White Chocolate Lemon Zucchini Bread {keto}
Ingredients
- 6 Eggs, separated
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/2 cup Iconic Vanilla Protein Powder (see notes)
- 1/2 cup Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
- 1/2 tsp Redmond Salt
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon (or 1 tsp Pure Lemon Extract)
- 2 cups Zucchini, shredded and lightly dried on paper towels
- 6 Tbsp Butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Lily's White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12x4” loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with shortening, butter, or avocado oil. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer in a large bowl), beat the egg whites until you reach stiff peaks. Move egg whites to another bowl so you can use the stand mixer for the rest of the batter.
- Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer bowl (now fitted with the paddle attachment) and mix together.
- Add in the egg yolks, zucchini, lemon juice and zest, and butter. Beat until combined.
- Fold in the egg whites and white chocolate chips until just combined, making sure not to deflate the egg whites.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and gently smooth the top. Sprinkle on some additional white chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool about 30 minutes - 1 hour in the pan. Use the parchment flaps to lift the load out of the pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
* If using an unflavored protein powder, add 1 tsp Vanilla Extract with the wet ingredients.
* If using an unsweetened protein powder, add 2 Tbsp more Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener.
* If dairy-free, replace butter with palm shortening and use a non-dairy protein powder (untested, but it should work just fine).
