Keto Zucchini Bread with walnuts is not only Keto, but it’s DELICIOUS! It is made with almond flour and coconut flour for a Keto diet. Slather it with butter straight out of the oven! When it comes to Keto bread recipes, they really can be hit or miss. I even had some friends who are not doing Keto try it, and they said it’s crave-worthy.
I was so excited about this recipe, I ate a slice before it could be photographed. Oops. It was SO worth it.
Hey, I had to test it before I photographed it, right? After that, it was difficult not to eat another slice because it was so yummy.

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.
What Is In Keto Zucchini Bread?
If you are on a keto or low-carb diet, you will probably have some of these substitutions in your pantry. If you are new to a keto lifestyle, now is a good chance to stock up on some soon to be staples! In this zucchini bread recipe, I am using both almond flour and coconut flour. They absorb differently, so I will use a combination of both in several of my recipes.
I use Ghee, but you can use oil. Ghee is commonly used in Indian cooking and is clarified butter. It is a little nuttier tasting than butter, which I love that extra flavor and it works perfectly with the almond flour and walnuts in this recipe.
I use aromatics like cinnamon and nutmeg to add spice and flavor to this homemade zucchini bread. Unsweetened almond milk keeps the dairy and sugar low. Then I add in walnuts for a delightful crunch in the bread.

I enjoyed the recipe. It satifies the craving for warm buttered bread, a muffin and I use the base of the recipe for many other types of quick breads. The consistency comes out great with the different variations thus far. Thank you for sharing!!! I completely drain and squeeze my zucchini before adding.

That is absolutely KEY in this recipe.

Hi,
I just found your website today and I am excited to have new things to bake! With autumn just around the corner, I was wondering if you have recipes for traditional fall tastes? Here in the south we like “pumpkin spice everything”! Seriously though, I: crave traditional apple spice cakes, pumpkin breads and pies, spice cakes/breads with nuts, and pecan pie type of things. Anytime after Labor Day and right up through Thanksgiving and Christmas is a good time for any of the above. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I plan to stop in here often.

There’s no salt in the recipe. Is that a typo?
I sprinkled 2 tbsp of psyllium powder on the zucchini to soak up the moisture.
I also added 2 Tbsp of protein powder, cut back an egg and used regular milk and doubled the spices. It came out very good!

This recipe turned out to be a soggy mess. Although the top browned, the bottom was wet and uncooked in the middle. I have a similar banana bread recipe that uses neither fat nor milk and it turns out a perfect delicious consistency.

I agree I followed the recipe to tee and it was a soggy mess. 🙁 Sooooo disappointing. I keep baking it longer hoping it will soak up the moisture.
AND I let the zucchini dry out as much as possible. That said it was a fresh garden one so maybe that was the issue. Either way disappointed.

Hi there! Instead of Truvia, I have a liquid Stevia sweetener, do you know if I could sub that out? And if so, what I would need to change in the rest of the recipe if I did that instead? Let me know what you think!

Will it work to switch Truvia for erithritol?
URVASHI PITRE
Yes it will 🙂
Kiana Wilder
Does it have to be a bundt pan? Would it turn out in a regular loaf pan?
Michelle
Amazing! Used 4 mini loaf pans as I didn’t have a bundt pan and had no issue removing them. and I also made sure I wrung out the shredded zucchini well in a tea towel.
Sam
Hi, thank you for sharing the recipe. I had a few issues with it and was wondering if you can help. Firstly, the bread was really stuck to the pan and hard to remove, I had oiled the pan with olive oil. And I had to bake it for 45 mins as at 30 mins it was still not done. Even after 45 mins I feel the bread is still very crumbly. I followed everything to the tee, from measuring the ingredients to the beating time. Any suggestions?
URVASHI PITRE
Hmm that’s interesting feedback. As to the sticking, I used a silicone mold which may have helped me but I haven’t heard from others who had issues. I did recently modify the recipe to use less almond milk as I am finding that ultra fresh zucchini seems to release a lot more water. I wonder if that would help?
Sam
Yeah could be the water in the zucchini, I’ll try that next time. Also what are your thoughts if I only use coconut flour?
Aleena
Changing the coconut flour ratio will really mess up the recipe since it is very absorbent and you need very little. Plus the texture of the almond flour is probably what makes this bread good. However, some coconut flours are more absorbent than others, so that could have been why your bread was crumbly in the first place.
