Keto Zucchini Bread
In addition to this Keto Zucchini Bread being delicious and just the most perfect texture for a quick bread, the walnuts add such a nice touch. The semi-crunch it gives the bread a great texture.
Walnuts are also low in carbs and high in fat, which makes it great for if you're doing Keto and having a hard time hitting those fat levels in your diet.
This Healthy Zucchini Bread has just the right amount of sweetness. It's also great slathered in butter and eaten warm from the oven. I know this because that's exactly how I had my first slice, and it was incredible.

I just made this zucchini bread but it was way too moist. I squeezed as much of the liquid out of the zucchini that I could but it stuck to the bundt pan (which was sprayed with cooking spray). I let it bake for an additional 10 min but with no luck.
It tasted great though. : [

Just made your zucchini bread in an 8x8 glass pan. So delicious!! For people who haven’t worked w zucchini much, I would stress not only letting it drain a while? But then take about 3 paper towels and squeeze it and much more liquid will extract. Lovely tasting bread! Good job!
