Keto Zucchini Bread
Moist, lightly spiced zucchini bread made with almond flour — about 3 g net carbs per slice, with no sugar or wheat.
Serves 10 (1 loaf, 10 slices) · Prep 15 min · Cook 50 min
Ingredients
- 200 g almond flour
- 1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
- 3 large eggs
- 60 g melted butter
- 40 g walnuts, chopped
- 80 g granulated erythritol or allulose (no net carbs counted), 2 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch of salt
Method
- Heat the oven to 175 °C and line a loaf tin.
- Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much water as you can in a clean towel.
- Whisk the eggs, butter, sweetener and vanilla. Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, spices and salt, then the zucchini and walnuts.
- Spread in the tin and bake 45–55 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Cover with foil after 30 minutes if it browns quickly.
- Cool completely before slicing.
Tip. Squeezing the zucchini dry is the step that stops a soggy middle.
