However, if you’ve tried other gluten free recipes, you know they all seem to be missing...something. Either they don’t taste quite right, they don’t cook all the way through, or they’re too dry. And really, none of those are what you’re looking for when you go to the trouble to bake a treat.

Ingredients
So what do you need to make this keto zucchini bread? Well, it uses a combination of low carb flours, eggs, spices, a mix of fats, and a few other essentials.

Now don’t let the long ingredient list scare you away! It really is a simple recipe that you’ll make over and over again. In fact, you might want to go ahead and make two loaves right now; it’s that yummy!
Dry Ingredients:
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Salt
- Baking powder
- Xanthan gum
- Baking soda
- Ground cinnamon
- Chopped walnuts
- Low carb sugar substitute (or other low carb sweetener)
Wet Ingredients:

- Coconut oil liquified (omit for less oily bread)
- Vanilla extract
- Grated zucchini
Notes
Coconut vs almond flour
While many of the keto recipes out there are for either coconut or almond flour zucchini bread, this one uses a blend of both. The combination of almond and coconut flours creates the authentic texture and level of moistness in your final loaf that you want.

It can be hard to find the right blend and ratio to replace standard white whole wheat flour when you’re baking. But you’ll soon see this awesome flour blend does the trick. Just because it’s grain free, doesn’t mean it has to taste like it!
Upping The Fat
You’ll also notice that both butter and coconut oil are used in this recipe. If you prefer, you could leave out the coconut oil for a slightly less oily bread.
However, leaving it in gives you the classic texture you grew up with, so try it first and then tweak it to taste. Really, zucchini bread is best when it’s super moist, don’t you agree?
Shredding Zucchini
If you’ve never shredded zucchini, this video will help. It’s not hard at all; you can even make it up ahead of time and freeze it for future use. In fact, I suggest doing that so you can enjoy fresh, hot keto zucchini bread all year long.

Storage
Because you’re using all fresh ingredients and no preservatives here, you will want to make sure to store your low carb bread properly.
It will keep on the counter wrapped securely with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for a day or two. However, you’re better off keeping it stored in the fridge in a well sealed container. It’s important that it be air tight so your bread doesn’t get soggy with condensation.
You could also wrap it in plastic wrap and put your loaves into freezer bags. This is a great option if you wanted to batch cook your gluten free, low carb zucchini bread. Then simply thaw it in the fridge for a day or two if you wanted.
This method of baking ahead and freezing is particularly helpful for the holidays, unexpected company, or other special occasions. Making up treats ahead of time is also a great way to make sure you stay keto during the busy seasons.
