STRAWBERRY LOW CARB BREAD RECIPE

I’ve loved strawberries since I was a little girl barefoot in my grandparent’s garden, carefully picking the best strawberries for my grandmother’s homemade six-layer strawberry shortcake. That cake was always the star of the show at every family gathering, and it’s one I had never forgotten even though my grandmother passed away when I was in high school. Since saying goodbye to sugar and embarking on a low carb lifestyle, I thought I’d make a Strawberry Low Carb Bread Recipe with a delicious homemade icing in honor of my grandmother, who nurtured my love of cooking from a very young age.

Even if you aren’t a baker, this keto strawberry bread recipe comes together very quickly with just a few steps. Besides the keto specialty ingredients listed below, you don’t need anything special to make this bread. It is also a great way to use strawberries before they go bad.

Keto Specialty Ingredients used in this recipe:

Here is a list of the Keto Speciality Ingredients that I used to make this delicious mouth-watering keto quick bread recipe.

    • Coconut Flour – You can sub almond flour, but you’ll need four times as much.
    • Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered or Swerve Confectioners Sweetener – These sweeteners measure the same so that you would use the same amount of either. I don’t recommend using Stevia as it tends to be very bitter in baked goods.
    • Heavy Whipping Creamthis is a keto regular. It provides extra fats to ensure you stay in ketosis. Plus, it provides a good consistency for the cake and the moisture needed for good icing.

Because of the coconut flour’s fiber content, the batter will very thick, but it will bake up nice and moist. This is also why you use more eggs and oil or butter in keto bread recipes. Without the added moisture from the eggs and oil, the bread would be tough and dry.

How to Make Strawberry Low Carb Bread

To get started, line a loaf pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350-degrees.

Ingredients for strawberry bread in a bowl

 Step 1: Melt the butter and set it aside to cool. Beat together the eggs, egg white, Monkfruit powdered, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. 

Step 2: Add the melted butter to the mixture and beat it until well combined.

Step 3: Stir the coconut flour in until it is combined well. Then, add the diced strawberries and stir. The batter is going to be thick.

Step 4: Spoon the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 65 to 70 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Note: If the top of the loaf still looks somewhat wet, cook for two or three more minutes.

Set the loaf aside and let it cool for five to 10 minutes.

How to Make the Icing for the Strawberry Low Carb Bread

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until the icing begins to turn light pink. You may need to add a tad bit more heavy whipping cream if the icing is too thick. 

Wait until after you add the strawberries before evaluating the need for more heavy whipping cream as the strawberries’ moisture content will release and thin out the icing as you stir it. If then it seems too thick, add a tad bit more heavy whipping cream. Keep in mind that the warmth from the bread will make the icing easier to spread..

Doesn’t it look amazing? This Strawberry Low Carb Bread turned out as I had hoped. Although it took a few tries to get it just right, it was worth the wait.

Can I freeze strawberry low carb bread?

You can store the strawberry keto bread in an airtight container or zipper bag in the freezer. It should last in the freezer for about six months. You will want to let it thaw out to room temperature before eating it.

How long will the keto bread keep?

The keto bread is fresh and doesn’t contain additives and preservatives. It will not store long on the countertop. I store all of my keto bread recipes in the fridge for up to a week wrapped in saran wrap in an airtight container to keep them from drying out. 

Can I use different berries for this bread?

You can substitute other types of berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. For those berry varieties, you can use them frozen. Strawberries work much better for this recipe if they are fresh.

What can I serve with the strawberry low carb bread?

There are a few toppings that are delicious with this keto bread. Of course, you can use it for dessert or for your breakfast toast if you like. Or you can top it with things like:

  • a tab of butter melted on top of a warm slice
  • fresh strawberries
  • keto whipped cream

  1. for the keto strawberry bread can you also use nutiva coconut flour or bobs red mill coconut flour?

  2. I have some frozen strawberry mash do you think I could use them instead of fresh? Would I have to add more coconut flower or less liquid to make it work?

  3. Keto newbie here!
    I have been loving your dinner recipes! Thank you so much!! I tried the Strawberry bread tonight and used granulated monk fruit instead of powder without realizing there would be difference or maybe I didn’t catch that I needed to use powder. Just wanted to put it out there incase someone else (that doesn’t bake much) doesn’t catch it. The bread was way to sweet. I’ll have to try again..?

    1. Hi Holly, I’m glad you have been enjoying my recipes. It is listed as powder on the recipe card, but those kinds of details can be easy to miss. It’s always hard to find the balance of the right amount of sweetener because everyone’s taste buds are different. When I make a keto dessert, I often feel like it is too sweet while my husband feels the exact opposite. So, you may need to adjust recipes to your preferred sweetness. When I am making something for myself I tend to use less than if I am making something for my hubby and kids.

    2. 5 stars
      I just tried the Bread Recipe this weekend. I gotta tell you, it is just crazy moist. I loved it! But, I have to agree with you, I thought it was too sweet for my personal taste. Next time, I’m gonna do less frosting and I think it will be perfect for me. I enjoy your blogs, recipes and posts!! Have a Great Week!!

  4. Oh my goodness, this bread is delicious. FYI, use the parchment paper, I didn’t the first loaf and it fell apart. It was still so yummy. I think I have to go make another loaf it was so good.

  5. What size pants do you use? I’m wanting to buy some that you can gift the bread in. The ones I’ve found are 6 inches in length and 3¼ in width

  6. How much almond flour would i use to substitute for the coconut flour and would i need to adjust the eggs and butter ratio also?

  7. I’m new to Keto. If I do t have powdered monk fruit can I put the monk fruit crystals in a blender to make it powdery?

  8. Hello, my daughter love baking and is about to make this recipe for me. However, we want to know if we may use powdered Stevia since we don’t have Monk fruit. If so, how much would we use? Please let us know as soon as possible so that we can make it. Thank you in advance for your response.

    1. You can swap these sweeteners out as long as they are the same variety. For instance, granular to granular or powdered to powdered.

    1. Hey, sorry, I have never made these into muffins. I would just have to test and see what worked.

  9. I had a hard time getting the icing to not be crunchy, like the sweetener wouldn’t dissolve, so I kept thinning it and still has some crunch to it. Any suggestions?
