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:
- 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.
- Transfer to the pan: Grease a 9 x 4-inch loaf pan, then transfer the batter into it.
- 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.
