Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

Lemon Glaze (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered keto sweetener
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and almond milk. Mix well.
  4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. If using the lemon glaze, whisk together the powdered sweetener, lemon juice, and zest. Drizzle over the cooled bread and let it set before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
  • Store at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To make dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and almond milk with coconut milk.
