Kim says
This recipe didn’t work for me. It turned out too heavy and dry. Did I overwork it? Or underwork it? (The dough was really sticky when I put it in the pan).
Elana says
Kim, did you follow the directions and use a food processor? Happy to help you troubleshoot this recipe so that it will be perfect for you :-)

Does anyone have a trick for stirring in blueberries that doesn’t turn the entire batter blue? I use frozen berries. Thanks in advance. :)
Shira Kabik says
I want to try this out. But I don’t want to have to purchase the egg white protein powder. Can you explain why it’s necessary in the recipe. Can I skip putting it in. I wish there was an alternative. This is not a regular item in my household. It’s a go purchase it for 2 tablespoons doesn’t make sense
Elana says
Shira, thanks for your comment! The egg white protein powder is integral to the structure of the bread. Here are a bunch of other recipes you can use it in:

“Dried, powdered egg whites promote a good rise in baked goods as well as adding additional structure when gluten is missing. They also absorb additional moisture without thickening an already thick batter.” From the ultimate grain free cookbook.
It looks like egg white powder is very needed and necessary in this recipe. :)
Elana says
Thanks Julie!

Can I use egg whites instead of eggs in the recipe for Keto Blueberry Lemon Bread?
Elana says
Martine, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Jenkins says
In the instructions you mentioned to add stevia but in the ingredients there is no mention of stevia. How much stevia is needed
Jenkins says
Sorry I see the stevia at a glance I saw vanilla stopped there. Not seeing the additional word stevia. I will try making this bread
Elana says
Jenkins, no problem at all! Happy to help :-)
Elana says
Jenkins, I’ve looked at the recipe on both desktop and mobile and it says “1/2 teaspoon vanilla stevia” –guessing you’re using a browser in need of an update if the recipe is not displaying correctly. Please LMK which browser you’re viewing this through so I can be of more help!
Terissa says
Most of us don’t have egg white protein powder on hand. Would be nice to know what can be substituted, ie just eggs & how many ? Has anyone tried it this way ?
Elana says
Terissa, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Sandy Juettner says
Thanks Elena. I love this recipe and have made it a few times for guests. They love it too! I usually don’t have lemons handy but it turns out great without the zest.
