Keto Zucchini Bread with Walnuts

Keto Recipes > Keto Breakfast Recipes

I normally don’t make many bread like desserts, but today was an exception. I happened to have a couple zucchini’s on hand, and I wanted to bake something for a dessert. Then it hit me – I haven’t made a zucchini bread in a long time!  So here is a recipe for keto zucchini bread with walnuts.

Keto Zucchini Bread with Walnuts

Zucchini bread, to me, is more of a seasonal treat. My mom tends to make them more around the holidays. She prefers to make more of a sugary chocolate chip version than this one. But luckily, zucchini bread is just as easy to make keto and sugar-free. Just replace the sugar with erythritol and the flour with almond flour, and you have a keto friendly recipe.

For the crust, I decided I wanted to use up some of my walnuts. It adds a nice crunch to the bread, which is what I like. The balance of sweet and crunchy works well for me. If you want more a sweet and salty flavor, just toss some salt on the crust layer as well.

As for freezing, this bread does freeze well. Instead of slicing each piece up and freezing, I like to actually freeze the entire loaf. That’s only because each loaf tends to disappear quickly when family is around.
