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
This is delicious! I made a few tweaks: I used Ancient Nutrition bone broth protein powder (vanilla). It worked fine and I think any vanilla or mild flavored protein powder would work. I will try a different one next time to compare the two. Also, I didn’t have any lemons to zest, but really wanted to try the recipe so I used 13 drops of a lemon essential oil that my naturopath recommended, so I feel ok using it to bake with. I may try 14 or 15 drops next time. I did have a little trouble mixing the batter in my VitaMix (and cleaning it out later), so I think next time I will try this recipe I will use a bowl and hand mixer. I made this yesterday and it tastes even better today. Thank you so much for this recipe! :-)
Elana says
Holly, so glad the bread was delicious!
Nancy Fain says
I made the bread today. It’s very bland and could use more lemon flavor.
Elana says
Nancy, this bread definitely isn’t bland if you follow the recipe. Make sure you use a fresh lemon and don’t be shy about packing the zest into the tablespoon :-)
Rosemarie Russell says
I tried the recipe as soon as I received your email. The Keto Bread recipe was so good I have made it a few times. This Blueberry Lemon Bread does not disappoint! When I make it again I will try a few drops of organic lemon oil to intensify the lemon flavor.
Elana says
Rosemarie, I’m so happy to hear this bread is so good!
Hallie says
Elana, is the vanilla stevia liquid?
Elana says
Hallie, if you click the green text in the ingredients portion of the recipe that says “vanilla stevia” you will be given that info :-)
Vanessa Russell says

Tanha says
This looks amazing, can’t wait to try it. I am going to replace the egg white powder though as I have histmsine issues and the white powder is highly reactive for me. In order for me to replace it I need to know its purpose in the recipe ? Is it for binding ? Leavening Or for moisture ? If you could let me know Elana this would be fantastic and make it much easier for me to substitute another ingredient depending on its purpose in recipe ? Thanks for all that you share !
Elana says
Tanha, I haven’t made this bread without it so not sure exactly what happens when it isn’t used. Sorry I can’t be of more help. I tested this recipe dozens of times to make it just the way it is. If you do experiment please let us know how it goes.

bob says
I am going to make this now…I am going to try 1 egg white . I found this on line for substuting 1:1 for egg whites…
If the recipe is asking for egg whites, you can substitute the powder on a 1:1 ratio. So, if you need 1 cup of egg whites, simply add 1/2 cup of your egg white protein powder and ½ cup of warm water.
Elana says
Bob, thanks for your comment! I hope you’ll stop back by after you try it and let us know if this experiment worked :-)
