Do I have to use almond flour and coconut flour?
Though flours are often suitable for substitution, I would highly recommend sticking to almond and coconut flour here to provide the best taste, texture and lift. In my experience, you simply cannot get the same result using just one of the flours.
Trust me, it’ll be worth it! Plus, there are plenty of other yummy keto recipes you can make with these two magic ingredients, so they needn’t go to waste.

Are raspberries keto?
Yes – raspberries, like most berries, are naturally low in net carbs and therefore fit well within a keto diet.
They’re also packed with a ton of great vitamins and minerals, including potassium, omega-3 fatty acids and manganese. This is good news for everything from the heart and blood right through to bone and skin health.
Raspberries are rich in fiber, too, which is super beneficial for digestive health, and helps reduce the overall number of net carbs.
Storage Tips
Keto Raspberry Lemon Bread is best stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool area. If your room temperature is on the lower side, a cupboard is ideal.
However, during the Summer months or in hotter climates it may be best to refrigerate your lemon bread to prevent the cream cheese frosting from melting.
