With a moist, tender crumb and a subtle sweetness, this bread is sure to satisfy your cravings without derailing your keto goals.

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour (for a nut-free option, try using Vegan Lemon Bread)
• 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (I recommend Lakanto for sugar-free)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup plain yogurt or coconut cream
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 eggs or flax eggs
• 1 tbsp lemon zest

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. Combine Ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, stir all the ingredients together—almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, yogurt (or coconut cream), lemon juice, eggs (or flax eggs), and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain in the batter.
3. Prepare for Baking:
   Pour the smooth batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to even out the top, ensuring it’s level for even baking.
4. Bake the Bread:
   Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and slightly firm to the touch.
5. Cool the Bread:
   Allow the keto lemon bread to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, gently loosen the sides of the bread with a knife, and carefully remove it from the pan.
6. Storage:
   The bread can be stored loosely covered on the counter overnight, refrigerated for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly before freezing to maintain freshness.

Tips for Success:

• Egg Substitutes: If you prefer to make this bread vegan, substitute regular eggs with flax eggs by mixing 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp of water for each egg. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken before using.
• Sweetener Options: Lakanto granulated sweetener is an excellent sugar-free option, but you can use any keto-friendly sweetener that you prefer. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
• Coconut Cream Alternative: If you’re dairy-free, using coconut cream in place of yogurt works wonderfully to keep the bread moist while adding a rich flavor.
