This keto bread with almond flour is buttery and delicious! With a lovely crumb, this quick bread is a snap to make for all your low carb uses!
Bread without grains and carbs? Seems unlikely, but this bread really satisfies any carb or bread craving you may be having (you could also try my popular nut free keto bread for some variety)! At only 2 grams net carb per slice, it fits nicely into a low carb eating plan!
Finding a keto bread that tastes good and that you actually want to eat is the holy grail of aspirations when you are keto.
Fathead breads and bagels are frankly amazing (pumpkin fathead bagels?!!)…but eating THAT much cheese all the time wasn’t in my game plan.
However, even if you CAN eat gluten, carbs, and grains, this simple quick bread is delicious in its own right and worthy of a slather of butter!
This keto bread toasts beautifully, and the almond flour is subtly sweet all by itself.
Whatever you decide to do with it, make up a loaf today!!
Serving suggestions for this low carb bread:
- I love to make a breakfast sandwich with ham, gruyére, and a molten egg!
- amazing with a slather of any nut or seed butter (like my homemade sunflower seed butter)!
- toasted and spread with butter
- make some parmesan toast for your next Italian meal
- grilled cheese sandwich!!!
- French toast is always an option!
Does this keto almond flour bread taste eggy?
While this is certainly a subjective answer…in my opinion…not at all!
It actually reminds me of a brioche bread!
I’ll ask you you to report back and give me your own opinion in the comments below!
Flavor adaptations:
Consider this loaf a basic foundation. If you are ever needing some variety in your life, here are a couple of flavor ideas you could try!
- In the mood for some jalapeño cheese bread? Throw in a cup of sharp cheddar cheese and some diced pickled jalapeños! A teaspoon of garlic powder wouldn’t hurt either!
- How about a keto streusel ribbon put in a couple layers?
- add some erythritol if you like a sweeter bread similar to white breads. 3-4 tablespoons.
- add 1/2 cup erythritol and some fresh berries! (Lemon zest and blueberries!)
- Italian style with a 1/2 cup parmesan, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Additional keto recipes:
- I love to start my morning with a bowl of the cozy low carb hot cereal!
- Two members of my family choose this paleo meatloaf as one of their favorite meals!
- This keto sweet and sour chicken is bound to make the kiddos happy!
- Looking for a snack masquerading as a cookie dough? My collagen cookie dough bites are maybe a little TOO tasty!

great recipe! So glad to have bread again.
Mine is baking in the oven right now. Looks amazing. I have to leave 2 of my guys for a day and a night, so they’ll LOVE having this easy, yummy snack. I know it’ll be gone when I get back. Thank you for such a fast, reliable recipe!
Hope it is enjoyed Megan!
Could you please try it without psyllium husk but with xanthan gum and let us know, pretty please? I simply cannot stomach psyliium husk, makes me very nauseous.
I’ll let you know if i do Sophia, promise!
What could I use instead of psyllium with no or almost none carbohydrates?
Thank you for sharing your recipe!
I haven’t tested so can’t be sure, but I’d probably test maybe a tablespoon xanthan or guar gum. If you try it, I’d be super curious!
I opened this link right before my kid woke up yesterday and immediately got up to make it for him. He loves it! He prefers it toasted with some cheese on top. 🙂 I used refined coconut oil because I didn’t want any coconut taste (and I try to not use butter if I don’t have to because of dairy issues) but I want that brioche taste so I’m going to use butter next time. 😉 Can’t wait! Thanks for the great recipe! I’m also going to freeze slices like the other commenter. It’s great to have another recipe in the rotation!
I love refined coconut oil…it’s what I use exclusively so my kids don’t shirk at what I make! Glad the bread is being enjoyed Erin!
This bread is to die for! It’s so easy to make and really versatile. I love to put it in the toaster and eat it as an open face sandwich with ham and cheese, it’s great as a french toast too. It freezes well, I just sliced the whole loaf and freeze it in a zip lock bag, and only take out a slice or two at a time. My favorite keto bread og all! Thank you Tessa!
