Keto Almond Poppy Seed Bread Recipe

One of my favorite sweet foods for breakfast when I was living in Mississippi was the Almond Poppyseed Bread that the Mennonites would sell at roadside stands. This was one of their biggest hits, and I swear that everyone in town ate it for breakfast on the weekends. We would heat it up and then melt some Salted Butter on it and it was so delightful. These days it seems that most people are eating Almond Poppyseed Bread from a box, and I figured it would be too hard to make a Mennonite replica that was Keto-friendly. Boy was I wrong!

After spending the first few minutes in the oven the downstairs began to fill with a warm and delicious smell of Almond Poppyseed Bread baking. It didn’t take long for the kids to come down and start getting nosey, asking me what I was making and when we were going to eat it. My 5 year old claimed that she was going to have 5 slices all to herself (she would have eaten 3 at least if we had more, because she ate two slices like it was no big deal). This was just as good as any I have ever had in my life.

You could also opt to put a drizzle of Heavy Whipping Cream, Salted Butter, and Monkfruit Sweetener on top if you want, but I left it out in this recipe when I baked it for the photos.

I know that there will likely be a lot of questions about whether you can make Muffin out of this recipe, and YES you absolutely can. Also, if you want to try baking it with Almond Flour instead of the Coconut Flour you can do that too, but I prefer the texture of this being made with the Coconut Flour, as it tastes more like the original that way.

SPECIAL NOTE: I do NOT recommend making this recipe with a straight up Stevia sweetener. If you do that, you will bake a bitterness into the bread that will not be desirable. That is specifically why I use the Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener as it has a predictable taste after baking. There are some Stevia blends out there that feature primarily Erythritol as the main ingredient, and those are generally acceptable if that is the type of sweetener you prefer to use.

Keto Lemon Pound Cake Recipe (bundt Cake)

Yes, sure- ABSOLUTELY. I've got you covered. I've got a couple of different options for you if you just aren't into coconut.

First up is a dairy free & sugar free vanilla buttercream I used to top off my Keto Lemon Cake recipe. It takes very little time to whip up and freezes well, too.

You can also try this lemon poppy seed bread with the cashew topping I used in my Paleo Carrot Bread recipe. It's completely dairy free but is not keto.

Keto Everything Bagel Almond Flour Bread (low Carb, Gluten Free)

Here is what I recommend… try to stick to the original recipe as much as possible. I know for sure you can use erythritol (Lakantois my favorite!), Swerveorxylitol.

*If you do end up using xylitol, make sure tobe careful if you have a dog(or cat) around the house, as it is highly toxic to those little friends!*

I have not tested this recipe, nor do I ever really work with stevia, so I cannot speak to how that would work out.

Almond Poppy Seed Bread {with Vanilla Glaze}

It is very important that you stick to using a super fine almond flour, and my recommended tried and true, go-to brands are both:Bob’s Red MillandWellbee’s.

The glaze is so quick and easy to whip up, I highly recommend not skipping this part of the recipe. What you will need to do to make sure it turns out perfect are just a few simple things:

Process the sweetener you are using (Lakanto, Swerveorxylitol) through a dry coffee grinder for a few seconds until it turns into a powder. They also sell confectioners versions of these products if you don’t have access to a grinder.

Perfect Poppy Seed Bread

Using a double boiler method or in a glass bowl in the microwave, melt the coconut butter over low heat until smooth and creamy throughout. Remove from heat.

Almond

Slowly whisk in the sweetener until no clumps remain. At this point, the glaze will be quite thick. Add in the non-dairy milk (I used unsweetened almond) about 1 tablespoon at a time until it has reached your desired consistency.

I prefer my glaze to be in between thin and thick. I ended up using equal amounts of coconut butter and milk, and it was perfect!

However, you get to enjoy a slice of this loaf without all of the achy pains and sugar crashes that come alongside eating the bread from Starbucks.

I highly recommend using fresh squeezed lemon juice in this recipe, as the jarred lemon juice will give off an unpleasant aftertaste sometimes.

We have a huge and bountiful lemon tree in our yard that I had the privilege of picking lemons from for this deliciousness.

If you *are* going to make this bread though, I think a slice (or two) would be absolutely heavenly toasted in the oven with a lather of grass-fed butter on top.

Well, I think it's time to get to it in the kitchen. This keto lemon poppy seed bread seems to freeze well, so I may whip up a few more batches to throw into the freezer for later on.

Be sure to slice before freezing, and it will keep for up to 3 months. You can also keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy! 🙂

I love how the lemon flavor is balanced with the rich taste of butter, and how the use of both vanilla and lemon extract gives it a unique depth.

If that’s not enough, I have added a tiny amount of culinary lavender, totally optional, that takes it to even greater culinary heights. Add or leave out according to your personal taste.

But it’s also a great option to share during special occasions with even those not on a low-carb diet because it’s a mouth-watering cake everyone will enjoy!
