After my pumpkin bread turned out so good, I was excited to experiment with various other flavors. The challenge in creating a recipe for bread that are keto friendly is you don’t want them to taste eggy because when you are craving bread, you aren’t craving eggs. (Can I get an amen?) I was shocked at how good this low carb Blueberry Bread turned out. Somehow, the bread was amazingly crusty, which means that it is definitely not eggy! I call that a success. When I asked my 11 yr old son to taste it he responded with, “Mom, that is really really good. Yum!” That in itself is a success in my book.
Serves: 12

Is the carb count per slice or whole loaf?!?
The carb count is per slice based on 12 slices.
What size loaf pan do you use?
It was just a standard loaf pan.
This is a keeper! It is so delicious! I didn’t do the glaze this time, but may add that the next go around, because I promise you there will be another go around with this bread!
Awesome! So glad you loved it!
Can you sub almond flour?
You can, but it’s not a 1:1 substitution. It’s more like 1:4.
Does this need to be refrigerated after?
I did mine.
I am new to keto but when I put all this into my fitness pal it says 21 carbs per slice?! Do you have the recipe saved in there for easier downloading?
It is saved in myfitnesspal app. However, my fitness pal doesn’t subtract sugar alcohol from the swerve or fiber so it has to be done manually.
