Easy Keto Zucchini Bread
Oh, and there’sno 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 almond flour zucchini bread recipe!
So, as I'm sure you can tell, 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.
You’ll want to grate about2 medium-sized zucchinis for this recipe. It’s also 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.
Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Bread
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.
Mixing it with thealmond 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.

That said, don’tuse morecoconut flourin place ofalmond flour– the ratios in this recipe are already what you want. If you need an almond flour substitute, you can sub inwalnut flourorsunflower seed flourat a 1 to 1 ratio.
Also, for what it's worth, since this is a coconut flour & almond flour zucchini bread, it's also totally gluten free! So, if you have a gluten sensitivity - or intolerance - this recipe will be perfect for you.
So, now I'm going to let you in on the secret to making this the BEST zucchini bread in the world and that is...apple pie spice mix.
Gluten Free, Paleo & Keto Savory Zucchini Bread
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 sugar free 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.
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.
Best Ever Keto Zucchini Bread
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 thisketo 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.
Keto Zucchini Bread With Almond Flour
So, don't try to replace the Swerve in this almond flour zucchini bread recipe with pure erythritol. The bread won't be sweet enough if you do.
However, if you'd like to substitute out the Swerve I'd do it by using some granulated Lakanto's monk fruit sweetener. Monk fruit sweetener is as sweet as sugar - atleast Lakanto's is - so it can be replaced 1:1 with Confectioners Swerve.

Also, if you're looking for a sweeter option as an add-in for this keto bread recipe you could always use some sugar free chocolate chips. I like to use the semi-sweet chocolate chips from Lily's, but I know a lot of people love the sugar free ones by Choczero too.
As I mentioned earlier, making this low carb zucchini loaf is super simple. All you have to do is follow a few simple steps.
Then, you’re going to place the grated zucchini in a sieve or strainer, and press the moisture out with your hands or a spoon.
Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Bread (so Moist!)
Next, you’ll want to add & mix all your dry ingredients – except for the grated zucchini and nuts, those go in last - in a medium-sized bowl.
Finally, move the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle on more nuts - or chocolate chips - 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 keto bread loaf after around 30 minutes. This helps ensure the crust turns out golden brown.
Or, you could try it as a side to this ultra-creamy and super flavorfulketo tuna salad. Personally, I think combining them makes an incredibly delicious keto lunch idea.

Savory Keto Veggie Loaf
Zucchini really is a versatile low carb vegetable. I don’t like it raw very much but roasted or grilled, it becomes flavorful and tender.
It’s useful in savory dishes as zucchini noodles, and it can also be turned into keto zucchini boats and stuffed with any number of delicious fillings. And this zucchini casserole is one of my most popular keto side dishes.
But one place were zucchini really shines is in keto baking. Finely grated zucchini adds moisture and texture to recipes like keto zucchini muffins, or keto chocolate zucchini cake. And of course to this amazing keto zucchini bread.

This keto zucchini bread uses one large zucchini, which is about 12 ounces or 330 grams. Any more than that and your bread may become mushy.
This is an almond flour zucchini bread so it won’t work with coconut flour. However, my keto zucchini spice muffins are coconut flour based so I recommend making that recipe instead.

Yes, any granular sweetener should work here. One caveat is that allulose can make keto baked goods overly brown. They aren’t burnt but they come out very dark in color, which can be a little off-putting.
Absolutely, I’ve made a dairy free version of keto zucchini bread and it’s delicious. Replace the whey protein with egg white protein powder, and the butter with coconut or avocado oil. Coconut oil can make it a bit greasier so I recommend using only 6 tablespoons.
This is a wonderful make-ahead recipe. The bread can last on the counter for up to 5 days, as long as you don’t live in a very humid environment. Keep it wrapped up tightly so it doesn’t dry out.

It also freezes very well, and I’ve frozen it for 6 months before without any issues. You can freeze the whole loaf for future use, or cut it into slices for individual servings. Either way, make sure you wrap it up tightly so it doesn’t get any freezer burn.
