This Keto Blueberry Bread is a delicious, moist, and soft keto pound cake with only 3.9 grams of net carbs per slice. Plus, it’s a dairy-free recipe meaning it’s a perfect paleo blueberry pound cake!
I love making keto bread, such as my Keto Cinnamon Bread, Keto Chocolate Pound Cake, or Keto Orange Pound Cake. So much so that I almost always have one bread or pound cake in my fridge. This Keto Blueberry Bread is a low-carb pound cakes made with keto-friendly flours and low-carb sweeteners.
They combine the taste of a classic pound cake with minimal carbs, which is the hallmark of a keto diet. I really believe this is the best keto blueberry bread recipe ever. In fact, the combo of lemon juice, fresh blueberry, a pinch of ginger, and toasted sliced almonds works like magic.
The texture of this keto blueberry bread with almond flour is moist and soft like a traditional French blueberry breakfast cake.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make this keto blueberry cake are a few simple ingredients and just 15 minutes. Let’s see what you need to prepare this lovely moist keto blueberry lemon bread:
- Almond Flour – I recommend fine almond flour and not almond meal for the best result. Almond meal is made with unpeeled almonds. It gives a gritty texture to cakes. Learn more about keto-friendly flours.
- Coconut Flour – Since this blueberry bread is keto, it is made with coconut flour and almond flour. I found the combo of both almond and coconut flour to deliver the best texture. So don’t replace coconut flour with almond flour!
- Sugar-Free Crystal Sweetener – I love a good Monk fruit and erythritol blend, but you can also use pure erythritol crystal or even xylitol in the same amount. Learn how to choose your keto sweeteners!
- Eggs – Make sure you use large eggs at room temperature.
- Coconut Oil – Melted, make sure your coconut oil is not burning hot, or it would cook the eggs!
- Lemon Juice – I love a light touch of lemon in my blueberry bread. If you don’t feel like it, you can use orange juice, but it brings more carbs! You can also add some lemon zest for a tangier taste.
- Vanilla Extract – for flavor.
- Ground Ginger – Just because lemon and ginger are made to be together! It is optional though, don’t use it if you are not a fan of ginger.
- Xanthan Gum or guar gum – This makes the bread hold together really well. Don’t skip for the best results.
- Blueberries – Fresh or frozen, blueberries are a low-carb fruit.
How To Make Keto Blueberry Bread
- Start the keto blueberry bread batter by combining the eggs and sweetener in a large mixing bowl.
- Beat them with an electric beater for 30 seconds until they are well combined.
- Pour the dry ingredients into another large mixing bowl: almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and ground ginger. Make sure there’s no flour lump before pouring the egg mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Add melted coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Stir the pound cake batter with a silicone spatula or a wooden spoon until it is well distributed.
- Add the fresh blueberries and incorporate them gently so they keep their shape and integrity.
- Transfer the batter into a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan lined with lightly oiled parchment paper.
- Press some sliced almonds on the top of the bread before baking it.
- Bake the blueberry bread for 60 to 75 minutes in the oven preheated to 350°F (180°C).
- Add a piece of aluminum foil on top of the pan after 20 minutes of baking time to prevent the top from browning.
- Let the blueberry bread cool down for at least 30 minutes in the loaf pan before taking it out. It allows the bottom of the bread to finish baking.
- Pull it out of the pan and let the keto blueberry bread cool down on a cooling rack for 3 hours before slicing it.
Storage Tips
This blueberry pound cake can be stored in the pantry for up to 3 days, in an airtight container. You can also keep blueberry bread slices in the freezer in an airtight container. Thaw the keto bread slices the day before on a plate at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
This lemon blueberry bread recipe is very much inspired by my keto lemon pound recipe. This recipe has a similar buttery-pound-cake texture to my previous lemon cake recipe so it’s a great simple keto dessert or all-day snack.
However, the addition of spices, crunchy sliced almonds, and blueberry make the whole bread different and delicious for breakfast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sure, you can use frozen blueberries or fresh blueberries. Both options work perfectly. However, frozen blueberries may add some more liquid to the batter.
The result is a softer keto blueberry cake but as good!
Classic blueberry bread contains upwards of 30 grams of carbs per slice.
This low-carb version only contains3.9 grams of net carbs per slice.
Yes, you can make this recipe in muffin tins, but I recommend my keto blueberry muffins instead.

Keto Blueberry Bread
Ingredients
- 5 large Eggs at room temperature, out of the fridge for 3 hours
- ¾ cup Granulated Sweetener monk fruit stevia blend or xylitol
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Coconut Flour
- ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum or guar gum
- 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger optional only if you like the flavor!
- ½ cup Coconut Oil melted, not hot (or melted butter if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¾ cup Blueberries fresh or frozen
Optional
- ¼ cup Sliced Almonds to decorate the top of the bread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a loaf 9-inch x 5-inch pan with a piece of parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper to make sure the pound cake doesn't stick to the pan. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat eggs and sweetener for 30 seconds until combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and ground ginger (if you like ginger).
- Pour the beaten egg mixture, melted coconut oil (not hot, or it will cook your eggs), lemon juice, vanilla onto the flour blend. Stir with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Stir in fresh blueberries and transfer the blueberry bread batter onto the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle some sliced almonds on top of the bread if desired and slightly press them on the top to stick.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, making sure that you add a piece of foil on top of the loaf pan after 20 minutes to prevent the top of the bread from burning.
- Check the baking process after 60 minutes. Remove the piece of foil, insert a skewer in the center of the bread. If the skewer comes out clean or with few crumbs on it, it is cooked. You can remove the loaf pan from your oven. Otherwise, bring back the piece of foil on top of the loaf and keep baking by 10 minutes burst, checking every 10 minutes up to 75 minutes.
- Cool down in the loaf pan for 30 minutes, then lift out the blueberry bread from the pan by pulling on the pieces of parchment paper.
- Cool on a rack for 3 hours or overnight before slicing. It is a crucial step to make sure the bread doesn't fall apart when you slice it.
Storage and freezing
- Store in the pantry for up to 3 days, in an airtight container.
- Freeze the bread sliced in an airtight container. Defrost the day before on a plate at room temperature.
Notes
Allergy Swaps
If you have food allergies, you can do the following substitutions:- Xanthan Gum: replace it with Guar Gum.
- Coconut Oil: Swaps it with melted butter.
- Blueberries: though it won’t be a blueberry bread anymore you can swap them for any other fresh or frozen berries.

This recipe is perfect. I have made this keto bread at least 5 times now and I cannot believe that I can eat this and still stay on keto! So far Sweet as Honey is my go to website for all keto recipes
Love this recipe! How many servings are in one loaf? Trying to calculate my calories.
Serving size appears on top of the recipe card, this loaf serve 16 slices, 1 serve is one slice. Enjoy! XOXO Carine
This is one of my favorite cakes ever! Low carb, low glycemic and the texture and taste are amazing! Love it!!
Amazing, moist cake, not gritty or greasy. Just made today and turned out perfect, had to keep in oven for 75 mins. Worth it!
We love this! Have made it twice already… i enjoy it At room temp or cold, or warmed with butter. Husband has decided its best with buttercream frosting!
Great recipe – thank you.
No need to leave eggs out for so long. Just cover the eggs in a bowl with very warm water for 5 minutes…room temp achieved. Very nice recipe. Have also made this with strawberries!
Can I make this bread into muffins?
I would rather use my keto blueberry muffin recipe here, a bread recipe will work into muffins but won’t be as fluffy as muffins. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Absolutely delicious! I’m in love with this recipe! Perfect texture, tastes amazing and easy to make. I used 1/2 cup of my sweetener since it seems to be sweeter than other kinds ( it’s a monk fruit and Erythritol mix). I also didn’t have xanthan gum so I decided to replace it with a teaspoon of ground psyllium husks and it worked perfectly. I made this recipe with raspberries and added a bit more than the recipe was calling for. It was so delicious! Thank you for that great recipe!
Awesome recipe,
How do I keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom. Thanks in advance
Karen-n-Texas
If you are using fresh blueberries they shouldn’t sink, mine didn’t. Otherwise, you can toss them with 1 tablespoon of coconut flour before adding to the batter! This helps absorb moisture from frozen berries. Enjoy Karen, XOXO Carine
the best KETO blueberry bread ever! Thank you for sharing!
By far, one of the better recipes I’ve found online. I didn’t have a loaf pan so used a Bundt and it came out AMAZING! Super moist. People were shocked that it was low carb, gluten and sugar free. This one is a keeper for sure.
Hi Carine! OMG! This is the best bread. Thank you so much! I look forward to trying more of your recipes.
Thank you for trying my recipe ! I am so glad you love it too. XOXO Carine
My phone won’t let me do 5 stars but this recipe definitely is! Only thing was it needed more lemon. Instead of the almonds I used powder swerve, lemon juice, and hwc for a glaze. Was a huge hit with my anti keto family. Thanks for sharing and I will be making this again for sure.
Delish, I’ve added lemon and orange peel for more flavor and did half blueberries half raspberries. ????????????
Thanks for the tips on adding orange peel! It sounds amazing. Take care, XOXO Carine
Fantastic delicious recipe! Thank you so much for sharing with us and for your hard work on the blog. It’s really a life saver for the sweet tooth keto lifestyle followers.
I really hope to see in the future a Tiramisu recipe and an ice cream one. 🙂
Thank you ! I noted your request! I am on it 🙂 Thanks again for trying my recipes, XOXO Carine
Do I thaw the blueberries first or can I use them frozen
You can use them frozen in te recipe. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Wow wow wow wow! For every 10 epic fails of healthy recipes I try there is one that shines and this blueberry lemon bread is it! I’ve got a very critical French husband and kids who can sniff out a cardboard healthy recipe a mile away and this one passed with flying colors. My his abs keeps asking me if it’s really healthy in disbelief. Trying this recipe out was a no brained as I had already taken a chance with the lemon loaf and as this is a modified version I had a very good feeling it would be just as good if not better. Thank you SweetAsHoney for cracking the code on healthy and tasty moist & perfectly light bread. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Thanks SO much! This is the most beautiful comment I had today. As a French girl who used to love French baking, I understand your husband hesitation to try healthier version of pastries and sweet pastries. I do my best to create recipes that are healthy but burst in flavor and I am so so happy that you noticed it! Take care. Merci beaucoup, XOXO Carine
this cake it is just amazing. I did it today for the first time and I will do it over and over again. We all loved it.
I am so happy to read that ! Thanks for trying my blueberry bread recipe, I can’t wait to see which recipe you are making next. XOXO Carine
Hi! Love your page!! New to using monk fruit. I found for an icecream recipe I tried recently that the monk fruit proportions were way too strong even for erythritol substitute. Can I use less sweetener?
Pure Monk fruit is as sweet as pure stevia. My recipes use a blend of Monk fruit and erythritol that can be used as a 1:! ratio replacement to sugar. Read my article on keto sugar free sweetener and try my free converter to convert any recipes based on the sweetener brand/type you want to use! Enjoy the recipes on the blog, XOXO Carine
Hi there, sorry so many questions today…however is it possible to replace the eggs in this recipe with something…if so what would work?
Same answer as in the previous comment 🙂 I didn’t try egg replacement in any of my keto cakes or keto pound cake but many readers enjoy just egg egg replacer, I provided my amazon affiliate link for you if you want to have a look. Enjoy the recipe, XOXO Carine
