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.

My Low-Carb Cornbread is perfect for Thanksgiving but is so good we enjoy it year-round. The boys love melting butter and honey together and drizzling it over the warm cornbread.
Keto Bagels
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.
Oh almond flour bagels how I love thee! Thinking about them makes me want to throw a batch in the oven right now!

Geege says
Any suggestions for cream of tartar sub? Thanks
Elana says
Geege, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Tanha says
just substitute fresh lemon juice or white vinegar for the cream of tartar, so For every 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar in the recipe, use 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar. I haven’t tried it yet with this recipe but plan to today.
Elana says
Thanks Tanha! I hope you’ll let us know if this substitution works once you’ve tried it :-)
Terissa says
I noted that you rec a balsamic vinegar in your newsletter, which I really appreciated – have been wanting to buy some good quality vinegars, but don’t know the best/healthiest brands. What brand do you use for your white wine & red wine vinegars ? Thank you.
Elana says
Terissa, thanks for your comment. I use this red wine vinegar:

I don’t use white wine vinegar because I like to keep as few ingredients as possible in my pantry and fridge :-)
Enjoy!

Sarah says
Could I replace the almond flour with coconut flour & flax meal? I’ve been experimenting w/these two to make pancakes so far pretty tasty ?
Elana says
Sarah, I haven’t tried that so not sure. For more on substituting almond flour with coconut flour go here:

Christine A says
Unfortunately I have an egg intolerance and have had to remove eggs from my diet. This has to be one of the hardest things to give up because eggs are used in cooking everything. Is there a replacement suggestion?
Elana says
Christine, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my Egg-Free Recipes page for you:

Enjoy!

Christine A says
Thank you Elana! :)
Elana says
You’re very welcome Christine!
Renee C. Berger says
Check into Aquafaba, that may be a viable option for you. It is “bean juice” so it’s not Paleo.
Elana says
Renee, thanks for the suggestion, just a note though, I haven’t had those types of egg substitutes work in my recipes :-)
Serena says
I have an intolerance to chicken eggs, so I use duck eggs and the difference they make in baking is amazing
Elana says
Thanks Serena!
Kristine Ullmann says
Thank you SO much for posting!
Elana says
Kristine, you’re very welcome!
Kelli Valentine says
Thank you Elana. I can’t wait to make this recipe for my daughters lunches as her little treat. This recipe was particularly perfect as I can source all the ingredients over here in Australia. Sometimes it’s very difficult to find ingredients (staples) as we lack the variety over here but am excited that I can make this recipe.
Elana says
Kelli, you’re welcome! I’m so glad to be on this healing journey with you and your daughter via this recipe :-)
berneda says
what can be used instead of the egg protein powder?
Elana says
Berneda, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Val Lynn says
Thank you Elana This looks delicious.
Elana says
Val, you’re welcome!
Monica says
I so Appreciate this recipe. I followed a leader in the keto world for a long time buying books/meal plans etc. They became increasingly restrictive~ removing avocados, berries, spaghetti squash etc as well as promoting the idea that vegetables are not necessarily good and being somewhat snarky towards those who were also Keto bloggers but not as restrictive. I’m in my mid 50’s and could not handle the stress. So again, I *appreciate* your willingness to use low glycemic berries and veggies. I have been enjoying an avocado mixed with a serving of frozen berries for my nightly dessert. It’s better than ice cream or sorbet. Lemon is a family favorite flavor profile (try saying that 3x fast ;). I’ll make this asap.
Elana says
Monica, you’re very welcome. I think the Keto Diet is fantastic, but I also think it’s very important to recognize that we are all bio-chemical individuals and need to customize our diets to our own bodies. Glad to be on this healing keto journey with you!
Marykay says
Can I use something else instead of egg white protien powder?
Elana says
Hi Marykay, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
