Cheesy keto zucchini bread is moist, tasty and flavorful keto bread and can be eaten plain. Low carb bread with zucchini and cheese is something that you need in your life.
This bread is great toasted and works good as a bread for keto sandwiches. Few days ago I made it for breakfast and we ate it with cream cheese and smoked salmon. OMG, that combination was one of my best keto breakfasts ever.
I love eating his bread still hot with a little butter on top. Wow! Melted cheese inside and melting butter on top plus pinch of coarse salt! Yummy!
My children love this low carb bread with zucchini. Usually my son don't like to see green stuff in his bread. In this case he didn't have anything against. He loves it. If you have a picky eater in your family, consider peeling zucchini. And definitely try this keto zucchini bread recipe!
I was inspired to make this bread, by cheesy zucchini bread made by Nagi from RecipeTinEats.
How to make cheesy keto zucchini bread
First grate zucchini!
It's the best to grate zucchini first because of the water in zucchini. You need to leave them until you prepare other ingredients. While you are preparing other ingredients, zucchini will release excess water. Squeeze them as much as you can. Drain the soul out of zucchini! 😁
Low carb grain grain free and gluten free flour combination
To make this keto zucchini bread coconut flour and almond flour combined are the best because you get a real and cheesy bread texture. I really like to bake with coconut and almond flour combined. In this case, use superfine almond flour. If using almond meal you will need to add more, it could be too runny. So, that's one thing to think about and adapt if necessary to have perfect cheesy keto zucchini bread.
Mediterranean flavor
Olive oil and a pinch of garlic are giving special flavor to this low carb zucchini bread. I would say that this low carb bread is getting some Mediterranean flavor if you add olive oil and a little garlic. It's the best to use powdered garlic, and don't put too much. Just a little for that special kick.

Emma says
This is very moist and tasteful. I omitted the baking soda as I didn't have any but increased the baking powder. The loaf rose but collapsed back down when taken out the oven. Any suggestions if you don't have the soda? It also took 35-40mins to fully cook as some others have mentioned. I added pepitas and sunflower seeds on top for a crunch and nutrition.
Family On Keto says
Hi Emma, try leaving it in turned-off oven for 10 minutes to avoid collapsing. I hope that will help.
Anna says
This is a great recipe with some the "breadiest" bread I've ever made, and I do a lot of low carb baking. It freezes very well, and popping a slice of it into an air fryer for a few minutes makes it even better!
Family On Keto says
Dear Anna, I'm so happy to seeing this! I'm glad you enjoyed it & thank you so much for commenting!
Sandy keys says
Love this zucchini bread recipe. I could eat it all my self so I have to be good wheN I make it
Cheryl says
Can you substitute Gouda for other low carb cheeses?
Family On Keto says
Hi Cheryl, sure, you can use any cheese you like!
Luz says
Hi,
You ask for baking soda in your recipe but don’t mention it with instructions. Do we use baking soda?
Family On Keto says
HI Luz, oh, I will edit, thank you! Yes, use baking soda! Thanks!
JP says
Can you taste the coconut flour? I can't stand it and find I can always taste it.... can you just add more almond flour?
Family On Keto says
Hi, actually you don't taste coconut flour. Because of zucchini it has very neutral, "like a real bread" taste.
Donna says
I think more almond flour Is necessary. Cooking time increase as well. Smells wonderful. Hoping it tastes as great as it smells
Family On Keto says
Thanks for the comment. Zucchini have different amount of water inside so you did great by adding more almond flour.
Judie says
Delicious!! I did have to bake it for a 40 minutes though. Maybe I should have used more almond flour. Anyway will definitely make again
Family On Keto says
Hi Judie, thank you so much for your comment. It depends on the oven so it can be longer time to bake sometimes. I'm so glad you like it!
Pam says
Just wondering if this bread taste very eggy? I made a jalapeño corn bread but my family felt it tasted more like a quiche
Family On Keto says
HI Pam, this recipe is not eggy at all. When you just remove it from the oven it could have eggy smell for a few minutes, but it's not eggy at all. Jalapeno corn bread was not my recipe. 🙂
Lisa says
I just made it and was so excited! Unfortunately, for me it was way to eggy tasting! My husband loved it though so that’s a bonus!.
Marinka says

Family On Keto says
