Instructions

Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure the bread does not stick and is easy to remove after baking.
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to get it ready for baking the lemon bread.
Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir all the dry and wet ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
Pour batter: Transfer the smooth batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes until the bread is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the bread: Allow the keto lemon bread to cool completely in the pan before carefully running a knife around the edges and popping it out for slicing.
Storage: Store the lemon bread at room temperature overnight, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or slice and freeze for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.
Flavor tip: Don’t skip adding lemon zest as it enhances the lemon flavor and aroma of the bread remarkably.

Notes

For vegan or egg-free option, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg, mixed and rested).
You can use coconut cream as a dairy-free alternative to yogurt to keep it keto-friendly.
Adjust sweetness to taste using your preferred keto-friendly sweetener.
Allow the bread to cool fully to avoid crumbling when slicing.
Serve plain, or top with keto-friendly cream cheese or butter for extra flavor.
