Enjoy as sandwich bread, by itself with a little butter, or anything in between.

From morning toast to a quick sandwich to a nice side with dinner, there are plenty of times you may be craving bread on a keto diet. But there’s no need to miss out on the fun when you can make this easy homemade keto bread!

Diabetic Multi Grain Bread

With only six ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time needed, it couldn’t be easier to whip up a low-carb and gluten-free loaf. And if you cut your bread into 10 slices, each slice is only 1.1 net carbs! Perfect for any keto-friendly meal.

This simple recipe comes together in eight steps with six ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. Let’s see how it’s done!

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9×5 baking sheet with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2: Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and the yolks in a separate large bowl.

Step 4: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the almond flour, coconut flour, monk fruit, and salt. Stir until a thick mixture forms.

Step 5: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in 3-4 batches. Mix until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the bread is a light golden brown on the outside and firm to the touch.

It can be tempting to cut into your low-carb bread right away, but giving it time to cool will yield the best texture. I promise, it’s worth the wait!

The stiff egg whites are what give this bread its fluffy texture, so you want to be pretty gentle as you fold them into the egg yolk mixture.

That being said, you’re going to have to really stir to incorporate the first batch of egg whites into the stiff egg yolk mixture. That’s okay. It will be easier to gently fold in the egg whites after that.

The internal temperature is also very important for texture. For the best possible results, we want to get the inside up to at least 200°F before removing from the oven.

Finally, given that there are eight eggs in this recipe, it’s safe to say that the flavor is a tad “eggy.” Personally, I don’t mind it, but I do find that spreading some butter on my slice helps make it seem more like “real” bread.

The Best Breads For People With Diabetes

Due to the eggs in this recipe, we definitely want to keep it in the refrigerator. When stored properly, you can enjoy it all week long as toast, quick and easy sandwich bread, or a vehicle to sop up any low-carb soup!

Just place your keto-friendly bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within five days. You can eat it straight from the fridge or pop it in the toaster for a warm and crispy slice.

With simple ingredient swaps, it’s easy to adapt so many foods to a low-carb and keto way of eating! Even comfort foods can become part of your weekly menu. Here are a few of my favorite keto-friendly recipes I know you’ll love:
