How To Make Zucchini Bread

This is a super simple recipe and won't take more than 10-20 minutes to prepare before you pop it into the oven.

A quick tip before you start: After you shred the zucchini, make sure to squeeze out the excess liquid and moisture using paper towels or a cheesecloth. You don’t need to get all the liquid out, just most of it.

The entire recipe is at the bottom of the post, but keep scrolling to see some behind-the-scenes of how to make this bread and some helpful tips.

Main Ingredients in Keto Zucchini Bread

First things first, gather all of your ingredients and measure them out. You will probably have most of the ingredients on hand in your pantry or fridge.

Here is a quick list of what you need:

Pantry Items

Almond flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Coconut oil
Ground cinnamon
Salt
Xanthan gum
Vanilla extract
Granular erythritol (like Swerve)
Sukrin Gold (or other keto brown sugar substitute)

Fridge Items

Eggs
Sour cream
Zucchini

Kitchen Equipment

Loaf pans (we used 8x4-inch pans)
Mixing bowls
Food processor or stand-up grater

How To Shred Zucchini Noodles

This recipe calls for shredded zucchini, so let's break down the basics.

You don't need to peel the zucchini before you shred it. But you should cut off both ends of the zucchini.

Either use a food processor or shred them using a handheld grater. Both options work.

Food Processor: Add the grating attachment to your food processor. Cut your zucchini into several smaller pieces for easier grating. Turn on the food processor and place the zucchini in the shoot of the processor to grate.
Handheld Grater: Place a standup box grater on a plate or cutting board on the counter and shred the zucchini by continuously running it over the large holes of the grater.

Lightly dry the shredded zucchini with paper towels.

Step #1. Mix Wet & Dry Ingredients Separately

In your first mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients (except for the Sukrin Gold and the erythritol) until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, erythritol, and Sukrin Gold until fully combined.

Step #2. Add the Zucchini

One your zucchini is shredded and squeezed of excess liquid, add it into the egg mixture and stir slowly to incorporate.

Add the dry ingredients as well and mix together until combined.

It should be a nice, thick batter (like the picture below).

Step #3. Pour & Bake

Take two loaf pans and grease them with a bit of butter or coconut oil.

Divide the batter into both loaf pans and bake at for about 40-55 minutes or until the center is cooked through (you can tell it's done when you stick a toothpick into it and it comes out clean with no batter on it).
