Keto Zucchini Bread

Here’s a delicious keto-friendly zucchini bread recipe that’s moist, flavorful, and low in carbs:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/3 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, helps with texture)
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or butter)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1-2 medium zucchini)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial for the right texture.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum (if using).
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
5. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
6. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and nuts (if using), being careful not to overmix.
7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

This keto zucchini bread has approximately 3-4g net carbs per slice (based on 12 slices per loaf) and keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze individual slices for up to 3 months for a quick keto-friendly treat anytime.

For extra flavor variations, consider adding sugar-free chocolate chips, a teaspoon of orange zest, or a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice to the batter!
