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.

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!

Elana says
Jane, I don’t think that will work :-)
Dalia Orozco says

Nina says
Hi Elana this recipe was amazing! I have a question for you . What sweetener are best for my recipes Swerve or Lakanto?
Thanks again for the recipe
Elana says
Nina, Swerve and Lakanto are both made of corn, something I gave up in 2001. I do have a couple of recipes here using those ingredients that I’ve created as a labor of love for my readers that can eat corn. You might want to check this one out:

My husband is allergic to egg what can I use instead?
Elana says
Andree, thanks for your comment! I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Chelsey says
Do you have to use egg protein powder? Is there a substitute?
Elana says
Chesley, yes it is integral to the structure of the bread :-)
Pamela says
This pound cake looks fabulous, so I thank you for it! I was wondering if it would be okay to use whey protein powder (unflavored) instead of the egg white protein powder? I’ll probably try it anyway, but I just thought I’d ask here. Love your website and Pinterest!
Elana says
Pamela, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Quick thought for you though, this is not a pound cake, it is far less heavy and much lighter :-)
Ruth Zimmerman says
Hi Elana,
I have used many of your recipes, and have shared your site with many friends! I have systemic lupus, and am on a very restricted diet. It is nice to find delicious recipes that are dairy free, gluten free, etc.
My question is this: When you say to combine ingredients in a food processor, can you also do so in a stand up mixer? I am not happy with my current food processor.
Thank you!
Ruth
Elana says
Ruth, I haven’t tried that so not sure, but I think it’s worth experimenting with that method. I hope you’ll let me know if it works!
Jeanne-Marie says
I used my stand mixer with a whisk attachment and it turned out just fine
Elana says
Thanks Jeanne-Marie!
Nancy L Donnelly says
Hi I love your blog. I tired emailing you however your team suggested I leave you a direct post. When your recipes call for coconut flour or almond flour may I substitute Paleo Flour by Bob Red Mill? I happen to have several bags and am just wondering. Thank you for your time
If someone could respond to my email that would be great. I am gluten free and have decided to try Paleo. Also trying to lose 30 lbs.
Elana says
Nancy, thanks for reaching out here! I haven’t ever used Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Flour so not sure if that would work in my recipes. If you do experiment please let us know how it goes! I hope you’ll keep me posted :-)
francesca says
mine is a question
What can you substitute for egg white powder? I do not know where to buy it
Thank you for your response
Elana says
Francesca, I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you click the link in the ingredients portion of the recipe that says “egg white protein powder” you will be taken to a place where you can buy it :-)
