Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Bread
When you combine strawberries and rhubarb, you have the quintessential flavor of summer, at least in my book.
You get the sweetness of the strawberries at the peak of the season and the tartness of the rhubarb for a flavor combo that is simply irresistible.
I mean, who doesn’t love strawberries and rhubarb? The combination is truly unbeatable and one of my favorites.
This strawberry rhubarb bread also features a vanilla glaze that further enhances this flavor profile.
I can’t wait till you try this recipe; it’s one I am sure will surprise even the non-keto palate.
The best part of this recipe for low-carb strawberry rhubarb bread is that it’s grain-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, nut-free, and diabetic and keto-friendly.
If that’s not a win, I don’t know what is.
I opted to make this bread with coconut flour because I am getting so many requests for keto coconut flour recipes; I guess they are a bit hard to come by.
Thankfully, I have been able to perfect my keto baking tips with lots of trials and errors.
Low Carb Strawberry Rhubarb Loaf
I’m happy to report that this low-carb strawberry rhubarb loaf is easy to make and uses ingredients that are not difficult to source.
Baking with rhubarb makes sense during a season when so many people are looking for ways to use their rhubarb crop.
Unfortunately, I cannot grow rhubarb in my backyard because this perennial vegetable needs some periods of cooler weather that South Florida just does not provide.
Thankfully, I am able to pick some fresh rhubarb at the height of its season, although I end up paying a pretty penny.
The great news is that it can be found in the freezer section of some of the wiser supermarkets in our area. Thank you, Publix!
That’s right; you can also use frozen rhubarb in this quick bread recipe. An excellent option for those of you who are fortunate to have a crop that needs freezing.
Or, like me, you sometimes have to resort to the freezer section of your favorite grocers.

What Is A Keto Quick Bread?
In case you are wondering what exactly quick bread is, it’s any type of bread that does not require yeast to rise. It means it is usually leavened with baking powder or soda, or even both. And it requires no time to “rise.”
In the case of keto quick bread, it has the same qualities in that it uses baking soda or baking powder, but it also uses low-carb flour.
The best part is that quick bread can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, making it a versatile choice.
