    This keto walnut bread recipe is packed full of walnuts and flavour. When sliced it has a chewy and nutty texture. This 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 keto walnut bread

    This bread was inspired by a new local bakery in one of the hotels here in Saint Lucia. 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.

    ARE WALNUTS KETO?

    Walnuts are a great low carb nut with just 2.1g net carbohydrates per 28g (1oz) serving.

    • 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.

    EASY KETO NUT BREAD

    This keto walnut 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.

    INGREDIENTS

    The ingredients for this low carb bread are based on my favourite coconut flour and psyllium husk powder bread recipes.

    keto walnut bread ingredients
    • Coconut Flour
    • Psyllium husk powder - I grind mine in the coffee grinder before use to make it extra fine.
    • Eggs
    • Coconut Oil
    • Baking Powder
    • Apple Cider Vinegar
    • Walnuts
    • Salt

    HOW TO MAKE KETO WALNUT BREAD

    The walnut bread mixture may be 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.

    Stir dry and wet ingredients together

    walnuts to bread dough

    Add walnuts to dough

    water to dough

    Add boiling water and let sit for 10 minutes

    scored bread dough

    Form into loaf shape and score

    There's a video above the recipe card to take you through the process.

    HOW TO SERVE LOW CARB WALNUT BREAD

    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.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Can the psyllium husk powder be substituted?

    If you can't use psyllium husk powder you could try using a flax egg. The psyllium husk powder helps bind the bread in place of any gluten.

    How is this keto bread stored?

    Keep this bread in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It should last up to 4 days.

    Can other nuts be used?

    Try this with pecans in place of the walnuts. Utterly delicious!

    Can this keto walnut bread be frozen

    Once the bread is totally cool, it can be frozen whole or even in leftover slices. Keep the bread in either an air tight container or ziplock bag. It should last abot 3 months frozen.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • ½ cup coconut flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 4 eggs
    • 4 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1 cup walnuts chopped
    • ½ 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). Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
    • 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!

      This was so yummy! Whipped the egg whites separately and folded them in at the end. Added about 1 tsp. of stevia glycerite and used coconut oil. Only needed about 1/4 cup of water. . It was slightly sweet with a pretty good texture. I’m going to add cinnamon next time! Thank you so much for this great recipe.

      Glad I stumbled upon your page! Great recipe. I whisked the egg whites separately for more volume, eliminated the water altogether & added keto sweetener, cinnamon & cranberries as someone suggested. Made a nice size loaf! Was also great toasted. I will make this often & experiment with different herbs & flavors.

      After making your dellicious zaatar chicken (I adapted it to crockpot), I had high hopes for this. I was very confused why it didn't work out. Your video kept skipping to the next recipe every time I tried to see it. I think there's a problem with so much trying to load up. I lost my message from my phone , and so now i'm on my PC.
      I had so much liquid, it was a thin batter. I didn't get the breadcrumb consistency you got. I baked it in a loaf pan. It only needed 45 minutes till the center reached the target 180 degrees.
      How are you measuring your coconut flour? I use the stirring the "flour" and spooning in lightly into the measuring cup method. That came to 45 grams of coconut flour in a half cup. If you are dipping the cup in, then it's packing in a lot more coconut flour. That's the only thing I can think of that would make the amount of liquid too much for this part of the recipe.
      I'm not going to rate your recipe yet, because maybe you can help me fix it for next time. I would love to be able to do a freeform loaf. As is, I can only give it two stars.
      Thank you very much, Judy

        I remade this at the weekend and the bread was fine. I fill my cup to the level with coconut flour. I think the trick is to add the hot water gradually as brands of coconut flour can vary and may not need as much water. I let my dough sit for 10 minutes this time to bind. I've add process shots to the recipe so you can see how it worked out.

      I love this bread. I play with the recipe all the time. I leave out the psyllium husk/ground flax and instead add two over ripe bananas and a half cup of Lily's sugar free chocolate chip, it makes such a yummy banana bread, it does need a little longer in the oven. Recently I discover I have an intolerance to eggs, I'm wondering if avocado might be a good substitute.?

        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.

      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.
