This keto bread recipe is packed full of walnuts.  Sliced it has a chewy and nutty texture.   A healthy low carb bread that is easy to make and a great addition to a cheeseboard. Or simply slice and toast for a breakfast packed full of nutrition.

crunchy walnut bread

Easy keto bread

This keto bread is a variation on my rosemary and olive bread which does not require a pan to bake, keeping it “rustic”.  If you wanted a neater loaf of bread, then by all means spoon the mixture into a loaf tin and bake away!  At only 3g net carbs a slice you can enjoy this keto walnut in any shape!  Even in small bread roll format.

A healthy low carb bread with walnuts

This bread was inspired by a new local bakery in one of the hotels. They have a Swiss baker which is rare on the island and I was curious about what type of breads that they had and whether I could adapt any to be low carb. My greedy eye found walnut bread and since I had a large bag of walnuts at home, I had to try it.

Walnut Benefits

  • Walnuts are packed full of beneficial vitamins and minerals.
  • They are high in protein, great for fibre and a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids.
  • Walnuts contain a high amount of manganese and magnesium, both great for the bones.

The walnut bread mixture is a bit on the heavy side, but I wanted to be able to make a pattern on the top of the loaf to make it more like a rustic, nutty bread. I think the next time I would separate the eggs and whisk up the egg whites to give the bread a bit more volume. However, any bread with nuts is going to be on the heavy side.

Sliced and served with cheese this is a delicious nutty bread. Try it toasted with eggs too! You could add herbs to this low carb bread too. Thyme and rosemary would work wonderfully.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees
  • Place the coconut flour, baking powder, psyllium husk powder and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the oil and eggs and blend well until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and mix well.
  • Add the chopped walnuts to the bread and mix.
  • Gently add the water, a bit at time and stir into the mixture (you may not need it all).
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Using your hands, make a large ball of the dough (I find keeping my hands wet helps with the sticky dough).
  • Place the dough on the parchment paper lined baking tray.
  • Score the top to make a pattern (optional but looks more rustic)
  • Bake for 35 -40 minutes until golden and firm.
  • Slice, eat and enjoy!

    Can I omit the Apple Cider Vinegar? Can I use Apple Vinegar instead?
    Thanks.

      It might work. The vinegar is there to act as a raising agent with the baking powder in the absence of yeast. If the bread turns out flat, it can still be sliced and enjoyed! Let me know how it works out.

    Despite needing to tweak the recipe a little due to my bad planning, this turned out brilliantly. Really easy and delicious. I've been having it warm with cheese, and will try it toasted as well.

    Wow, this really did not work for me. The batter was really moist, like a batter, and could not be shaped so I put it in a loaf pan. I didn't even use all the water. It looked nice when it came out but when I cut it it just crumbles and falls apart and I end up with a plate of crumbs, not a slice of bread. Tastes good though but is too dry.

    Just made this bread this morning,following the recipe, but I added 1/2 cups of cranberries. Oh my so good!! My first thought was how good a chicken salad would be on this bread. I will make this bread many times, it has been the best keto bread I have made so far, it actually taste like a rustic bread. Thank you!!

    Very tasty..... definitely better the next day! Reminds me of a soft biscotti. I used 2 tablespoons of ground chia seeds (I pulsed them myself) instead of the psyllium husk and its delicious! I like my slices warm with butter and honey ?

    Could you add cinnamon to make it more like a sweet bread when I add my slab of butter? to still be keto friendly?

    Often when I bake, I sub cashew milk for water because it usually tastes better. I'm tempted here. Would there be a problem? Gah! Can't wait to try this either way. Thank you so much!

      This explains psyllium husk. https://www.healthline.com/health/psyllium-health-benefits Ground flaxseeds can be used instead but won't have the exact same effect
