It’s so nice to have a loaf of low carb bread at your disposal when you’re on a keto diet. It almost feels like cheating. Check out this recipe and start making the best keto bread you’ve ever tried today!

The thing that takes this keto 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 whites until they are fluffy. We’re looking for soft peaks.

Beating the 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.

But not here. This low carb bread recipe combines fluffy whites with the right amount of baking powder, which adds air pockets into the loaf and makes it soft and fluffy. This makes for a better tasting keto bread recipe with the mouthfeel you want.

While this homemade keto bread recipe is by far the most popular of the low carb bread recipes on our site, we do have a handful of others you may want to try:

When you first set out to make a bread keto friendly, you are going to need to replace all purpose flour with a low carb alternative. Typically we use almond flour or coconut flour.

Rather than trying to substitute coconut flour for almond flour, you are usually better off looking for alternative keto recipes that uses your desired flour, because they behave so differently in recipes. Either option is going to be a big improvement over wheat bread.

Start by separating the egg yolks from the whites. While many recipes skip this step, based on our vast experience of making keto bread we think it’s essential. Beating the whites in a separate bowl is what gives this loaf increases its volume and makes it fluffy and a pleasure to eat.

Expert tip: Adding cream of tartar to the bowl will make it easier to whip them up to the point of soft peaks. This ingredient is truly optional though – it makes it easier to handle but doesn’t add much to the finished loaf, so don’t worry if you don’t have cream of tartar to hand.

You can either do this in a food processor or with a hand mixer in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients (almond flour 1 1/2 cup, baking powder, butter, egg yolks, salt and stevia) together and mix until combined. Make sure the butter isn’t too hot when you add the yolks otherwise the yolks will cook.

Stevia is our preferred way to eliminate the eggy flavor of this low carb bread. Alternatively you could add 1 teaspoon of vinegar.

3 teaspoon baking powder is used in this recipe. While it may seem like a lot, we have testing this recipe extensively and found this to be the magic number. 1 teaspoon baking powder just doesn’t have the power to lift the heavy almond flour and you’re left with a dense low carb bread.

Now it’s time to delicately fold in the egg whites, preserving as much volume as possible along the way. You only want to continue folding until the batter is homogeneous in color and texture.

I’m from the school of thought that there is no downside to using parchment paper when baking. I’ve never been upset that I used parchment paper, but there were plenty of times when I didn’t but wished I had.

Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter from the mixing bowl. We recommend using 8×4 for this recipe. If you use a 9×5 loaf pan your bread will come out too flat.

Now you just have to wait… Bake your loaf at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until your keto bread passes the toothpick test: Stick a toothpick into the center of the bread and take it out. If it comes back clean, it’s done. If it has gooey dough on it, put it back in the oven.

The total time to make your bread low carb should be 45 minutes. Let it cool and spread it with butter, or make it into a grilled cheese sandwich (my favorite).

Another amazing this about this recipe is its versatility. We like using this bread for breakfast sandwiches and as a complement to standard keto breakfast foods.

It’s also great toasted. When making toast it is best to toast in a skillet on the stove top or oven with butter spread on it, rather than using a toaster.
