Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (such as Lakanto for sugar-free)
- 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
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the pan and oven: Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure an even bake.
- Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add the plain yogurt or coconut cream, lemon juice, eggs or flax eggs, and lemon zest, stirring until the batter becomes smooth and uniform in texture.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place it into the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool properly: Allow the keto lemon bread to cool completely before loosening the edges with a knife and removing it from the pan. Cooling fully helps preserve its moist, soft texture and prevents breakage.
- Storage tips: Once cooled, you can loosely cover the loaf and keep it at room temperature overnight. For longer storage, refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days or slice and freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Make sure to include the lemon zest as it significantly enhances the bright lemon flavor.
- Using plain yogurt or coconut cream adds moisture and richness; choose based on dietary preference.
- Flax eggs can substitute regular eggs for a plant-based alternative.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.
- Sweetener choice can be adjusted to taste, but use a keto-friendly granulated sweetener for best results.
