Keto Zucchini Bread | Healthy, Easy, Low Carb, Zucchini Bread Recipe

This is by far THE BEST healthy, low carb, keto zucchini bread recipe! It’s moist, it's flavorful, and it's ever so slightly sweetened. And it’s just so easy to make too. Plus, each slice has only 3 net carbs!

Keto Zucchini Bread

There’s so much you can do with this keto zucchini bread. You can use it for a keto sandwich, have it every day with your favorite drink, or incorporate it in a salad.

The possibilities are endless!

Best of all, at only 3 net carbs per serving, this bread gives you all the satisfaction without the guilt.

Honestly, I love this recipe because it’s super easy to make. After prepping and mixing the ingredients, all you have to do is wait for the bread to finish baking!

Actually, waiting for the bread to bake might be the hardest part of making it.

Oh, and there’s no proofing involved either. Unlike a lot of bread recipes, where you need to wait a few hours for the bread to rest and expand before you can do anything else, there’s none of that in this keto zucchini bread recipe!

It’s an absolute piece of cake – well, a piece of bread.

Ingredients for Low Carb Zucchini Bread

So, this zucchini bread recipe is full of ingredients that contribute to its excellent flavor and texture. I’m not going to go into detail about everything, just the stuff that’s super important to this recipe. 

Zucchini

First – and most obviously – let's talk about the zucchini.

You’ll want to grate about 2 medium-sized zucchinis for this recipe. It’s the star of this low carb bread because it gives a light & refreshing flavor that you don’t get in a lot of other bread recipes.

Plus, zucchini is totally low carb and keto friendly too!

Keto Flours

I also want to talk about the mix of almond flour and coconut flour that you’ll be using for this recipe.

I’ve mentioned a lot in the past how coconut flour can make some recipes dry and crumbly. It also has a sort of intense coconut flavor that doesn’t work in some contexts.

BUT, in this recipe, coconut flour is a winner.

Mixing it with the almond flour gives the bread a lighter, ever so slightly chewy texture that is PERFECT for this zucchini bread.

And it's imperative to use coconut flour in this recipe because it helps soak up the excess water that is naturally expelled from the zucchini as it bakes.

Plus, the flavor works perfectly in this recipe too.

That said, don’t use more coconut flour in place of almond flour – the ratios in this recipe are already what you want. If you need an almond flour substitute, you can sub in walnut flour or sunflower seed flour at a 1 to 1 ratio.

The Best Spice Mix for Keto Zucchini Bread

Now, I’ll let you in on the secret to making this the BEST keto zucchini bread recipe you should try: apple pie spice mix.

Apple pie spice mix has a great blend of spices: usually cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom. And the addition of the spice mix takes the flavors in this keto zucchini bread to another level.

Any apple pie spice mix will do – just make sure it doesn’t have any sugar in it...that’s extra carbs and extra sweetness we don’t need.

No Sugar Zucchini Bread

Lastly, I use Confectioners Swerve in this recipe to impart just a little sweetness that brings all those fantastic flavors out.

Swerve is my favorite keto friendly sugar substitute. It TRULY has 0 net carbs, and zero calories per serving.

Also, there's no sugar added to Swerve like there is with a lot of stevia products. If you ever see the words, maltodextrin or dextrose, on the back of those packages, THAT'S SUGAR.

Another great thing about Swerve is that it's as sweet as sugar. So replacing sugar in recipes that call for it is a breeze.

I use Swerve in a lot of my dessert recipes, and even in some drinks – like this keto dalgona coffee recipe. So, if you've never used it before, it's definitely worth picking some up.

That said, erythritol is 70% as sweet as sugar. A lot of people think you can substitute Swerve and erythritol equally for one another, but you can't. So don't replace the Swerve in this zucchini bread recipe with pure erythritol. The bread won't be sweet enough if you do.

Now, if you'd like to substitute out the Swerve I'd do it by using this granulated monk fruit. This is as sweet as sugar, so it can be replaced 1:1 with Confectioners Swerve.

By the way, they sell a confectioners variety of the monk fruit as well, but it's 2 times sweeter than sugar. DO NOT use this, it's too sweet.

Consider Adding Some Keto Friendly Nuts & Seeds

Oh, and as an option, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the top of this bread.

They add a super satisfying crunch and go well with the flavors in this bread.

Also, if you want to know more about nuts and seeds you can have on keto, I’ve made a convenient list that you can check out.

Maybe you could try adding some of those on top of this bread too.

And let me know how it goes if you do!

HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI BREAD KETO

This recipe doesn’t take much effort to make – it’s mostly a lot of mixing and a little bit of prep work for the zucchini.

Then you just wait for the bread to finish baking.

Like I said, totally easy!

So, the first thing you’ll want to do is finely grate the zucchini.

Then you’re going to place it in a sieve or strainer and press the moisture out with your hands or a spoon.

Next, you’ll want to add & mix all your dry ingredients – except for the zucchini and nuts, those go in last - in a medium-sized bowl.

Then you’ll stir in the wet ingredients, followed by the zucchini and some of the nuts.

Finally, move the batter into a loaf pan and sprinkle on more nuts if you’re adding them.

Cook the loaf for 50-70 minutes. The cook-time will vary so much because the amount of water in your zucchini will fluctuate.

Also, I like to cover my loaf after around 30 minutes. This helps ensure the crust turns out golden brown.

That said, You’ll know it’s done when you can insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.

Once this happens, you can remove the zucchini bread from the oven and let it cool down in the pan. 

And that’s it!

Insanely easy & healthy keto zucchini bread in only about an hour.

WHAT TO EAT WITH KETO ZUCCHINI BREAD

As I’ve said, this low carb bread would make an excellent sandwich, side, or even a light meal all on its own.

Recently I shared a recipe for sugar free dalgona coffee, and it would pair incredibly well with this bread.

My bulletproof coffee recipe would be awesome too.

Or, you could try it as a side to this ultra-creamy and super flavorful keto tuna salad. Personally, I think combining them makes an incredibly delicious keto lunch idea.

Plus, the two recipes together - the zucchini bread and tuna salad - only have 4.5 total net carbs!
