How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

After lining a loaf pan with some parchment paper, the first thing that you’ll want to do when making your bread dough is to beat together three large eggs with a zero calorie granulated sweetener like Stevia. This is obviously used to help keep the bread low in carbs in order to make sure it stays 100% keto-friendly, but more importantly, it also makes the recipe much healthier as well.

There are definite links between excess sugar consumption and health conditions such as heart disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. (1) Using alternatives like Stevia is an excellent way to sweeten up your recipes without having to worry about any negative effects.

Next, you can go ahead and add in your peanut butter (make sure it’s all natural!) and the pure vanilla extract to add some more flavor and healthy fats into the mix. Beat the mixture until everything is well combined and then add in the coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Just as Stevia is used to replace the sugar, coconut flour serves as a healthier alternative to wheat flour that helps your dough to maintain its consistency.

Meanwhile, the cinnamon spice helps to add another delicious element to your bread, while also offering some great benefits as well. The spice has been used for centuries all over the globe for a variety of medicinal and culinary purposes, and it’s especially notable due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. (2)
