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.

Terissa says
Most of us don’t keep egg protein powder on hand as there just aren’t enough recipes using it to warrant buying it. So it becomes frustrating for me to want to try a recipe & have no clear substitutes for the ingredients that aren’t common.
What would you sub with Elana if you didn’t have it on hand – or would you too just not make it ?
Did anyone else try this recipe with something besides the egg protein powder – if so, please pass on what it was, how much you used & if it came out tasty ?
Elana says
Terissa, thanks for this comment and all your others! I’ve put together a list of all the recipes on my website that use egg white protein powder, and I hope that’s helpful for you. Per substitutions, I wish I could test various permutations of every recipe here to meet everyone’s needs, but there’s only one of me and a whole lot of you. Feel free to peruse the comments to see if another reader has answered your question, or you can make one of the other bread recipes listed in this post that doesn’t require this ingredient. Happy baking!
Terissa says
Thank you for putting that list together ! I did look under “egg white protein powder” & after reading a few reviews of other recipes, I found a reader who said she used arrowroot instead, & one reader who said she just added another egg. I will try these as they are staples & see how the bread turns out !
Elana says
Terissa, let me know if any of your experiments work!
Loretta says
Made the bread. Delicious but why don’t almond flour recipes ever sow the calories ?
Elana says
Loretta, I share nutrition info for all the recipes in my books here:
https://elanaspantry.com/nutrition-information-cookbooks/
You are correct though in that I do not provide that for the free recipes here on my website.
Have a lovely day,

Margaret Kehoe says
I am allergic to almonds and use a product called Carbalose flour instead that I buy from Netrition: https://www.netrition.com/tova_carbalose_page.html
Have you tried using this flour? It is gluten free and lower in calories and carbs than Almond flour. I would love to adapt this recipe for use with Carbalose.
Elana says
Margaret, thanks for your comment. I have a wheat allergy so wouldn’t be able to use this product :-)
Elana says
Thanks Monika! I provide all of the nutrition info for the recipes in my books here:

Enjoy!

Paula says
Made this bread yesterday. It tastes fine, but is heavy and not cooked through. Did not rise to the level of the pictures. Not sure what to do to fix it.
Elana says
Paula, thanks for your comment. Did you use one of the recommended brands of almond flour? For more on that go here:
https://elanaspantry.com/almond-flour-ingredient/
LMK if you have any other questions!

Kira says
Do you know the nutrition fact breakdown? I am on a very strict gestational diabetic diet which limits my carb intake very specifically. Thanks!
Elana says
Kira, I provide nutrition info for all the recipes in my books. LMK if you’d like the link to that info :-)
Monika says
I was super interested at looking at all of the recipes but without the nutrition info, I didn’t go past the first recipe. Without the nutrition info, I won’t try the recipe, and without trying a recipe, I wouldn’t think of buying the book, so adding that info would be of benefit to you.
Kathy says
Which book has this recipe?
Elana says
Kathy, this is one of the 1,000 free recipes offered here on my website! Enjoy :-)
Julie says
What is the ratio of coconut flour to almond flour? Want to make this and we have a nut allergy.
Elana says
Julie, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my Nut-Free Recipes page for you:

Enjoy!

Stacey Zoller says
I really like this bread, I would like it a little sweeter though. Do you think I could add some monkfruit/erythritol sweetener to the recipe? Would I need to add liquid as well? Thanks for your amazing recipes Elana!
Elana says
Stacey, thanks for your comment and letting me know you like this bread. I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you do experiment I hope you’ll let me know what works :-)
Shirley Funk says
I use monkfruit in it and it’s good. I think I use 1/4 cup. I forgot to write it down. I also use the whey protein and it works great.
Elana says
Shirley, thanks so much!
suzanne cutler says
Is it possible to substitute whey powder for the egg white protein powder?
Elana says
Suzanne, I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you experiment I hope you’ll let me know if that works :-)
Joanna says
Can this be made into muffins? If so, what is the approximate baking time?
Elana says
Joanna, I haven’t tried that so not sure, if you experiment I hope you’ll let me know what works :-)
Teresa says
Joanna, did you try the muffins? What temp and how long did you bake them?
