Keto egg loaf is one of our favourite sweet treats. We decided to work on a keto egg loaf recipe and absolutely fell in love with this blueberry and lemon keto egg loaf. The lemon adds some zing and the blueberries add some sweetness and pops of flavour. Lemon and blueberry is one of our favourite sweet flavour combinations. We just love it.
Keto Egg Loaf
If you are looking for a quick and easy keto dessert, you have to try this keto egg loaf. We loved cooking it our bundt cake tin as it made the egg loaf look so pretty and would be a perfect when presenting it to friends or family for desserts. When we make this just for us we usually just cook this in a loaf tin and divide it up.
This keto egg loaf recipe serves 8 people, so it’s great to serve when making dinner for a group of friends. If you are just making it for 1-2 people, like we normally do, divide it into 8 serves and keep it in the fridge so we have keto egg loaf for dessert or even breakfast. It keeps well in the fridge for a few days.
A hot tip for reheating the stored egg loaf. We would recommend pan frying it. This will almost make it like french toast. It will brown up a little bit on the cut sides of the egg loaf and you will get a few yummy crispy bits.
Low Carb baking
Baking your favourite desserts and cakes using low carb replacement ingredients can be tricky. When you start replacing flour with low carb replacements like almond flour and coconut flour, it’s important to know they don’t work the same as normal flour.
When using sweeteners in place of sugar it’s important to check if it acts as a 1:1 replacement. The Sukrin sweeteners we love are a 1:1 sugar replacement and acts the most like sugar of all the sweeteners we have tried.
Even though these things make keto baking more difficult, it is really easy to find a keto version of most of your favourite baked goods.
Keto Sweeteners
We love to use Sukrin sweeteners in our keto baking and this keto egg loaf. We have tried loads of the sweeteners available on the market and have found this to be the best tasting option with no bitter after taste. Our family and friends, who are not keto, love our keto baking too when it is made with Sukrin. Also, it is made with our preferred sweeteners, a combination of stevia glycosides and erythritol.
Australians! Don’t worry, the Sukrin products are available for us too. If you are interested check out Sukrin Australia.
Our favourites from the Sukrin products are;
- Sukrin 1 – which substitutes one for one for white sugar
- Sukrin Gold – which substitutes one for one for brown sugar
- Sukrin Melis – which substitutes one for one for icing or powdered sugar
- Sukrin Gold Fibre Syrup – this reminds me of golden syrup that we use in baking in Australia. It tastes delicious and is great for making any caramel recipes
Tips for keto egg loaf
- When reheating leftover egg loaf, we recommend frying it in a pan. This will make it like french toast. It will slightly brown on the cut sides and create some delicious crispy bits.
- If using a baking pan that isn’t a non stick one, line it with some non stick baking paper to avoid the keto egg loaf getting stuck.
- Make sure you don’t add the blueberries to the blender and add them to the batter after blending. This will mean the blueberries will stay whole and add a delicious pop of blueberry in your mouth once it’s cooked.
Serving Suggestions
- We love to drizzle some sugar free maple syrup over the top. This really gives you that french toast feeling. In Australia, you can find this sugar free maple syrup at Low Carb Emporium.
- Drizzle some of our blueberry sauce over the top. We absolutely love our blueberry sauce and it really takes this keto egg loaf to the next level. When serving to friends, serve with a jug of this blueberry sauce and your friends will be super impressed.
- Whipped heavy cream. Dollop a spoon of whipped cream or for Australians some of our favourite double cream.

Nutrition Per Serve
Good breaky option when you’re sick k of bacon and eggs.
So great.
I was searching for an egg loaf recipe with a twist. I absolutely loved it! Thanks so much. I’m happy I found you two. I’ve been checking out your other recipes. Lots I will be trying and I’ll give you my feedback!
Wow, Erika. Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you have found us too.
Luv the texture of this loaf. I’m trying it next with a dairy-free cream cheese
A dairy free option sounds great
I can’t have dairy. Do you think coconut creme would substitute will for the creme cheese?
Hi Hilary, I am not sure that would work. You would need to try it.
8oz Philly cream cheese is 800cal, 3TBS butter is 300cal, 8 large eggs are 624cal. That alone is 215.5 calories for one slice.
Seriously, how are you getting 130 calories with 8 servings?
Thanks for the heads up. It looks like the recipe software was way off with the cream cheese calories. I have double checked this recipe with cronometer and a serve is much closer to 200 cals. Thanks so much for pointing out this error. Just note, the recipe asks for 2tbsp of butter, but the error was definitely in the cream cheese.
This looks absolutely amazing!
What size bundt pan did you use?
Hi Jess, good question, or pan is buried deep in storage at the moment. In the post I recommended this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000D8CAM/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=havebutterwil-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0000D8CAM&linkId=bb020a97af41c02cccc1805f8e511bf7
I’ve made this twice now and even though I love lemon I did not love the lemon rind in it. I made a ha;f batch and it was perfect. Totally Yummy
Interesting, we LOVE the lemon rind it. Glad you enjoy the egg loaf though.
So, I just made this but I tweaked it due to what I had on hand and the texture that i was looking for. Although i realize either way that i made it, the blueberries would fall to the bottom, i think next time i will mash half of them up to get more blueberry flavor throughout. With that said, here is what I added:
2 tablespoons extra butter
Cinnamon to taste
3 tablespoons coconut flour
4 Real Lime packets instead of lemon rind
I made it like cloud bread by separating the whites with yolks and whisked the whites and folded it in the batter.
Then the rest is the same. It texture turned out exactly how I wanted it to be. Thank you.
Sounds like you found a recipe that works for you.
