This easy keto naan bread recipe makes pillowy-soft, fluffy flatbreads that taste just as good as the real thing! My coconut naan is perfect for mopping up your favorite Indian curry. The recipe is gluten-free and egg free.
I've been craving Indian food recently and have been eating plenty of curries. I normally make them with cauliflower rice instead of real rice to keep things low carb. But one thing was missing. NAAN BREAD!
This naan bread recipe is a bit of a personal breakthrough - it is my first EGG FREE low carb bread. Plus, it contains an extra portion of fiber!

The xanthan gum is non-negotiable. Coconut flour is naturally gluten-free and therefore lacks the elasticity of wheat flour. In the absence of eggs, we need the help of xanthan gum to bind and create an elastic dough.
I'm using psyllium husk powder and not psyllium husks in this recipe. The powder is REALLY finely ground. Psyllium husks, on the other hand, look like tiny sticks. It's easy to mistake them for powder at first glance, so do double-check your pack.
TIP: I like to use a balloon whisk for this and check that there are no lumps. Coconut flour has a tendency to clump together!

2. Now add the hot water and stir. At first it seems like there's a lot of liquid. But both psyllium and coconut flour are SUUUPER absorbent and a dough will form quickly.
I find it easiest to use a fork for this step. If you continued with the whisk, the dough gets caught in the middle, which is a major mess.
3.) Time to get your hands involved. Form a dough ball and let it rest for a few minutes until the dough is not sticky any more.

5.) Place the balls between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll out into long flatbreads. Pierce the middles a few times with the fork and sprinkle with nigella seeds and/or sesame seeds.
6.) Place the parchment with your naans onto an upturned baking tray. I find this helps the flatbreads (or cookies - anything flat) brown more evenly.
The baking time will depend on how thinly your naans are rolled out. Just keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven once they're nicely browned.

7.) Brush with melted coconut oil or butter or olive oil and top with more chopped coriander or parsley and more salt before serving! A pinch of cumin would also work well.
Traditional naan bread has around 40 grams of carbs. Yikes! In contrast, one keto naan comes in at only 3.6g net carbs. That's all the great naan taste without the blood sugar spike!
Yes. You can fry the coconut naan bread in a skillet over low heat for 2-3 minutes on both sides. This way, you will get the same characteristic brown marks as on traditional naan made in a Tandoor oven.
Healthy Keto Naan Recipe
I have not tried it yet, but it should work. I would use 2 ¼ cups or 225 grams of super-fine almond flour.
Use the recipe for my keto garlic bread. You only need to change one ingredient: swap out the cream cheese for yoghurt. And instead of brushing the bread with garlic butter, brush it with coconut or olive oil after baking. Then, sprinkle over sea salt, black or white sesame seeds, nigella seeds or chopped cilantro. And voila, you have a keto naan with fathead dough.
Love yeast breads? I have tested a version of this naan with yeast instead of baking powder. It produces a slightly more tangy bread.

1.) Stir 2 teaspoon of dry active yeast and 2 teaspoon of inulin (or honey/maple syrup) into 1 cup of WARM water. Cover with a cloth and leave to proof in a warm place for around 10 minutes. (This could be on top of a radiator, for example).
2.) Once the yeast is frothing, stir in the coconut flour, psyllium, xanthan gum, salt, melted coconut oil and yoghurt. Make sure that the yoghurt is room temperature.
Without the toppings, the naan is fairly neutral in flavor. After all, it is mostly coconut flour. Therefore, I recommend brushing over coconut or olive oil and adding one or more toppings:
Gluten Free Almond Flour Naan
Turn this naan into a low carb pitta bread by brushing it with a simple garlic butter (melted butter, 1 chopped garlic clove, salt).
First of all, serve keto naan bread warm - either straight from the oven or toasted. Once it cools, it loses its crispy crust.

Some psyllium husk powder brands turn purple when baked. I have used the BonPom, Green Origins and the Just Natural Organics brand good results. In the US, the NOW and Healthworks brands are popular.
Keto Bread Just 2 Grams Carbs!
NOTE: It is really essential to add a generous pinch of salt and black and white sesame seeds or, even better, nigella seeds to the bread, and baste it with melted butter, olive or coconut oil before eating. Without, the naan does not have much flavour (as it's mostly coconut flour). It is designed to be eaten WITH a curry.

Ever since sharing my 2 ingredient dough naan recipe, I’d been meaning to make a keto naan bread. Fluffy and delicious naan is something I’d missed since going keto, so I was SO keen to recreate one of my favorite foods ever.
Skillet Flatbread Recipe
Unlike traditional naan, this keto version is made without flour and without yeast, but you’d never tell. It’s thick, fluffy and doughy, and takes less than 20 minutes to make!
Now, don’t be deterred by the use of mozzarella cheese- It doesn’t give any cheesy flavor but adds the most buttery texture. We love serving this easy keto naan with homemade keto korma and curries, or even on its own- It makes a fabulous keto naan pizza or can be flavored in many ways.
Start by microwaving the mozzarella cheese with milk, until it has melted. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl to let it cool slightly, before adding in the eggs, almond flour, and baking powder. Mix very well, until a ball od dough remains. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes. Once it has cooled slightly, form 8 balls of dough and flatten them out to a rough, circular shape. Place the naan on a baking dish and bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until just done. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes, before brushing with butter and minced garlic.

If you’d prefer to make this keto naan stovetop, you’ll need to let your dough sit until cooled. Once cool, preheat a non-stick pan on medium heat and generously grease it (to avoid the cheese melting onto it). Reduce the heat to low and cook the naan for 2-3 minutes, before carefully flipping and cooking the other side. Continue until all the naan has been cooked.
This keto naan bread recipe is so fluffy and doughy, you won't believe it is low carb! Made with no yeast and no flour, this keto naan takes just 20 minutes!
TO STORE: Leftover naan can be stored in the refrigerator to enjoy later. Be sure it is covered completely. It will keep well for up to 1 week.
