A Healthy Low Carb Bread Recipe
The secret step in this recipe that takes this carb-free bread from good to great is the separation of the eggs. You’re going to want to separate the yolks and the whites. The reason for this is that we’re going to whip the egg whites until they are fluffy. We’re looking for soft peaks. This will add some volume to the otherwise dense keto bread.
Beating the egg whites is the answer to the denseness that comes with making an almond flour bread. I’ve made countless baked goods using almond flour and the main problem I’ve encountered is how dense the finished product is. The fluffy egg whites in unison with the high dosage of baking powder do a good job of getting this loaf nice and fluffy and adding some air pockets into the loaf. This makes for a better tasting bread.
Some people are fine with the popular keto cloud bread recipes out there, but we wanted something more dense and filling. By adding the almond flour to the fluffy egg mixture, you add more fat, protein, and calories making for a satiating meal. Plus, the texture and flavor is
What makes this the best keto bread recipe is the fact that you can use it the same way you use regular bread. Sounds crazy right? If you search for keto bread on Pinterest, or the internet you’ll find a different recipe for everything you might want to make.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
There’s no need to try making this recipe using coconut flour when we’ve created this amazing coconut flour bread recipe for you. It’s a slight variation on this recipe and is the perfect coconut flour loaf for those of you with nut allergies or if you just hate almonds.
How do I get rid of the eggy taste?
There is a mild eggy taste to this bread, which we happen to love, but some people don’t like it. We’ve tested a couple of different ways to eliminate it and here is what we’ve come up with:
- Stevia – It might sound crazy, but adding a few drops of stevia to this recipe is the best way to eliminate the eggy taste. Just a few drops will do! We typically use 6 drops of stevia. That amount will not make the bread sweet to the taste at all, but it will greatly reduce the eggy taste.
- Yeast – Adding a tablespoon of Active Dry Yeast to this recipe can result in a more traditional bread flavor. The yeast won’t make the bread rise or anything since we’re not using sugar or gluten, but the flavor will still come through.
- Butter – This might be the best way 🙂 Just add some delicious butter to the top of a slice and you will think you’re eating traditional bread!
Is the keto bread dairy-free?
This recipe calls for melted butter, but you can swap that out for whatever kind of dairy-free fat you like best. Ghee, coconut oil, or avocado oil would all be great options. Let us know if you try the swap and how your bread turns out.
Is the recipe gluten-free?
Yes! This keto bread recipe and all of our other keto recipes are gluten free. The bread is made with finely ground almond flour instead of wheat flour, which means you and your gluten-free friends can enjoy a slice.
How do I store Keto Bread?
Slicing to order is going to be your best bet from a shelf life standpoint. We pop the entire loaf in the fridge, either in a Tupperware container or a Ziploc bag and cut off slices as we eat it. It will last in the fridge for 7-10 days.
How do I get my loaf to be taller and fluffier?
The two major issues that will lead to a flat loaf is not whipping the egg whites and gently folding them in OR using almond meal instead of a finely ground almond flour. If you’ve tried everything and they don’t seem to be working for you, the next best option will be to make a larger recipe. Try making 1.5x this recipe (it’s easy to do using the servings slide bar) and you’ll have a much larger loaf.
Where to buy Keto Bread near me?
If you’re not a fan of baking but you’re a fan of eating bread, there are places to get keto friendly bread these days. If you’re lucky, you may be able to find a loaf of “Paleo Bread” in the freezer section at Whole Foods Market. This bread is going to cost you over $10 per loaf, but it is made of good ingredients and is a few grams of carbs per slice. There’s also rumors of ALDI carrying a new Zero-Carb bread, but it sells out fast and we haven’t been able to review it. Hopefully in the near future there will be more local buying options for low carb bread, but for now, those are your only options.

Keto Bread Using Coconut Flour
This is our coconut flour bread loaf recipe. Very similar to our Best Keto Bread recipe, but we’ve eliminated the nuts and replaced it with coconut flour. The resulting bread is more soft and moist, but can be a bit more crumbly. We alternate between these recipes regularly and still can’t decide which one is our favorite.
Best Keto Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
- 6 Large eggs Separated
- 1/4 cup Butter melted
- 3 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar It's ok if you don't have this
- 1 pinch Pink Himalayan Salt
- 6 drops Liquid Stevia optional
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat until soft peaks are achieved.
- In a food processor combine the egg yolks, 1/3 of the beaten egg whites, melted butter, almond flour, baking powder and salt (Adding ~6 drops of liquid stevia to the batter can help reduce the mild egg taste). Mix until combined. This will be a lumpy thick dough until the whites are added.
- Add the remaining 2/3 of the egg whites and gently process until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix as this is what gives the bread it's volume!
- Pour mixture into a buttered 8x4 loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure the bread is cooked through. Enjoy! 1 loaf makes 20 slices.

Matt, I’m not sure if this would make a difference in how the Keto Bread turns out but from past experience, my darling deceased hubby used to make his own recipe of whole wheat bread in Montana and we were at 3,000 ft. above sea level. . .it always turned out wonderful. We tried the same recipe in AZ at 375 ft above sea level and it would never rise. So I thought some of these folks may be running into the same problem. We found that we had to adjust the amount of water in the recipe. Just a thought!
Hiya,
Look at this fragment from your post:
“There’s no need to try making this recipe using coconut flour when we’ve created this amazing coconut flour bread recipe for you.”
The second coconut should be almond.
No matter how often you read and re-read your texts, there’s always something that slips your attention.
😉
I’m pretty sure the second “coconut bread” was a link to a different recipe, as in don’t make things complicated by trying to adapt this recipe, we already have a coconut flour recipe over here.
This was the first recipe I tried from your book, Keto Made Easy:) It came out perfect:) My nemesis is bread, and pasta and chips. Although, I have lost most of my cravings after 4 weeks on Keto, I am a cook, and a baker. Learning to try different keto recipes, to substitute for old family favorites is my new mission.
I love Plain Greek yogurt. is it OK for kito diet?.I would like to have some recipes using yogurt. thanks for your help Carmela
Yes, some are ok – just watch carb counts!
