I’m still on my Indian food kick! Obviously my chicken korma, coconut curry chicken and tandoori chicken recipes needed a side dish, and keto naan bread –
– is it! This keto naan with almond flour makes a delicious flatbread that pairs perfectly with Indian food, but also would be a great side to soup or salad. I can’t wait to hear what you all think about this keto naan recipe! It just might become your new favorite low carb bread…
Naan sounds like a complicated recipe but this gluten free naan recipe is pretty fool-proof. If you’ve made fathead dough before (you have, right?) you’ll know how easy it is.
Naan Bread Recipe
And if you haven’t? Well, make this keto naan bread first, and then go make my fathead pizza crust recipe for your next keto pizza night!
This keto naan with almond flour recipe is made with a twist on my fathead pizza dough recipe. I love using fathead dough for low carb bread replacements because it has a chewy texture, which makes it taste so similar to the higher carb versions.
First we knead together the fathead dough recipe. Once it comes together, form it into a ball and then we’ll separate into six sections – use a knife to cut like a pie.
Healthy Keto Naan Recipe
PRO TIP: Keto naan bread is supposed to have a rustic shape, so it doesn’t need to be perfectly round, or perfectly shaped. I thought it was easier to just shape with my hands than use a rolling pin, but if you do want to roll it out, make sure to use parchment paper on both sides of the naan so that it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin.
Once it’s done baking and has beautiful golden spots all over, it’s time for the best part! This keto flatbread is topped with an irresistible combination of garlic, butter, and parsley. Don’t even think about skipping this part!
Keto naan bread is a low carb flatbread. Traditional naan is an oven-baked flatbread that is found in various Indian and Asian cuisines, but it’s made with flour and definitely isn’t low carb or keto.

I came up with this almond flour flatbread version that’s packed with protein and fiber. Naan often has yogurt in it, so I used keto friendly full-fat Greek yogurt in this one.
One piece of keto naan has just 6 grams net carbs. Awesome, right? Traditional naan bread has more than 40 grams net carbs.
All the flavor, none of the carbs – that’s what I do here on Wholesome Yum and I’m so glad we can add keto naan with almond flour to our low carb bread list.
Keto Roti (low Carb Flatbread)
Curry and stews are a natural choice for gluten free naan bread (see above!), but it would also make a perfect side for salads and soups. It’s substantial for bread, so you could always just add a little cheese or pesto and call it a meal. And scooping up crack chicken with naan? Droooooool.

Legit Puffy Keto Naan (i.e. Flatbread!)
And I think it's safe to say that this will quickly become one of your favorite keto bread recipes - it's just too good not to!
Plus, it's so easy to make – almost too easy! All you really need to make them is some basic kitchen tools, a microwave, and an oven.
Ok, so, as I just mentioned, we'll be making this quick and tasty keto naan bread with only a handful of simple ingredients.
Gluten Free Almond Flour Naan
One of the great things about this keto flatbread recipe is that it requires no yeast. As you may know, yeast is a pretty tricky ingredient to work with, so instead, we'll be using protein powder to give it the same chewy, bread-like consistency while keeping the carb count low.
That said, if you don't have any unflavored protein powder - or don't want to use it - you can also substitute it with a heaping quarter cup of almond flour.
And while we're talking about substitutes, you can replace the full-fat sour cream with an equal amount of full-fat yogurt if that's what you prefer. It'll yield the same soft and tangy results for your naan bread.

Also, by the way, I actually use a lot of these same ingredients in my keto bagel recipe, my 10 minute keto pizza recipe, and this 90 second keto bread.
So, if you have some ingredients left over after making your keto flatbread, you should definitely consider whipping up those bagels, or the pizza.
I've mentioned this several times on the blog before, but I'll say it again, when you are using shredded cheese, I recommend shredding your own.
Easy Naan Bread Recipe
These added starches are carbs, so you'll want to shred your own cheese - if you can - to keep this naan as low carb as possible.
Not to mention, shredding the cheese yourself is super easy to do if you have a cheese grater, and it will actually make your naan bread taste better!
Now, since mozzarella cheese is pretty soft, you'll want to freeze it for about 15 minutes to let it harden, then you can grate it as usual.
Keto Coconut Flatbread Recipe (2.6g Net Carbs)
So, for this keto friendly recipe, we'll be using almond flour - instead of white flour - to make every bite as delicious as traditional naan bread, while keeping it low carb and gluten-free.
That said, I used this blanched almond flour from Blue Diamond to make my naan bread keto friendly. It has the lowest carb count I've found in any keto-friendly flours, and it's reasonably priced too.
That being said, two other keto flours that will work as substitutes for almond flour are sunflower seed flour and walnut flour. And you can easily substitute them for the almond flour at a 1:1 ratio.
Low Carb Keto Flatbread Recipe (soft & Chewy!)
Coconut flour is extremely absorbent and it will turn your dough into a dry and crumbly mess - taking away from the soft and chewy texture that this keto naan bread would otherwise have.
Then, using a whisk, combine all your dry ingredients - almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt - in a bowl. And make sure to only use one and a half cups of almond flour for this step and set aside a quarter cup for later on.
By the way, I recommend using a food scale when you make this recipe to ensure consistent results. Pretty much any food scale will get the job done, but if you're interested in the food scale I use in my YouTube videos, it's the Dymo Digital Scale.
Keto Bread Just 2 Grams Carbs!
So, to do that, you'll want to add your shredded mozzarella and sour cream (or yogurt) to a microwave-safe bowl. Then, pop that in the microwave and heat in 30-second increments until the cheese has completely melted.
That said, once the cheeses have melted together - and you've mixed them until they've combined with one another - you'll want to add them into the dry ingredients, and combine everything while the cheese is still warm.
Then, you'll want to mix in your whisked egg, and continue to combine everything until you've got a sticky ball of dough. So, once you've got that happening in there, you'll want to add the remaining heaping ¼ cup of almond flour that you set aside earlier and mix that into your dough to reduce its stickiness.
Ingredient Dough Naan (no Yeast!)
Now, to finish up this step, you'll want to let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes before forming it into your naans.
That said, the first thing you'll want to do is divide your dough into thirds, and then use your hands to form them into round, oval shaped pieces.
By the way, the dough can sometime still be a little sticky at this point. So, if it
