Keto Zucchini Walnut Spice Bread is the perfect treat when you want a baked good while keeping your carbs down. This loaf bakes up beautifully with a texture that is as similar to regular quick bread as you can get. We like using walnuts for the omega-3 fatty acids, but feel free to swap the walnuts out for pecans or almonds if you prefer.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (225 g) almond flour
- 4 tablespoons (40 g) golden flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons erythritol
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons oat fiber
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon fine salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup (60 ml) cream + ¼ cup (60 ml) water
- 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon stevia glycerite
- 1 small (about 125 g) zucchini, shredded
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F; line the inside of an 8½ by 4½-inch metal loaf pan with 2 pieces of parchment paper so it hangs over all 4 sides and spray the corners with coconut or avocado oil.
- Whisk together the almond flour, flaxseed meal, erythritol, tapioca starch, oat fiber, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the slightly cooled butter or coconut oil, eggs, cream/water mixture, vinegar, vanilla, and stevia glycerite in a medium bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry all at once and stir until combined, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in the zucchini and walnuts.
- Immediately pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 15 minutes.
- Once it’s done cooking, turn off the oven and let the bread sit in the hot oven for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store any leftovers wrapped in the fridge for up to 5 days.
