Ingredients for Keto Blueberry Bread

This almond flour blueberry bread is made with simple, low-carb ingredients and comes together easily with just a loaf pan and an oven. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Eggs – Use large eggs at room temperature for the best texture and even mixing.
• Almond Flour & Coconut Flour – A combo of both flours gives this bread the perfect soft, moist crumb. Almond flour brings richness, while coconut flour helps absorb moisture and balance the structure.
• Blueberries – Naturally low in carbs and full of flavor. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Feel free to swap with chopped strawberries or raspberries if you prefer.
• Sweetener – Erythritol is my go-to for this bread—it’s affordable, low-carb, and won’t spike blood sugar. You can also use monk fruit sweetener if you like a smoother, no-aftertaste option.
• Heavy Cream or Coconut Cream – For a dairy-free and paleo-friendly version, coconut cream (from a can) works beautifully. Otherwise, heavy cream gives a rich and tender texture.
• Vanilla Extract – Adds warm, sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the blueberries.
• Baking Powder – A must for helping the bread rise and keeping it light and fluffy.

How to Make Keto Blueberry Bread

Making this low-carb blueberry bread at home is quick and straightforward. Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, you’re just a few steps away from a delicious treat:

Start by combining the eggs in a large bowl with the sweetener, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix for a few minutes until frothy.

Combine the low carb flours, and baking powder. Mix in the egg mixture and stir using a spatula until smooth.

Incorporate the juicy blueberries. You can add more blueberries or substitute them with fresh raspberries.

Transfer the batter to a greased small loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Keto Cream Cheese Lemon Frosting

This smooth, tangy lemon frosting pairs perfectly with your blueberry bread or any keto baked treat. It’s creamy, sweet (without sugar), and super easy to make!

• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup Powdered Erythritol
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tbsp Heavy cream 
• 2 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tbsp lemon zest

In a big bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Turn the mixer off and add the powdered sweetener, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream. Continue mixing until well incorporated. For a thicker keto cream cheese frosting, add more cream cheese.

Tips and Variations to Make the Best Almond Blueberry Bread

• Cool Before Frosting: Let the bread cool completely before adding any glaze or frosting. If it’s still warm, the topping will melt and slide off.
• Avoid Overbaking: Keep an eye on the baking time. Almond flour bread continues to cook slightly as it cools, so pull it out when the center is just set. Overbaking can make it dry or give it an eggy texture.
• Turn It Into Muffins: Prefer muffins instead of a loaf? Simply divide the batter into muffin tins and bake for 20–25 minutes. It’s a great option for meal prep or portion control.
• Stop the Berries from Sinking: Toss the blueberries in a little coconut flour before folding them into the batter. This helps them stay evenly distributed instead of sinking to the bottom.
• Thick Batter Is Normal: Don’t worry if the batter feels thick—that’s how it should be. Use a spatula to smooth out the top before baking for an even rise.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Baking with low-carb flours can be a little different from traditional baking. Here’s how to fix some of the most common issues with keto blueberry bread:

• Bread is Too Dry – This often happens from overbaking or using too little liquid. Make sure to check your oven early and use a timer. You can also try adding a tablespoon more cream next time for extra moisture.
• Bread is Too Moist or Dense – If your bread feels wet or gummy in the center, it may need a few more minutes in the oven. Also, let it cool fully—it firms up as it sits.
• Bread Didn’t Rise – Flat bread usually means the baking powder didn’t do its job. Always use fresh baking powder and whisk it evenly into the dry ingredients to activate properly.
• Bread Is Browning Too Fast – If the top is getting dark too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with a piece of aluminum foil halfway through baking. Also, make sure your oven isn’t running hotter than expected—an oven thermometer can help.
• Bread Falls Apart When Sliced – Almond flour breads need time to set. If it crumbles or breaks apart, it likely just needs to cool completely. Slicing too early traps steam inside and makes it unstable.

How To Store Keto Lemon Blueberry Loaf?

• Fridge – Allow the bread to cool down completely, then store it in a sealed container for up to 7 days.
• Freezer – Slice the bread and place slices in freezer-safe bags. Freeze almond flour blueberry bread for up to 6 months.
• Reheating – To reheat, let thaw in the fridge or on the counter, then reheat in the microwave.
