing the ingredients, all you have to do is wait for the bread to finish baking!

Actually, waiting for the bread to bake might be the hardest part of making it.

Oh, and there’sno proofing involved either. Unlike a lot of bread recipes, where you need to wait a few hours for the bread to rest and expand before you can do anything else, there’s none of that in this almond flour zucchini bread recipe!

It’s an absolute piece of cake – well, a piece of bread.

Ingredients for Low Carb Zucchini Bread

There are actually only 10 ingredients you'll need to make this zucchini bread.

And, most - if not all of them - you probably have on hand already.

Here's what you'll need:

• Grated Zucchini - about 2 medium-sized ones
• 1 ½ Cup Almond Flour
• ½ Cup Coconut Flour
• Heaping 3 Tablespoons Confectioners Swerve
• 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Apple Pie Spice Mix
• ⅓ Teaspoon Salt
• 4 Eggs, Beaten
• 3 Tablespoons Melted Butter - or coconut oil
• ¼ Cup Heavy Cream
• 1 Teaspoon (4g) Pure Vanilla Extract
• Optional: Chopped Nuts, or Sugar Free Chocolate Chips

So, as I'm sure you can tell, this zucchini bread recipe is full of ingredients that contribute to its excellent flavor and texture. I’m not going to go into detail about everything, just the stuff that’s super important to this recipe.

Using Zucchini To Make This Bread Recipe

First – and most obviously – let's talk about the zucchini.

You’ll want to grate about2 medium-sized zucchinis for this recipe. It’s also the star of this low carb bread because it gives a light & refreshing flavor that you don’t get in a lot of other bread recipes.

Plus, zucchini is totally low carb and keto friendly too!

Keto Flours To Use

I also want to talk about the mix ofalmond flourandcoconut flourthat you’ll be using for this recipe.

I’ve mentioned a lot in the past how coconut flour can make some recipes dry and crumbly. It also has a sort of intense coconut flavor that doesn’t work in some contexts.

BUT,in this recipe,coconut flouris awinner.

Mixing it with thealmond flour gives the bread a lighter, ever so slightly chewy texture that is PERFECT for this zucchini bread.

And it's imperative to use coconut flour in this recipe because it helps soak up the excess water that is naturally expelled from the zucchini as it bakes.

Plus, the flavor works perfectly in this recipe too.

That said,don’tuse morecoconut flourin place ofalmond flour– the ratios in this recipe are already what you want. If you need an almond flour substitute, you can sub inwalnut flourorsunflower seed flourat a 1 to 1 ratio.

Also, for what it's worth, since this is a coconut flour & almond flour zucchini bread, it's also totally gluten free! So, if you have a gluten sensitivity - or intolerance - this recipe will be perfect for you.

The Best Spice Mix for Keto Zucchini Bread

So, now I'm going to let you in on the secret to making this the BEST zucchini bread in the world and that is...apple pie spice mix.

Apple pie spice mix has a great blend of spices: usually cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom. And the addition of the spice mix takes the flavors in this sugar free zucchini bread to another level.

Any apple pie spice mix will do – just make sure it doesn’t have any sugar in it...that’s extra carbs and extra sweetness we don’t need.

No Sugar Zucchini Bread

Lastly, I useConfectioners Swervein this recipe to impart just a littlesweetnessthat brings all those fantastic flavors out.

Swerve is my favorite keto friendly sugar substitute. It TRULY has 0 net carbs, and zero calories per serving.

Also, there's no sugar added to Swerve like there is with a lot of stevia products. If you ever see the words, maltodextrin or dextrose, on the back of those packages, THAT'S SUGAR.

Another great thing about Swerve is that it's as sweet as sugar. So replacing sugar in recipes that call for it is a breeze.

I use Swerve in a lot of my dessert recipes, and even in some drinks – like thisketo dalgona coffee recipe. So, if you've never used it before, it's definitely worth picking some up.

That said, erythritol is 70% as sweet as sugar. A lot of people think you can substitute Swerve and erythritol equally for one another, but you can't.

So, don't try to replace the Swerve in this almond flour zucchini bread recipe with pure erythritol. The bread won't be sweet enough if you do.

However, if you'd like to substitute out the Swerve I'd do it by using some granulated Lakanto's monk fruit sweetener. Monk fruit sweetener is as sweet as sugar - atleast Lakanto's is - so it can be replaced 1:1 with Confectioners Swerve.

Toppings To Use For The Bread

As an option, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the top of this bread.

They add a super satisfying crunchand go well with the flavors in this bread.

Also, if you want to know more about the best nuts and seeds you can have on keto, I’ve made a convenientlist that you can check out.

Maybe you could try adding some of those on top of this bread too.

And let me know how it goes if you do!

Also, if you're looking for a sweeter option as an add-in for this keto bread recipe you could always use some sugar free chocolate chips. I like to use the semi-sweet chocolate chips from Lily's, but I know a lot of people love the sugar free ones by Choczero too.

HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI BREAD KETO

As I mentioned earlier, making this low carb zucchini loaf is super simple. All you have to do is follow a few simple steps.

Step 1: Prep Work

Alright, so, the first thing you’ll want to do is finely gratethe zucchini.

Then, you’re going to place the grated zucchini in a sieve or strainer, and press the moisture out with your hands or a spoon.

Step 2: Mixing The Ingredients

Next, you’ll want to add & mix all your dry ingredients – except for the grated zucchini and nuts, those go in last - in a medium-sized bowl.

Then you’ll stir in the wet ingredients, followed by the zucchini and some of the nuts.

Step 3: Baking The Loaf

Finally, move the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle on more nuts - or chocolate chips - if you’re adding them.

Cook the loaf for 50-70 minutes. The cook-time will vary so much because the amount of water in your zucchini will fluctuate.

Also, I like to cover my keto bread loaf after around 30 minutes. This helps ensure the crust turns out golden brown.

That said, You’ll know it’s done when you can insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.

Once this happens, you can remove the zucchini bread from the oven and let it cool down in the pan.

And that’s it!

Insanely easy & healthy zucchini bread in only about an hour.

WHAT TO PAIR WITH THIS KETO ZUCCHINI BREAD

As I’ve said, this low carb bread would make anexcellentsandwich, side, or even a light meal all on its own.

Recently I shared a recipe for sugar free dalgona coffee, and it would pair incredibly well with this bread.

My bulletproof coffee recipewould be awesome too.

Or, you could try it as a side to this ultra-creamy and super flavorfulketo tuna salad. Personally, I think combining them makes an incredibly delicious keto lunch idea.

Plus, the two recipes together - the zucchini bread and tuna salad - only have 4.5 total net carbs!
