This easy keto naan bread recipe makes pillowy-soft, fluffy flatbreads that taste just as good as the real thing! My coconut flour naan is perfect for mopping up your favorite Indian curry. The recipe is gluten-free and egg-free.
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.
Low Carb Naan Bread
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.
This section contains step-by-step instructions and photos that show how to make this recipe. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities
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!

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 very absorbent and a dough will form quickly.
I find it easiest to use a fork for this step. If you continue with the whisk, the dough gets caught in the middle, which is a major mess.
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.
Keto Fathead Dough For Flatbread, Pizza
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.
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.
Easy Keto Naan Bread
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.
Easy Gluten Free Naan Bread 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.
Easy Low Carb Naan
Step 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).
Step 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.
Step 3.) Form a ball, cover again and let the dough rise for 30-60 minutes until it has increased in size considerably.
Homemade Naan Bread Recipe
Pitta bread: Turn this naan into a pitta bread by brushing it with a simple garlic butter (melted butter, 1 chopped garlic clove, salt).
Change the size: Just like with regular naan, it's easy to change up the size! Make 3 large naans (increase the baking time by 3 minutes) or 12 small dippers (oven time reduces by 2 minutes).
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:
Keto Naan Bread With Garlic Butter
First of all, serve keto naan bread warm - either straight from the oven or toasted. Once it cools, it loses its crispy crust.
It is designed to be eaten WITH a curry, for example, this Keto chicken curry or my Keto Chicken Tikka Masala! Don't forget to serve your curries with cauliflower rice to keep them keto-friendly!

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.
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.

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.
Keto Naan Bread
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.

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.

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
