Low Carb Zucchini Bread

Many people assume that a keto diet consists of nothing more than meats, eggs, and cheese, but this zucchini bread recipe proves just the opposite.

It's made with almond flour and coconut oil, so it has the perfect combination of good fats and protein.

Maple flavored syrup and fragrant notes of cinnamon pack a punch of flavor so decadent that you'll forget it's low carb.

Plus, anything that contains zucchini is basically a vegetable, right? Well, maybe not, but with only 7 net carbs per serving, this quick bread recipe is definitely one you can feel good about.

Keto Sweetener Substitutions

There are lots of different low-carb sweeteners on the market, thanks to the growing demand for keto-friendly products.

I like to use a maple flavored syrup in this keto bread recipe because it adds a delicious hint of caramel flavor. Lakanto and ChocZero brands both have maple flavored syrups, and most of the popular brands of pancake syrup have a sugar free option that would work too.

If you prefer a sweetener that's more similar to sugar, you can replace the syrup with a granulated sweetener of your choice. Look for sweeteners that are made from erithrytol, stevia, allulose, or monkfruit.

Brands like Swerve and Thrive Market's Switch are made with a combination of a few different granulated sweeteners so they have the most authentic sugar-style flavor and have the ideal texture for baking.

How to Make Zucchini Bread

1. Add the almond flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
2. Add the coconut oil, maple flavored syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs and mix until combined and no lumps remain.
3. Add the shredded zucchini.
4. Stir until the zucchini is well incorporated into the batter.
5. Spoon the batter evenly into your parchment lined loaf pan and bake as directed.
6. Let the loaf cool completely before slicing.

Baking Zucchini Bread with Almond Flour

Almond flour contains more fat and protein than other flours. Keep in mind that because almond flour does not contain gluten, it will typically cause your baked goods to come out flatter and more dense than baked goods that contain wheat flours.

For best results, store your almond flour in the fridge or freezer to keep it fresh, and always remember to bring it to room temperature before baking.

Since it's made from almonds, it can go rancid if not used within a certain period of time, so always keep track of when you opened the bag.

As with any flour, you should always use the "spoon & level" method when measuring.

Too much almond flour will cause your zucchini bread to have a texture that is undesirable, so it's important to follow the recipe exactly.

Ways to Serve Zucchini Bread

Zucchini bread makes a great breakfast, snack, or dessert on its own, but there are several ways to jazz it up.

For breakfast, serve with a veggie omelet and a bulletproof coffee, and you'll stay full and satisfied until lunchtime.

When I need an afternoon pick-me-up, I like to spread a little butter or cream cheese on a slice for a quick and filling snack that I can eat on-the-go.

To serve your low carb zucchini bread for dessert, you can top it with a hefty dollop of keto whipped cream and a sprinkle of your favorite sugar free chocolate chips.
