French Toast the Keto Way!
Ok, so this recipe might be cheating a tad bit, because it relies on our signature keto bread recipe. If you haven’t made it before, check it out! It’s super simple and comes out consistently great every time. Conquering keto bread can really help with adherence to the keto diet if you’re having trouble giving up all of your old favorite dishes. We’re going to take this bread on a magical journey and turn it into low carb french toast sticks! 
Low Carb French Toast
We’re going to make this low carb french toast the same way you would make traditional french toast, with the only difference being that we are using low carb bread. This recipe can also be used for normal french toast, but I prefer to go with french toast sticks because you have more surface area, and therefore more flavor gets into the bread. 
The mixture we are going to coat the bread in is also very easy to customize based on the flavors you’re going for. I’m a big fan of maple cinnamon french toast, so that’s what I go with here. 1 egg makes enough batter for 8-10 large french toast sticks, so scale up this recipe accordingly. Combine 1 egg, 1 tbsp cream and any other flavors you want. I add 1/4 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. If you have a liquid sweetener you are going to want to add it into the batter mixture as well. If you plan on using a powdered sweetener you can dust it on at the end. I usually omit sweeteners when cooking for myself, but these are definitely boosted by a bit of sweetener.
Frying and Plating
Once coated in the batter you have a few options with your low carb french toast sticks. You can let them sit for 5 minutes so the batter penetrates to the middle and makes the bread a bit soggier/moister. This will result in a softer center in the finished product. I like to throw mine in the pan right after I coat them. We’re going to be frying these in Ghee, but you can also use coconut oil. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, for a total cook time of 8 minutes or until golden brown.

Does this freeze well after frying? Thinking about busy mornings or when you need a quick snack you could just defrost a few and reheat.
We haven’t froze them but you could try it!
Hey Matt-
If KetoConnect Bread makes 20 slices, what is consi2 large slices for the French Toast Sticks recipe?
However big you want to make them. I would say if you slice the bread loaf into maybe 8-10 slices, it may be big enough for french toast.
I am in week 2, and feeling nauseous as my body adjusts. I made the bread first and then the French toast….totally cured my cravings and made this journey easier.
Are your nutrition facts based on the whole recipe? On this recipe the calorie count is 437, is that for all 8 sticks? So the carb count is 4.5 for all 8 sticks?
Hi! I’ve updated the recipe to be a little less confusing. The nutrition listed is for 1 serving, which includes all 8 french toast sticks. Enjoy! 🙂
Great recipe! What is the serving size for the macros listed?

How many French toast sticks make 1 serving?

I just made this recipe. I used the basic recipe including their recipe for “Our Favorite Kati Bread. My husband is allergic to almonds so the recipes for coconut flour ingredients are important to me. These was so good. I think the best French toast I have ever had. Thank you for all you do
So is 1 serving 8 French toast sticks? Or is 1 stick 1 serving?

I made this bread last night and I’m just curious, does everyone’s come out with a sort of wet, dense consistency? Or is it supposed to be more dry? It was almost like french toast already when I took it out. Did I miss a step or whip the eggs wrong or something? It’s still yummy and once I toast it or make it into french toast it’s great, but I wonder if maybe there’s a way to get it to more of a bread texture.
I made this recipe this morning for brunch and it is a 100% on the Omg!Delicious list. I made my bread yesterday and was ready to go this morning.
This an a side of bacon…5 stars!!
YOU get five stars for this review! Thank you so much for giving it a shot!!
Trying this in the morning with the bread I made from yesterday. For the one asking about a crunching coating, I wonder if ground pork rinds would work? I also made your Cinnamon Toast Crunch and it turned out really well! Thanks for the yummy recipes ?
That sounds like it might work!
I was thinking…. shredded coconut on the outside might work too.
I can not use link for the bread says web page not found. 🙁
Go to their Keto Connect on You Tube they have the video og the bread recipe.
is there somthing i could use besides ghee
butter
I can vouch for this recipe! Super tasty and very close to actual french toast. 🙂 I recommend using flavored Ghee to fry the toast in as well. In my case, I used Maple Cinnamon ghee – it just give it a bit if extra flavor, but it’s not necessary of course.
Could this be made without the ghee? Also what is the best sugar free syrup to use?
Ya, you can cook these with any kind of fat/oil you see fit. The absolute best syrup is probably a monk fruit based one. Those can get kind of expensive though. Most grocery stores will have some sugar free syrups and we usually just go with those.
I have found the very best sugar free syrup! It is Lacanto Maple flavored syrup. It is sweetened with monk fruit and no artificial flavors. It can be bought through Amazon, but the Lakanto website has some great sales. Sometimes 50% off.
French Toast is my absolute fav! I can’t wait to try this for breakfast tomorrow morning! Thanks. Also, have you guys tried the ThinSlim bread products? It’s a bit pricey for a loaf but only 1 net carb per slice and it’s really good!
We have not tried the thinslim products, but we’ve tried a couple of other low carb breads and most of them are pretty good.
Thinslim is great! I have also found that Chompie’s low carb bread is delicious. I’m fortunate to live near one so I can buy it fresh and not have to pay shipping.
Thank you! I happened to have soul bread in the freezer. This was a fabulous change for breakfast for the hubby and me.
for a crunchy coating, after dipping in egg mixture, dip into finely chopped nuts, almonds or pecans, that have been dusted with a little cinnamon and coconut sugar, fry in butter as usual being sure not to burn.
Sounds amazing!
This recipe looks good. I used to like french toast with a crunchy coating like corn flakes. Now I’m at a lost. If you guys have any alternative can you share please?
We’ll have to think about that one. That could be tough!
King Arthur Flour Company makes a toasted almond flour…mine should arrive in a few days. I’m going to try rolling the French toast sticks in that. I’m sure it will add crunch!
Would crushed plain pork rinds work? If they are unflavored you could mix some cinnamon in with them and dip the Keto bread in them after they are dipped in the egg mixture.
Pork rinds
You could try pork rinds, they may be more savory though
Maybe use their keto cinnamon toast crunch recipe just crush it up after they have cooled… just a thought
This sounds extraordinary. Can’t wait to try.
Would it be possible with your future recipes to include the macros on the printable recipe page?
I will look into this. That would definitely be much easier for us when we’re writing up these recipes. I’ll do some digging and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the feedback!
