I love writing easy keto recipes for you, and this Keto Blueberry Lemon Bread recipe is as simple as it gets.
When I went on a Keto Diet, I knew I’d need treats because I don’t believe in deprivation. So, I created Keto Blueberry Lemon Bread and wrote Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry.
This easy keto bread recipe is perfect for dunking in my Dandelion Root Coffee which is not only caffeine-free but a fabulous liver cleanser. Talk about win-win!

Keto Dessert with Stevia
I haven’t experimented with using other sweeteners in place of stevia in this bread recipe so not sure how that would work, but if you do experiment please let me know how it goes. If you’re looking for more keto desserts with stevia check out my Mint Chocolate Chip Fat Bombs.

I’ve loved bagels ever since I was a little girl, so I had to create a gluten-free bagel recipe my boys could enjoy too. My husband says this Keto Bagels recipe is the perfect vehicle for cream cheese and lox, but we also use it for egg sandwiches.

This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives, I first published this Keto Blueberry Lemon Bread recipe in 2017.
Holly says
I want to love this and my bread came out extremely dry. Baked for 45 minutes. Used all products linked. It’s a mystery to me….?
Elana says
Holly, this bread turns out very moist –a dry bread would be due to using coconut flour in place of almond flour, or adding too much egg white protein powder.
Alexandria says
Hi! This looks delicious, but I had a quick question about the Vanilla Stevia! I also have issues with corn, to the point where I generally have to eat grass fed/finished beef, and flavoring/natural flavors generally give me a bit of a reaction. Have you had any issues with the flavored stevias?
Elana says
Alexandra, I haven’t had any issues with the product I link to in the recipe :-)
AnnMarie Fleet says

I liked your lemon bread a lot! I left out the blueberries, by accident, and it came out fine. So I am happy. I didn’t get to take a picture of the masterpiece. It was eaten by two men/glutens, so I threw them outside to “work their snack off” by working in the 4 acre yard we have. Won’t teach them anything, but maybe to be a little more careful about snacking. (I don’t think that will happen either)
Do you have a Sofa Bread recipe? Keto or gluten free.
Elana says
Pat, thanks for letting me know you are enjoying this bread. Here is my Gluten Free Irish Soda Bread recipe:

Have a wonderful day, Elana
JJ says
I don’t have egg white protein on hand and am currently not able to go to the store. Could I use my Keto Shake Powder?
Elana says
JJ, I haven’t tried that so not sure.
DAWN says
This is a nice recipe. I added in about 8 drops of lemon essential oil when I stirred in the frozen wild blueberries, turning the bright yellow to a dull purple color, maybe I should have used the fresh blueberries to keep that gorgeous yellow for next time? I enjoyed a couple of slices with a larger slice of butter, toasted, tasty!
Elana says
Dawn, I actually used frozen blueberries in the photo :-)
KZD says
Delicious! Nice and low carb, but if you are watching your macronutrients like I am, here are the nutrition facts that I calculated for 16 servings. *Note: I substituted the stevia for a quarter cup of erythritol (Swerve) and my egg white protein is vanilla flavored at 3g carbs per 5Tbsp. Also, in an attempt to take down the percentage of carbohydrates, I added a tablespoon of butter to each slice before serving:
Low Carb Lemon Blueberry Bread + 1Tbsp Butter:
Calories: 167
Total Fat: 15.5g (78%)
NET Carbohydrates: 5.6g (13%)
Protein: 4.1g (9%)
Really nice with coffee! I also added a tbsp of heavy cream to my coffee, plus 2 slices of turkey bacon (straight protein) in an attempt to get the carbohydrate ratio down.
Elana says
KZD, thanks so much!
