Keto Lemon Bread Recipe: Perfectly Moist & Delicious - Kasey Trenum Starbuck's Copycat (2024)

ThisKeto Lemon Bread recipereminds me of Starbucks glazed lemon bread, but with a fraction of the carbs. When it comes to a healthy lemon loaf that is a simple low-carb dessert or breakfast, you’re not going to want to miss a bite of this low-carb lemon cake!

HOW TO MAKE THIS KETO LEMON BREAD

It took a couple of tries before I perfected this low-carb lemon bread recipe for the keto diet. Experimenting with fewer eggs resulted in dry lemon bread as a dessert and not fit for human consumption. There is a real reason you have to use more eggs when baking with low-carb flours. Unlike fluffy white gluten-filled white flour, keto-friendly flours tend to be drier in nature and more absorbent. So, don’t freak out about the six eggs. I promise they are necessary.

This Keto Lemon Bread recipe turned out amazingly delicious and moist! Make sure to check out all of my easy keto bread recipes.

Is Lemon Keto?

Yes, using lemon juice and zest in a recipe is keto-friendly.

Ingredients:

• Salt

Here are step-by-step instructions with pictures for those that find it helpful. Scroll to the very bottom of the post for the recipe card and complete list of instructions.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 and line bread pan with parchment paper. Keto baked goods tend to be quite sticky, so I have found parchment paper a necessity.

Step 3: Beat eggs,Monkfruit Classic, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, vanilla, salt, and baking powder until combined.

Step 2:Melt butter and allow it to cool.Then, add melted butter,coconut flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the mixture and beat again until combined. I use a lemon zester like pictured below to make zesting a lemon easier. See the tips below.

TIPS TO ZEST A LEMON

When zesting a lemon for this keto lemon loaf recipe, make sure to skim the lemon’s outside layer; otherwise, you will go too deep, and your zest will be very bitter. You’ll know that you’ve gone too far when you see white underneath the layer of yellow on the lemon. Once you see that, you’ll need to rotate your lemon and start zesting in a new spot. The lemon zest adds incredible lemon flavor.

Step 4: Bake, then mix up the ingredients for the icing and pour over the top. I prefer to pour the glaze over the keto lemon bread while it is still warm instead of cooled completely; that way, it drips off the sides.

Tip: Keep in mind that baking time can vary since all ovens cook differently. Make sure to watch closely.

Enjoy this delicious low-carb version of lemon bread with a delicious glaze. It pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee.

Tips for making this low carb lemon cake

If you don’t want the Keto Lemon Bread to stick to the pan, make sure to line it with parchment paper first. I have found that parchment paper is necessary for keto baking because keto-friendly flours tend to be very sticky.

How does this low-carb lemon loaf taste the next day?
