    Keto Blueberry Bread

    Jump to Recipe

    Keto Blueberry bread is a soft-textured sugar free quick bread that is not overly sweet. The flavor of the berries shines through and you will want to enjoy this for breakfast and as a treat for dessert.

    Why this recipe is just so good.....

    • This blueberry loaf is easier to make than you may think. Mixing everything together only takes 5-10 minutes. I have made it many times and it has never failed to turn out great!
    • Baking from scratch is like therapy to me. It is so satisfying using your own ingredients to make a delicious recipe and enjoy your own food. If you have baked low carb or keto breads and cakes before, you will have most of the ingredients already on hand.
    • My blueberry bread is soft and moist. It is not cakey but has a bread-like texture; a perfect breakfast bread. It is also not overly sweet. If you prefer, you can make a quick glaze to spoon on top. And I have been told it is extraordinary with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream!

    Ingredients

    • As with most of my keto and low carb baking and dessert recipes, this bread uses both fine almond and coconut flour. I like to combine them since that improves the texture in grain free baking.
    • I also include a combination of sugar free sweeteners. Allulose is one of my favorites to use since it is not a sugar alcohol and does not have a aftertaste. But it is not as sweet as other sugar substitutes and can cause more browning in baked goods, so I usually mix it with either Monkfruit or Swerve (erythritol).
    • For this recipe, you can use either fresh, dried or frozen blueberries. I did use frozen and the only difference is not to defrost them before folding into the batter. Leave in the freezer so they don't get mushy.

    Baking Tips

    • To get the most accurate measurements, always sift your almond and coconut flours. Gluten free flours should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for maintaining freshness. This causes lumps and when you scoop to measure, you will get more flour than you intended. (See photos below)

    • Use room temperature dairy and eggs to make breads, cakes etc. These help to make your batter smoother and fluffier. The texture will be be softer in your baked goods. Bob's Red Mill has an in-depth article on this topic.

    FAQ - Baking with blueberries

    How to keep the blueberries from sinking in the batter?

    Make sure your berries are dry before you fold them into the batter. Some people have had luck coating the berries in flour and then putting in the bread.

    I prefer spreading about ½ - ¾ cup of the plain batter onto the bottom of the lined pan. Then I fold the blueberries into the remaining batter and spread the berry batter into the pan.

    Can I use frozen berries in the bread or pound cake?

    Yes, just keep them in the freezer until right before you need them for the batter. Do not thaw before use or the blueberries may get mushy. There is no need to rinse them, just carefully fold into the bread or cake batter.

    How to keep blueberry bread fresh?

    The bread can be kept at room temperature on a plate with a paper towel on the bottom of the bread to absorb any moisture or oil from the butter. Lightly cover it with plastic wrap for 2-3 days. No need to seal it airtight. After that, refrigerate for 2 more days. Breads and pound cakes freeze well. Make sure it is fully cooled, place a paper towel around the loaf and wrap in airtight wrap or put in an airtight container, label it with the date and keep in freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost on the counter overnight.

    Description

    Keto Blueberry bread is a soft-textured sugar free quick bread that is not overly sweet. The flavor of the berries shines through and you will want to enjoy this for breakfast and as a treat for dessert.


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 cups fine milled almond flour, sifted
    • 2 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum*
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • 4 large eggs, room temperature
    • ⅓ cup Allulose sweetener *
    • ⅓ cup Swerve *
    • ¼ cup heavy cream, room temperature
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • ¾ cup blueberries *

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Use a piece of parchment baking paper to line a 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch aluminum  baking pan.  Or you can spray pan with non-stick baking spray.
    2. loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
    3. Combine the flours, salt, baking powder and xanthan gum in a bowl. 
    4. almond flour in glass bowl.
    5. In a mixing bowl, use a mixer or whisk by hand, the eggs and sugar substitute until it begins to look frothy, with small bubbles, about 2 minutes.
    6. sweetener and eggs whisked in glass bowl.
    7. Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla.
    8. Pour in the flour mixture and mix until combined, about 1 minute.
    9. Add the softened butter and mix for 1 more minute.
    10. Spoon about ½-3/4 cup of plain batter onto the bottom of pan.
    11. Add the berries into remaining batter and gently fold into the batter with a spoon by hand.
    12. keto blueberry batter in glass bowl.
    13. Pour the blueberry batter into the pan, smooth the top and gently tap on the counter to remove air bubbles.
    14. Bake for 45 minutes.  Test with a toothpick, bake a few minutes longer if needed.*

    16. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, remove from pan and allow to fully cool before slicing.
    17. I sprinkled a bit of sugar free powdered sugar.  You can also make a glaze if you prefer.

    Notes

    *Instead of the Allulose/Swerve combo, you can use ⅔-3/4 cup of your preferred sugar substitute.  I always taste a bit of the batter for sweetness.  I tend to add less at the start and add a tablespoon more if needed.

    *Xanthan gum helps with texture but you can leave it out if you don't have any.  No specialty store needed, you can buy a small tin in the grocery store.  It keeps a long time in the pantry.

    *Check on your bread about halfway through baking.  If it seems to be browning too quickly, lightly cover the top with a piece of aluminum foil.

    *The bread is done when there aren't any large crumbs on a toothpick.  It should be just about clean.

    *Cooling is important.  If you slice the bread too soon and it may crumble apart.
