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!

Laurel Daen says
I love this bread! I omitted the egg white protein powder and vanilla stevia, and instead added 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of raw honey, and a little extra lemon zest. I served it for dessert, topped with mascarpone cheese and fresh blueberries. It was delicious! And all my guests (keto and not) loved it. Thanks, Elana, for all your wonderful recipes!
Elana says
Laurel, thanks for letting me know that all of your guests (keto and not) loved this bread :-)

The nutritional facts for THIS Nlueberry lemon bread is not listed there…just looked through all 22 pages of nutritional facts…just a plug for your cookbook. It’s woulsnt be hard to just SAY what the macros are…
Elana says
Thanks for your feedback Angie!
caterina says
this was delicious….I hate Stevia n subbed it with erythritol monk fruit blend at a 1/3 cup as it’s a dry ingredient I did add a half tsp of vanilla extract. had I not been so impatient as to remove it to early from the pan it would have been perfect…it did tear a bit on the bottom as it was still warm on the bottom of the pan…do yourself a favor wait till it’s cooled it’s so worth it…even my 5 yr old gobbled this up even though it was definitely not very sweet but just perfectly sweetened enough…thank u.
Elana says
Caterina, thanks for letting me know this bread is delicious and that your 5 year old gobbled it up :-)
Noel says
I made this recipe the other day and followed it to the tee. It came out very dense, dry with hardly a note of the lemon flavor. And it did,t look anything like the photo! What went wrong? Thanks in advance for any helpful hints as I would like to give it a try again.
Elana says
Noel, this can happen for a number of reasons, but most often when coconut flour is used in place of almond flour, or when the pan size called for in the recipe is not used :-)
Jeanette says
Well, that was hardly helpful, as it was noted that she followed it to a tee…. but it does look wonderful, so wish me luck!
Elana says
Jeanette, thanks for your comment! I know it’s challenging to believe, but over the last decade or so I’ve had many folks say they followed the recipe to a tee, and when I dug a bit deeper they let me know that they had followed the method, but made substitutions to the ingredients that were called for. Hope you enjoy the bread and have an amazing day :-)
Louise says
There’s no oil/fat at all in this recipe. Mine came out super dry. Any suggestions?
Elana says
Louise, thanks for your comment. This recipe is a fluffy bread that is not particularly super moist. You will want to wrap it well and store in the fridge. Also don’t eat it cold, heat it before eating and add a little butter. It will be perfect!
Jessica says
I tried this recipe and it turned out AMAZING! I don’t understand why many people mention in their comments that the bread is too dry. It has the perfect consistency to me. The blueberries make it smooth and tasty. I’ve just pinned it to my healthy baking Pinterest board. I’ll definitely come back to try more recipes! Thank you for sharing this one Elana!
Elana says
Jessica, I’m so happy to hear that this bread is AMAZING!

The link to the vanilla stevia isn’t working any longer. What kind do you use?
Elana says
Kris, thanks for your comment! I just checked that link and it went right over to the product :-)
Lexi says
Hi Elana – I tried clicking through your affiliate link for the stevia vanilla but it didn’t work for me. Would you be able to check it? I know sometimes Amazon can have issue with their global links on mobile. Thanks for looking into this.
Lexi
Elana says
Lexi, link working perfectly for us over here on both mobile and desktop :-)
Lindsay says
Elana,
Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe! I’m keto and my sister’s 11-month old son was just diagnosed with T1 diabetes. Keto recipes work great to keep his carb count down, but you can imagine it’s a little hard to find good keto recipes/snacks for an 11-month old to eat! This is a great treat and it’s been fun to see him find a food he enjoys. Thanks!
Elana says
Lindsay, I’m so happy to hear that your family is enjoying this bread and that it’s a great treat for your baby nephew :-)
Carrie says
Any substitution on the egg white protein powder? Egg whites? Hate to buy. $30 jar for 2 TBSP
Elana says
Carrie, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my other recipes that use egg white protein powder:
