Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • Almond flour: 2 cups (finely blanched for best texture)
  • Coconut flour: 2 tablespoons (adds structure and absorbs moisture)
  • Baking powder: 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon (optional but nice)
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Eggs: 4 large, at room temperature
  • Granulated keto sweetener: 1/2 cup (erythritol, allulose, or a monk fruit blend)
  • Unsalted butter or coconut oil: 1/3 cup, melted and cooled
  • Vanilla extract: 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • Grated zucchini: 1 1/2 cups, lightly packed (from about 1 medium zucchini), well squeezed
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped walnuts/pecans

Instructions

  • Prep the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease the sides.
  • Prep the zucchini: Grate the zucchini on the medium holes of a box grater. Place it in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step prevents a soggy loaf.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined and lump-free.
  • Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sweetener, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla until smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick—this is normal.
  • Fold in zucchini: Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini and any optional add-ins. Mix just until evenly distributed; don’t overwork the batter.
  • Fill and smooth: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. If you like, sprinkle a few nuts or chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake: Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
  • Cool properly: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
  • Slice and serve: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice. Enjoy plain, or toast and add butter, cream cheese, or a smear of almond butter.
