This chia almond low carb bread recipe has a texture just like whole-wheat bread and can be baked as a loaf or as rolls. A perfect everyday grain free bread, this easy recipe is gluten free, Keto and delicious with sweet and savoury toppings. No eggy taste!
Since I first published this recipe in August 2018, this bread has become a firm reader favourite with hundreds of five-star reviews like the one above.
Together with my almond flour bread, it is one of the most popular recipes on my website. That's why I have decided to give the post an update with step-by-step photos and more details.
I Tried Every Low Carb Bread I Could Find. Here Are My Favorites.
I am so happy with this bread - it might just be my personal all time favourite. The texture reminds me of whole-wheat bread. It is soft, with a tender crunch in the crust.
When I first went low carb, I thought I had to give up bread forever as grains are off the menu. Wheat and other grains contain easy-to-digest carbohydrates that the body converts into glucose (=sugar). Eating grains provides a short-term energy boost and will spike your blood sugar - whether you choose a white loaf or a healthy whole-wheat one. Shortly after, your insulin levels plummet and you'll feel hungry again.
As Dr Willam Davis writes, 2 slices of whole-wheat breadraise blood sugar higher than 6 teaspoons of table sugar. Read his book Wheat Belly, in which he explains in detail why we should ditch wheat and other grains - it's an eye-opener.
Low Carb Sandwich Bread
So much for the bad news. The good news is, there are plenty of bread recipes using grain free flours. These will not spike your insulin levels the way regular bread does AND they taste absolutely delicious.
Quark is a German cooking cheese, which is made by heating soured milk until it curdles. It is available in larger supermarkets in the UK and Northern Europe. In the US you can get it online or in delis/natural food stores.
Recipes using almond flour can result in a crumbly, dry texture because of the lack of gluten. The quark makes up for this and gives this low carb loaf a wonderfully moist bread-like texture.
Diabetes Bread Recipes
Yes! Quark makes this recipe also less heavy than other grain free bread recipes, because you use it in place of fats such as butter or coconut oil. With almond flour or almond meal containing plenty of healthy fats on its own, you still get that lovely low carb long-term energy boost.
If you have difficulties sourcing it, you can replace the quark with Greek yoghurt. This will alter the taste slightly, but it would still work well.
Almond flour and coconut flour. Both almond flour and almond meal (or ground almonds) work in this recipe. The added coconut flour further improves the bread-like texture and taste.
Low Carb Cloud Bread Recipe
Psyllium husk provides an extra dose of fibre, which we all need for well-functioning digestion. It gives the bread more substance and that whole-wheat taste. Check what kind of psyllium you have - if you want to use psyllium powder, use only 1 ½ tablespoons as opposed to the 3 tablespoons stated for the crushed husks.
Chia seeds. You can use black or white chia, whichever you can get hold of. These awesome superfood seeds are not only packed with nutrients, but they also act as a binder. That's why you only need 3 eggs for this bread. Other low-carb bread recipes use as many as six eggs. Fewer eggs = zero eggy taste!!!
In addition to the above, we're using baking powder, a pinch of salt and sunflower seeds. The sunflower seeds are optional. Any other seeds would work just as well - sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds, for example.
Keto Pumpkin Bread
Step 4: Fill the dough into the loaf tin and let it rest for 15 minutes so the psyllium and the chia can absorb the liquid. Sprinkle more sunflower seeds over the top.
Step 5: Bake the bread for around 45 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a knife inserted comes out clean.
I used a small loaf tin(18 x 9 cm / 7 x 3.5 inch) with a volume of 450 ml. It is about half the size of regular loaf tins. Low carb breads tend to be extremely filling as they are nutrient-dense, that's why this smaller size is just perfect.

If you do not have a small loaf tin and don't want to double the recipe, you can make Keto rolls instead. Let the dough rest until the chia and psyllium have absorbed all moisture before you attempt to handle the dough!
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Then, I pop each slice straight from the freezer in the toaster. This is meal planning the German way - we were brought up on bread and I just NEED to know I can have a sandwich when I feel like one!

Deidre's Low Carb Bread Recipe (made Keto!)
I used a small loaf tin (18 x 9 cm / 7 x 3.5 inch) like this one (450ml volume). It is half the size of a full size loaf tin/bread pan. I'm finding it really useful because low carb bread is filling and denser than wheat bread. Less is more 🙂
The sunflower seeds taste good in the bread, but are not necessary for the texture. You can leave them out or replace them with sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds.

Keto Coconut Flour Bread (low Carb, Nut Free, Paleo)
I have several bread recipes on my site, ranging from Easy No Knead Bread, Overnight Sourdough, No Yeast Soda Bread and Dukan Diet Bread. Only thing missing? A Keto bread recipe of course!
Those following the Keto diet or simply cutting down on carbs (HFLC diet) have a few options when it comes to Keto friendly breads. A lot of low carb breads are made with almond and coconut flour – both staples in Keto baking.
I personally LOVE breads made with almond flour, however they are quite dense and heavy. They resemble soda bread – sort of a cake-like texture. Not the type of bread you would use in a sandwich!

So I searched for a low carb bread recipe without almond flour – I wanted something fluffy and more like real yeasted bread.
I came across a reference to “Deirdre’s Real Low Carb Bread” on Amazon of all places, in a comment made on a product I was unfamiliar with. But before I get carried away, let’s take a look at what you will need to make this Keto bread.
As you know the Keto diet allows for no flour, not even gluten free flour. So we must use a set of low carb ingredients, all of which bring something to the table. Let’s break it down!
Bread Alternatives For Low Carb And Keto Diets
This is the main ingredient in our bread and if you have never heard of it before you are not alone! Vital Wheat Gluten is Keto friendly since it is high in protein but low in carbs. It looks like finely milled flour – stripped of the starch until only the gluten remains.
Using Vital Wheat Gluten will give structure and texture to your Keto bread and make it fluffy like the real thing! However it is worth remembering that your bread will not be gluten free if you use this ingredient.
Oat Fiber should not be confused with Oat Flour (as I did when I first ordered). The first is keto friendly the latter is not! Oat fiber (or fibre) is made from the husks of the oat and is insoluble. It adds bulk to your bread without adding too many carbs or calories.

Potato Fiber is, surprisingly, another Keto friendly ingredient which can be used in this recipe instead of the Oat Fiber. It has a slightly more pronounced taste.
This amazing ingredient is high in fiber, full of nutrients, High in Omega 3s… It is also easy to find! I used a darker ground flaxseed in my recipe which is why the bread is darker in colour.
