Description

This Keto Lemon Bread is a moist and flavorful low-carb treat perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Made with almond flour, a natural sweetener, and fresh lemon juice and zest, this bread offers a bright citrus flavor while staying keto-friendly. It can be made vegan by using flax eggs and coconut cream. Quick to prepare and baked to golden perfection, it yields 10-12 delicious slices that can be enjoyed fresh or stored for later.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (e.g., Lakanto)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt or coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Mix: Stir in the plain yogurt (or coconut cream), lemon juice, eggs (or flax eggs), and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before removing it to prevent breaking or crumbling.
  6. Store Leftovers: Store any leftover bread at room temperature for up to 1 day, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • To make flax eggs, combine 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 9 tablespoons water, mix, and let sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bread, adjust the sweetener quantity to taste.
  • Ensure the bread is fully cooled before slicing to maintain its structure.
  • Almond flour can vary by brand; measure carefully for best results.
  • Yogurt adds moisture and tang, but coconut cream is a great vegan alternative.
