In paleo cooking, you’ll see a lot of cauliflower and zucchini because they’re mild in flavor but can help add bulk to your recipes. Also, they add moisture and fiber to any dish, which can complement other paleo ingredients that need a lot of liquid such as coconut flour and psyllium husk.
Cauliflower is one of several other vegetables in the Brassicaceae family namely kale, collard greens, broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts. It closely resembles broccoli in shape and size, but it comes in white, orange, green and purple varieties. (1)

In terms of composition, cauliflower is certainly very moisture rich. It is 92% water, 5% carbohydrates, 2% protein, with negligible fat. A 100-gram serving contains roughly 25 calories. Compare that to 100 grams of cooked rice which contains roughly 130 calories. It’s no wonder low-carb dieters and paleo dieters much prefer cauliflower rice.
I did make some adjustments to the measurements so that it would be just the right texture I wanted. I recommend following this recipe exactly before you make any adjustments of your own. That way, you have a good baseline.
I don’t know about you, but I feel like bread is a must-have component in so many dishes like pasta and breakfast sandwiches or toast. I used to eat avocado toast for breakfast almost everyday, and my family loves garlic bread during pasta nights. So, it left me no choice–I had to come up with a feasible alternative and this is exactly that.
Ingredient Cauliflower Bread
While the texture isn’t exactly like regular bread, this is a great option for those who are committed to sticking to the paleo diet and are willing to make a few compromises in terms of texture.
Not as sweet as commercial ‘breads’: If you’re expecting something as sweet as say, banana bread by commercial brands, this is a little more subtle than that because we don’t add any sweeteners to the recipe. It’s meant to be more neutral instead of a sort of dessert.
Soft and fluffy: Can you accomplish a soft and fluffy texture without flour? Absolutely! You just need to use the correct ratio of ingredients. This is where paleo cooking because almost like an art–you need balance within your ingredients when it comes to flour replacements and liquids to ensure that it comes out perfectly each time.

It doesn’t take like vegetables: While some of you love your vegetables (that’s awesome!), this recipe won’t taste like a salad or anything like it even though it contains a cup of cauliflower rice. That’s because cauliflower has a mild taste and when combined with the other ingredients in this recipe, it becomes more neutral than anything else. This is a good thing because it can be paired with all kinds of dips and spreads!
Yes, you can in some recipes. Since cauliflower is 92% water, the texture is very different from wheat flour which is very dry and powdery. Cauliflower, even when it’s been processed down into very small components, will end up resembling a puree.
Gluten is an important component in recipes because it provides both texture in function. When flour is moistened and kneaded, this activates an elastic network of proteins in the dough or batter. As the dough or batter is kneaded more, the strands become get stronger and more elastic.
Keto Cauliflower Bread Recipe
You may have read in some recipes that it’s important not to overmix or knead the dough too much. That’s because the resulting texture would become too tough or chewy due to the gluten content. Cauliflower doesn’t contain gluten and thus, will behave differently when compared to wheat flour.

What’s even more crazy is that you can do it with just 3 ingredients! This keto friendly, 3 Ingredient Cauliflower Bread is a delicious, healthy substitute for traditional wheat bread and is perfect for anyone looking to eat healthier, or reduce their carbohydrate intake by eliminating traditional wheat bread from their diets.

You’re probably wondering if it’s worth the effort to make your own low-carb bread, and the answer is a resounding YES! Why? Because, the vast majority of bread you’ll find in grocery stores is not only high in carbohydrates, but is low in essential nutrients, and often laden with added sugar and harmful preservatives. The other problem is that almost all bread, even a lot of the healthier varieties, contains gluten, a protein found in wheat that has adverse health consequences for people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. 3 Ingredient Cauliflower Bread is the answer to all these thorny issues. One slice has 10 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and only 6 grams of carbohydrates. Compare that to a similar size piece of typical white bread that has just 2 grams of protein, less than 1 gram of fiber, and a whopping 13 grams of carbohydrates! That’s quite a disparity in nutrient profiles so it’s worth recapping: each piece of 3 Ingredient Cauliflower Bread has five times the amount of protein, 3 times the amount of fiber and 50% less carbs than a typical piece of white bread. Wow! (Note: not everybody is looking to, or needs to, cut their carbohydrate intake, but for some people, there are compelling reasons to do so. Consuming a lot of high carb foods can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, which can, over time, lead to all sorts of health problems.

Coconut Flour Cauliflower Bread {vegan, Keto}
For this 3 Ingredient Cauliflower Bread post I used a bread slice shaped cookie cutter as a mold but most of the time when I make this recipe I simply flatten the mounds of batter into circles so they bake up more like buns. Another option you have when making this bread is to make 8 instead of 4, in which case you’ll end up with much thinner bread, similar to these cauliflower sandwich thins – a product I used to buy before I developed this recipe. (They’re very good but also very expensive.)

1. You can also use a bread slice shaped cookie cutter as a mold, by pressing the cauliflower mixture evenly into it.
2. If not using the bread the same day, freeze in a single layer and then transfer to a zip lock bag and store in the freezer. To serve, toast the frozen bread for 3-4 minutes.
