I’m a huge fan of keto baking, and I love to make brownies, cookies, keto blueberry bread, and this keto zucchini bread.

This zucchini bread is quite interesting due to the star ingredient, the zucchini, which does not have a neutral taste. It’s such a fantastic way to include more vegetables into your diet.

Keto Zucchini Bread Ingredients

keto zucchini bread ingredients
  • Almond Flour – use superfine, blanched almond flour for the best fluffy bread texture.
  • Eggs – large eggs at room temperature help all the ingredients bind together. 
  • Zucchini – you’ll need 1 1/2 cups of shredded zucchini that you don’t have to feel.  
  • Butter – Use unsalted butter since salted butter will overpower the sweetness. Replace with melted coconut oil or avocado oil for a dairy-free bread.
  • Sweetener –  To prepare a paleo zucchini bread, use your favorite granular sweeteners, such as Erythritol, Monk fruit, or even coconut sugar.
  • Baking Powder – helps the bread rise beautifully.
  • Cinnamon – gives that perfect touch to this zucchini bread.
  • Salt – Brings out the sweetness of this dessert.

How To Make Zucchini Bread

This keto zucchini bread recipe is so easy to make that there’s no way to go wrong. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

  1. Grate the zucchini. Then use a kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. Make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, melted butter, and zucchini over the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is formed.
  3. Transfer the batter mixture into a pan and smooth the top using a rubber spatula.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a skewer comes out almost clean. Cool completely before slicing.

Tips for Making The Best Keto Zucchini Bread

  • This recipe can be made into zucchini muffins instead of a loaf.
  • To prevent the zucchini bread from sticking to the pan, line with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
  • Cover the bread with tin foil to prevent the loaf from browning too much. 
  • Don’t overmix: Overmixing the batter may cause the bread to become dense and tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
  • Let the zucchini bread cool before slicing: Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
  • Grate the zucchini using the smallest side of your grater and then squeeze out any excess moisture. This will prevent the bread from becoming too wet and soggy.

Variations

  • Chocolate: If you are a chocolate lover, you can add some unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Pumpkin Spice: add 1 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice to the zucchini bread.
  • Blueberry and Lemon: Add some brightness to your zucchini bread with lemon zest and juicy blueberries.
  • Lemon: Add some tangy sweetness to your zucchini bread with a simple lemon glaze.
  • Peanut Butter: Add some protein to your zucchini bread with creamy peanut butter.
  • Apple Cinnamon: Incorporate a few apple slices and add cinnamon to taste.
  • Lime and Coconut: Add some tropical flavors to your zucchini bread with lime and coconut.
  • Savory Keto Zucchini Bread with Parmesan and Garlic: Switch up the classic sweet zucchini bread for a savory version with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.

Storing Ideas

  • Room Temperature: You can slice this zucchini bread and store it in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • Fridge: Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days in an airtight container.
  • Freezer: You can also freeze this zucchini bread. Allow it to cool completely before slicing it, and wrap it in parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
