How to Make Keto Sweet Zucchini Bread Loaf

Begin by shredding the zucchini and squeezing the life out of it. Use a large-hole grater lined with a muslin cloth to catch the shreds. Wrap the zucchini shreds and form a pouch. Over to kitchen sink, wring the pouch and squeeze over and over, shaking the contents from time to time, until no liquid escapes.

                      

Take your time doing this, or you’ll end up with a soggy bake, no matter how long it stays in the oven. Do this step correctly, and you’ll have a moist – not wet, delicious result.

Next, whip the eggs until frothy and pale. Whisk again after adding oil and orange extract, and then after adding sweeteners and then after adding the other dry ingredients. Stir in the shredded zucchini using a spatula. Pour the mixture into a 2lb silicone bread loaf mould and bake.

You can omit the orange extract, but although almost undetectable, I think the loaf tastes nicer with it. On the other hand, if you prefer a strong orange flavour you can use more than what I indicated in the recipe.

The loaf will most certainly deflate once the oven is turned off. To reduce deflation, leave the loaf in situ with the oven door open 45° for 10 minutes, then open the door fully and leave it there until warm. Take it out of the mould and place it on a rack so that residual moisture escapes.

Keep it uncovered, at room temperature and it will stay fresh for a few days (if it lasts that long…). After a few days, best wrap it in cling film and keep it refrigerated, although I very much doubt you’ll have any left…)

Enjoy!
