KETO ZUCCHINI BREAD Recipe by ARMAN

Zucchini is a fantastic vegetable to include on a keto diet. It’s low in carbs, with just 4 grams of net carbs in a cup. It’s perfect in both sweet and savory recipes.

Why you will love this recipe:

  • One bowl: One for the dry ingredients and one for the wet ingredients.
  • No sugar is needed: It’s the perfect quick bread that works well.
  • Works as muffins too: Easily use the batter in muffin tins to make zucchini muffins instead! 
  • Moist, tender, and no zucchini flavor: It hits all the texture and flavor boxes.

Ingredients For Perfect Keto Zucchini Bread:

  • Almond flour: Almond flour must be used, not almond meal. The blanched variety yields lighter and fluffier bread. 
  • Coconut flour: Gives the bread a slightly cakey texture, perfect to balance the moistness of the loaf. 
  • Granulated sweetener of choice: Used allulose, but a brown sugar substitute also works. 
  • Baking powder: Leavening agent to give some rise and depth. 
  • Eggs: Room temperature eggs. 
  • Greek yogurt: Adds extra moisture to the bread. You can also use sour cream. 
  • Butter: Softened and salted butter. 
  • Milk of choice: Used unsweetened coconut milk, but use your favorite keto milk.
  • Vanilla extract: A must for any good quick bread. 
  • Zucchini: Finely shredded zucchini. Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture, to ensure the bread doesn’t sink in the middle. 

Instructions:

  1. Make the batter: Mix your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients then fold through the zucchini. 
  2. Transfer to the pan: Grease a 9 x 4-inch loaf pan, then transfer the batter into it. 
  3. Bake the bread: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean. Remove it from the pan and let it cool completely, before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Ensure all the moisture is squeezed out of the zucchini to prevent the bread from sinking or becoming super moist. 
  • Oven makes and models differ, so you may find your bread taking slightly longer to cook. If you are worried about the top over-browning, cover it with tin foil until it is cooked.
  • Avoid over-baking, as the bread continues to cook in the pan as it is cooling down.

Storing and freezing:

  • To store: Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator, covered. It will keep well for up to 1 week. 
  • To freeze: Place slices of zucchini bread in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
