Keto Bread is the answer to your low-carb prayers. With 6 healthy ingredients, it’s the perfect sandwich bread. Now you can make incredible keto sandwiches stuffed with roast beef, lettuce, dijon mustard, and primal kitchen mayo nestled between slices of toasted Keto Bread. This bread is baked in a regular size loaf pan and is as tall as a store bought loaf of bread. You’re going to love it!

Easy Keto Bread Recipe

All you need to make this wonderful fluffy bread is almond flour, eggs, egg white protein powder, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar. I use egg white protein powder in this recipe because it makes this bread incredibly fluffy and helps it to rise.

Keto Bread
Serves:16slices
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse almond flour, egg white protein, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt
  2. Pulse in eggs until smooth
  3. Transfer batter into a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf dish
  4. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean
  5. Cool for 2 hours, then remove from pan
  6. Serve

How To Bake Keto Bread

When you bake this bread, be sure to place the pan on a baking sheet. I’ve made this bread several dozen times and it hasn’t ever overflowed from the loaf pan, but it is a very tall loaf and if your oven temperature is a little off either way it may cause your loaf to expand and overflow.

How To Store Keto Bread

To store this low-carb Keto Bread, let cool overnight, then wrap in a paper towel and place it in a ziploc bag. It will keep refrigerated for 1 week when stored this way. I haven’t tried freezing this bread so not sure how long it would keep in the freezer.

Serving Suggestions for Keto Bread

Keto Bread is delicious plain and phenomenal with butter or ghee, but it’s even better toasted!

  1. Hi Elena, I don’t see egg white protein powder anywhere in India. What could I use instead please? Will a vegan, unflavoured protein work?

  4. Hi, Elana,

    I am not quite clear about the egg white protein. I looked it up on-line and still do not know the ingredient/s.
    I do have dried/powdered egg whites from Honeyville, and wonder if I could use this/if this is the same.

    many many thanks,
    RJ

      • I didn’t have the egg white protein powder either, but used a whey protein powder as a substitute and still got great results. I also reserved 1/3 Rd of the batter and made mini everything bagels after adding 1/2 cup of fiber yum to it. Lastly I also substituted 1 cup of the almond flour for arrowroot powder and included a tablespoon of psyllium husk powder and the same of nutritional yeast.

        Reply

    • Just made this using Honeyville egg whites and it turned out great. I did pack the egg white powder into the spoon a little since it’s so fluffy, but worked perfectly.

  6. Hi,
    Can you give me one or two substitutes for almond flour? After food testing, I can no longer eat almonds or walnuts and numerous other things. So many recipes are made with almond flour. Thanks.

  7. Elana, I believe I have heard you state before, you bake in the upper one-third of your oven.
    This rule of thumb I use especially for breads.

  9. I enjoyed the recipe even though my loaf did not turn out as I had hoped. Followed recipe without exception but did not achieve the risen height that yours did in the picture. Mine only rose about 3 & 1/2″. Difficult to diagnose unseen but I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.
    Might a small amount of liquid help; say 1/2 cup of water or almond milk?

  10. Thank you for this wonderful bread. I omitted the egg protein powder because its not available in my tiny town and couldn’t wait — the bread is still excellent.

    I have missed bread so much. I went on the grain-free/sugar free diet 7 or 8 years ago. I was up to 200 lbs and feeling like crap despite my organic whole food mostly meatless diet. I have struggled with weight my whole life, been on diet after diet, and always gained back. Thanks to “keto” or whatever you call it, I lost 60 pounds and have kept it off. But gone was my favorite thing — bread. Gone —cookies, pie all that. I only ate when actually hungry — no sport eating — because I was pretty sick of meat and vegetables and eggs.

    OMFG! I am going to have an avocado and sharp cheddar sandwich!

  11. I am wanting to try this, but I don’t have a food processor. May I use my hand mixer and expect the recipe to be successful? Thank you….I made another Keto bread recipe that tastes pretty “eggy,” so was still looking for an alternative….I hope this is better.

  12. Don’t have a food processor….just a portable mixer and an immersion blender. So used the portable mixer. Could you comment please on the consistency of the batter? It came out like peanut butter…maybe a little less stiff…

  15. This bread rose beautifully, unfortunately even though I followed the directions exactly, the bread did not cook in the middle. It also had a bitterness to it, that made it hard to enjoy. I’m intrigued enough to try tweaking the recipe a little to see if I can make it taste better and cook evenly. I’ll let you know my results.

      • I don’t suppose you (or anyone else reading this blog) have tried using a different type of protein powder? For example, I have collagen protein on hand (whereas I’d need to acquire a tub of egg white protein powder to make this recipe with no sense of whether or not I’d use it again). Warm regards, and thanks.

        Reply

          • I accidentally used a. whey cookies and cream protein powder and it turned out AMAZING!!

          • Instead of the egg protein powder I substituted for Slim Fast Advanced Nutriton High protein vanilla cream smoothie mix.In a typical bread recipe it calls for sugar.It turned out amazing and gives it that great balance I think most keto bread recipes are missing.I want to find a better blend of ammo,d and coconut flour though.

      • I can’t wait to try this recipe but I only have regular eggs. Can egg whites be used instead of egg white powder? The flours and meals are so expensive. Trying to pinch pennies.

  23. We just made your low carb zucchini bread and it was a hit! Going to try this one next. I thought awhile back you linked to an organic egg white protein powder. If so, any chance you remember the name brand? My boys need to eat organic due to an autoimmune disorder. If not, then no worries. Thanks to the fabulous reader comments, I see it’s possible to try and use egg whites themselves. Thanks for all you do- my family and boys appreciate you and all that you are up to in this world!

  25. I made this bread and really liked it. It raised wonderfully. However with 4 cups of almond flour in it that comes to around $10.00 (Canadian) for a loaf of bread. That’s kind of steep. Any suggestions on another recipe which would obviously use other flours as well as some almond flour?

      Reply

      • I live very close to sea level also, and my bread did not turn out well. The first time I made it, it did rise better than other breads I have made, but it was dense and moist. Also, it was a grayish color. So the next time, I ordered the exact ingredients you use, including the same glass bread pan. It looked better in the pan than the first, but it, too, was a grayish color, did not taste good, and was still dense and moist. I followed your instructions exactly and used the exact same ingredients. The only conclusion I can come to is that the sea level makes a significant difference. So disappointing–was really hopeful after seeing the picture of your bread.

        Reply

        • Mary, thanks for your comment! My MIL makes this all the time and she lives at sea level so that’s not the issue here. This is a dense, yet fluffy bread and it may be that you did everything perfectly and it is simply not to your liking. Here’s something you might enjoy:

  32. Tried this bread last week. Loved it, the texture reminded me of old fashioned butter pound cake so this time I added 3 teaspoons almond extract, 1/3 C coconut flour, and 3/4 C chopped pecans. Used a glass pyrex pan, the almond flour from Costco, and the egg white powder from Trader Joe’s. It turned out excellent. Can use it as a pound cake or sandwich bread. I have all your cook book and use them often.
    Next time I am going to try orange extract and pecans. Thankx for this bread, I’ve been waiting a long time for this.

  35. I’m confused, please explain. I checked the carbs in a quarter cup of almond flour and it’s 6 gm. So if this loaf has 4 cups in it, that is 96 Gran’s of carbs, how is this keto? I’m disappointed because I really wanted to make this.

  36. Hi Elana,
    I love your recipes!
    I have made many of them and they always come out great.
    I see that it says to let the bread cool overnight before wrapping in a paper towel and putting in a baggie.Does that mean leave it out on the counter not in anything? If that is the case, wouldn’t it dry out?
    I just want to make sure I understand.

    Thank you for all you do,
    Kim

    Reply

    • Kim, you can leave it in the pan or take it out. Almond flour breads are so moist that a little drying out can be a good thing :-)

      Reply

  37. Hi, Thanks for this recipe. I have made kept bread before without the protein powder and it turned out just fine. I used 1 1/2 cups of almond flour 6 large eggs (separated), 4 Tbsps. melted butter, 3 tsps. Baking powder (no aluminum), 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar and a pinch of salt. In a food processor mix egg yolks, almond flour melted butter and baking powder. Whip egg whites with cream. of tartar. Mix 1/2 of egg whites into almond flour mixture then remainder of egg whites. Put into prepared pan and bake for 30 mins. at 375 degrees.

    I did not use any egg white protein powder.

    • Thanks so much for putting this Claudia! I didn’t want to have to purchase egg white powder and was wondering if I could just use egg whites to make this bread. So glad I read through the comments!

      Reply

      • I made my own egg white powder by beating egg whites til stiff peaks formed, then spreading them onto an ungreased, parchment paper lined sheetcake pan, and baking on the lowest setting in my oven for 4 hours. (My oven runs hot). When they were completely dried (they’ll turn golden), I broke them up with my hands, and then reduced them to a powder with my immersion blender. I store them in a mason jar with a tight lid. I’m on a fixed income, so I have to improvise everywhere I can.

Is that normal?

    Reply

    • I made this bread today. Did not have the egg protein powder so separated 3 of the whites and beat them till stiff, then folded into the rest of the batter. The bread raised nicely but I too had a grayish color on the bottom half of the bread. Seems odd -there is a distinct division in color…..bottom half of the loaf gray, top half tan. Tastes fine, just looks strange !

  47. Hi Elana!

    Tomorrow I plan on making the Keto bread. One question I have is will the recipe change if I use
    4 large eggs, and the other 4 eggs using eggs whites, ( 3 tab to one egg) total 12 tab. My hubby thought the reason is that the yoke makes it more fluffy. Just wanted to check if 4 whole eggs would create that fluffiness without the other 4 eggs in shell.

  53. I made this last night and loved the fluffy texture. I also did not have any egg white protein but it cooked fine. I did not wait the two hours to remove from pan (no patients) so it was a little crumbly.
    My only problem was the acid taste. any thoughts on that?

    Reply

  54. I really like this recipe! The loaf didn’t fall like most other recipes I’ve tried (from other websites) and it tastes great. Very easy recipe – it actually wouldn’t fit in my food processor so I mixed it up gently in my stand mixer and it worked just fine. It also didn’t spill over in the oven, so no worries there either. To be perfectly honest I also used all egg whites and that also worked just fine (I used egg whites from a carton). By the way, Costco is now carrying Blue Diamond almond flour in 3 pound bags. This was my first time using it and I’m very pleased with the quality of the flour. A fantastic bread recipe!!!

    Reply

  55. Some sort of stratification occurs with this recipe. You can see it in your own photo – that grayish band at the bottom. It was more pronounced in the loaf we made. Not terribly troubling; just odd.

    The problem we ran into was baker’s ammonia, and it’s not clear how to work around that, as there’s no acid-base step in the process.

    Some other LC cooks are experimenting with using yeast, just enough of some net carb to feed the yeasties, and slow raising – but that would be a different recipe I suppose.

    • Bob, thanks for your comment! I’m using cream of tartar in this recipe as the acid that activates the baking soda :-)

      • I ended up making it using all of the eggs, only I reserved 2 of the whites & beat those separate, then folded them into the dough. The bread turned out good! From the pics I don’t think it’s as fluffy as yours, but in a pinch I think folding in the egg whites worked just fine. I am going to be buying some egg white protein powder soon & will make it again :)
        Thanks for all the WONDERFUL recipes!

        • I did 3 egg whites I did not have the powdered egg whites. Mixed the cream of tarter with the whites. Then added the full amount of eggs it called for. It is cooling for two hours in the pan. But it looks good was done in 45 minutes and it raised awesome. Looks like a loaf of bread. I am so excited and thank you for the recipe. I have been three months baking to get to a loaf of bread like this. Thank you again.

        • Lara, Thank you for posting your modification – I made the bread last night using 8 eggs, plus 2 egg whites. My food processor is too small, so I beat the eggs before adding them to the dry ingredients (added with the electric mixer). Because I was in a hurry, I didn’t bother to clean the beaters and just beat two additional egg whites with the mixer – they didn’t get as stiff as they would had I used clean beaters, but I folded them in and the bread turned out great anyway.

          Elana, thank you for another healthy, simple, fail-safe recipe!

          • Laurie, you’re welcome! I’m thrilled to provide you with healthy, simple, fail-safe recipes :-)

  60. Just wanted everyone to know that this bread makes great crackers. I thought the texture of the bread reminded me of melba toast. I wanted something to dip into hummus so I sliced this very thin and cut it in fourths and then laid it on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven. I dried it out completely and it tasted fantastic! So much so that I cut the rest of the loaf and dried it too. My son came home and tasted it when he saw it and loved it. He then proceeded to eat it all with some spinach and artichoke hummus. I plan to make this bread on a regular basic just to make “crackers”. I’m not one to roll out dough so this is a perfectly acceptable substitute. Another big win!

    • Patricia, I’ve turned this bread recipe into so many different yummy things and it’s incredible! I’m so happy that you are enjoying it too, and that the recipe is a big win :-)

  61. Elana,

    I just made this bread today with Trader Joe’s egg white protein powder. It turned out great. My loaf is not quite as fluffy looking as your loaf . . . but it’s light and wonderful. This is the first time I’ve made the Keto bread and it did not disappoint. I’m pleased with all the recipes I’ve tried from your blog. Thank you for helping us find delicious and healthy alternatives to the standard American diet.

    I just made the commitment last week to stick to the Keto diet. This bread will help me get past some of the difficult transition moments. Plus, after just 10 days of changing my eating, I’m feeling better. This is amazing. Thanks again.

  63. I’m allergic to eggs, gluten, corn, oatmeal, rice & dairy. Do you have any bread recipes or substitutions that can be made without eggs?

    Reply

    • I too am allergic to corn plus lots of other things. I have found a product named “simple mills” they offer a variety of baking products. The artesian bread ingredients are, almond flour arrow route flax meal tapioca sea salt and baking soda. very tasty products.

      • June, thanks for your comment. I’ve heard good things about this company, but want to mention that although the products are gluten-free they are not low-carb :-)

  64. I found that egg white powder of quite expensive – is it possible to replace it with unflavored/unsweetened whey powder?

    Reply

    • Kalyn, thanks for your comment. I’ve linked to a non-organic egg white protein powder that is more reasonably priced. I haven’t made this with whey powder so not sure if that would work :-)

      Reply

    • I just replaced the egg white protein powder with 3 egg whites (liquid form so 6 tablespoons) and it worked great! I’m in Canada and couldn’t find the protein powder so this was an easy replacement. Very fluffy and tasty!

    • Janet, I looked this up myself. First, it appears that the only ingredient with carbs is the almond flour itself, with 6 g total per 1/4 cup, and 3 of those g are fiber. So for the whole recipe, it is 48g total carbs, 24 from fiber (don’t know if you count fiber in your carbs or not). Just use that number and divide by how many slices you get out of the bread (slice it first, or estimate from mid point and quarter point of loaf, taking into account that end slices and middle slices might vary a little). If you get around 10 slices out of it, thats only 4.8 g total per slice, half of that if not counting fiber.

  66. Elana,

    I can’t thank you enough for your website and your recipes! My husband was diagnosed about a year ago with gastroparesis and SIBO. He has had diabetes for about 20 years. He’s never been overweight just bad genes.

    He struggled for about 5 years and lost about 25 pounds until we pushed doctors to find an answer. I have found that unless that someone has really struggled with health issues, they seldom make a real effort.

    It’s been a delight to find your website. I’ve found that gluten-free has helped a great deal. Your recipes look wonderful. I can’t wait to try them. I’m also looking forward to trying your Passover recipes.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Susan

    • susan, thanks so much for sharing the health journey that you and your husband have been on. I’m so sorry it’s been a challenge, but am glad that it brought you to me and that we met here :-)

    • Elana,

      Thank you so much for your healthy and wonderful recipes. You are a true inspiration and I greatly admire your drive, determination and creativity especially in light of your own very challenging health journey. I have never posted any comments online, but I felt compelled to respond to Susan’s comment regarding SIBO and her husband’s health challenges, just to say that my husband also suffered from SIBO and other (similar) issues for over 10 years before we found an MD in Arizona named Dr. Nemechek (Nemechek Consultative Medicine). WIth some very simple steps, my husband went from being restricted to an extremely limited FODMAP diet to a completely normal diet in a matter of weeks. I strongly encourage you to seek his advice – it has been life changing for both of us. Neither of us now have any specific dietary limitations, but I follow a very low carb diet and this is how I came across Elana’s wonderful website 3 years ago – and even at that time, still on his restricted diet, my husband was able to digest the terrific cookies and other sweet treats created by Elana. Now, I continue to rely on these recipes simply because they are so nutritionally valid and tasty. I made this wonderful bread a few days ago and have enjoyed it toasted, with eggs and even this morning as a splurge, as French Toast – something I have greatly missed. Thank you again, Elana, and good luck Susan to your husband – hoping my suggestion can be of some help.

  67. This is the first time I have purchased egg white protein powder. Should it be stored in the pantry or refrigerator?

    Reply

  68. My egg powder arrived today (the NOW brand) and I was just able to cut into this bread. I didn’t realize it needed to stay in the pan for two hours. It looks just like your picture. I had a 10×4 pan which is basically the same size as a 9×5. It came out perfect. I have a Norpro pan and it fell right out after the two hours. I didn’t try it plain but immediately toasted it. With butter and jam, it was delicious! I love the simplicity of it. The hardest part was cracking all the eggs. I love using my food processor as I don’t have a stand mixer and it is hard to get the batter out of my high speed blender. I definitely plan to make this again. My grandson got excited when I mentioned bread (we never have any in our house) and he loved it toasted with jam as well. I am looking forward to enjoying some with my homemade almond butter.

    Reply

  69. I made this today and followed the exact recipe. It turned out a little shorter than I expected, but I realize that it’s probably because my 9×5 doesn’t taper outward from bottom to top as yours seems to, given the shape in the photo. That’s okay! It turned out great and a lot lighter than I thought it would be! Thanks, Elana!

  70. I love the recipes you share and I am so appreciative of you introducing me to Almond Flour. I’ve tried so many different blends but nothing compares with it, well, to my taste buds anyway!! I now have two of your books which I love, they are looking a bit worn out though as I use them nearly every day😊
    I’m about to try your Keto Bread recipe and the hold up before this was that I couldn’t find egg white protein powder, so I did a bit of research & made my own, it’s really quite easy & much cheaper than buying away. Thankyou again Elana for sharing and helping us live a less excluded.

    • Sherri, you may want to double check that you are using one of the recommended protein powders that I link to in this recipe :-)

      Reply

  72. Has anyone tried substituting wet egg whites for the protein powder, for example, Organic Valley’s certified organic product? Does anyone have any idea of how much wet product to use to replace 2 tbp of powder? Baking time would need to be a bit longer, or perhaps adding a tsp of coconut flour would absorb the extra moisture.

    Reply

    • Iris, I’m not sure if that would work given that it will throw off the dry to wet ratio. If you do experiment, please let us know if this works :-)

  78. Your recipes are my go-to ones for breads, pastries and cakes, so was extremely excited to try this! However, when I made it following your recipe exactly, I didn’t get a batter at all – I got a huge sticky lump of dough which turned into leaden bread. Are you sure that the measurements for this are right? Or should it read 2 cups of almond flour?

    Reply

    • Olivia, thanks for your comment! I’ve made this dozens of times and the measurements are correct. Others are letting me know that this recipe is perfect. You may want to double check that you are using the recommended ingredients and brands with the proper measurements :-)

      • Thank you so much for getting back to me. I am in the UK and cannot source the exact ingredients, so was using the closest I can get, which have worked in your other recipes. I think that maybe this one is not one to mess around with too much, and that I’ll stick to your Paleo Bread or Simple Sandwich bread instead, which I know work beautifully for me using the ingredients I can get hold of.

  79. love honeyville almond flour, but can only mail order it. Will Bob’s Red Mill super fine almond flour (blanched) work? –in this and your other recipes that call for almond flour?

    Reply

      • I have a qualifier on this: Bob’s Red Mill used to have one ground almond product they called ‘flour’. I have used it in a pinch, but it must be sifted, and you wind up with up to two tablespoons of unusable product per cup. They now have two products: almond meal/flour (which is the same as the old stuff), and superfine almond flour. I have been using the superfine for a couple months, and it works just like the Honeyville. I actually just finished a batch of your Samoas with the BRM superfine, and they came out perfect. I may be more forgiving and not hitting your level of perfection, but it could be worth trying the new product.

        Reply

      • Trader Joe’s now carries its own brand of almond flour.
        Have you tested it yet, Elana? It’s such a reasonable price!
        Thanks!

    • I have not tried this recipe yet but Bob’s red mill SUPER FIRE works in the other almond flour recipes for me. There almond flour use to not work but now that they came out with the SUPER fine I have no problems and can get 3lbs for $12 at my local Sam’s club! So I say give it a try! :) Thanks Elena your site and your recipes are my absolute favorite!!! I have all your cookbooks and they are wonderful! I truly appreciate you! :)

    At least you won’t be out so much $$$ just to find out if you like the bread. Then you can opt for premium egg white protein if you want.

    Reply

  81. Elena, you are my go to for all things bread. I would love to try this recipe but with Celiac disease I’m reticent to try even the organic egg white powder you use. In perusing my gluten-free options I’ve noticed that the D&D brand you use is highly concentrated, to get that quantity of protein you would have to double to quadruple the amount of any other brand. So for all those concerned about price this is a different product; I know it’s expensive but I think that’s the key besides just being organic.
    Now hmmm, possible gluten exposure or non-organic and double plus the addition to the recipe???

  85. For anyone searching for a carb count: the only ingredient that even has carbs in the recipe would be the almond flour. I calculated it to be about 2 grams carbohydrates per slice (16-slice loaf).

    Reply

    • Oops, I miscalculated. I had based my count on a different brand of almond flour that I have used because I couldn’t find the nutrition info for the brand here but in the meantime I unearthed that information. It’s actually 6 carbs total (3 net carbs) per slice. So sorry!
