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.

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. 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.

    Reply

  2. 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…

    Reply

    • Guess I should have added an egg. Very dense and very almondy taste. Would have preferred a more eggy taste. I think knowing what the batter should look like would help. Wish I’d followed my instinct and added an egg.

    • Pam, thanks for your comments! Yes, this is a stiff thick batter that yields a dense yet fluffy bread :-)

  5. 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.

  8. Can you tell me the purpose of the egg white powder. I’ve purchased it and would like to try it in other recipes. Is it to improve texture? Rise? A sub for some other ingredient? I can’t seem to tell from the recipes where you use it. Why did you ever try it?

  13. 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!

  15. 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?

    I love your Keto Bread recipe, its just absolutely amazing!

    I would also love to feature it in our website, Greenthickies. Would it be okay?

    • Leslie, I haven’t made this particular bread recipe at sea level but have tried many of my others and they did not need any adjustments :-)

      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:

  22. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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

  27. 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.

  28. I made this last night. It cooked well even though I forgot to put a pan under it. It smelled good. I tasted it before I went to bed and it was ok, was thinking I would try it as toast with butter or French toast but… when I looked at it this morning there’s a weird grey discoloration all around the bottom and edges. 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 !

  37. 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. Recently made your “Scrumptious Sandwich Bread, Orange Apricot Scones, Pecan Shortbread Cookies, & other great recipes! Thank you for gifting us with U !!!

    Reply

  43. 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

  44. 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

  45. 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.

    Reply

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

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.

          Reply

        • 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 :-)

  50. 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!

    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.

      Reply

    • 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.

  56. 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.

    • 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.

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.

  59. 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!

  60. 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 :-)

  62. 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 :-)

  65. Elana, I have purchased your cookbooks, and love your recipes. I bake for my daughter who is grain free, dairy free, and egg free. I bake bread for her a lot. I would like your recommendation for a bread machine.

    • Kay, I haven’t ever baked bread in a bread machine so not sure which one to recommend to you. I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying my books!

  66. I am sensitive to eggs what can I use in place of the eggs and egg protein powder in the keto bread? or in any of recipes that call for eggs.

    Reply

  67. I just bought egg white protein powder at Trader Joe’s, 8 oz for a little under $10 if anyone wants to try this recipe and not spend a lot . Can’t wait to try it!

    Reply

    • Margaret, thanks so much! I hope you’ll let us know if that brand of egg white protein works in this recipe since I haven’t tried it :-)

  68. 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.

  69. 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.

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

        Reply

    • 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! :)

  70. Anyone wanting a cheaper/smaller package look here – amazon.com/White-Paleo-Protein-Powder-Bulksupplements

    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.

  71. 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???

  72. I do not have egg white protein powder, but I do have Jay Robb’s Whey Protein Isolate. Do you think that would substitute well?

    Reply

    • Marilyn, thanks for your comment! I tested this recipe several dozen times with the ingredients above to get it just right. I haven’t tried making this bread with whey protein powder so not sure if it would turn out well. If you do experiment please let us know if it works!

  73. Hi Elana, I love you recipes. Especially your muffins. Banana & blueberry; Mini blueberry; Lemon muffins turn out awesome all the time.

    Do you have any problems baking in a glass pyrex dish ? Any sticking occurring ?

    Look forward to you reply !

      • I can’t wait to try this recipe. I’ve been making your banana, pumpkin and corn bread recipes using coconut oil to grease the glass pan with a square of parchment paper in the bottom of the Pyrex dish. Works like a charm.

        Elana, thanks for all the amazing, easy to make recipes. I don’t worry anymore about trying new recipes and throwing inedible results in the trash. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

  75. 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!

  76. I live at 6800′ elevation and am wondering if I would need to adjust ingredients , baking temperature, etc. for the altitude?

  78. Can you list all the other recipes that use the egg protein powder, so we have more than just 1 recipe to use it for ? Thanks, makes purchasing it more reasonable.

  79. One more reason why I love your work!!! Not only do you keep your posts short and sweet and effficient, your recipes super simple and straight forward, now you’ve gone and managed tall fluffy 6 ingredient keto bread!! You really are the best. I was just reminiscing the time I got your first gluten free cupcake book from amazon like 5 years ago. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us!!! Xo Kirbi

  81. I can hardly wait to try this. I have used egg-white protein before and like it for my morning protein shakes.

    Reply

  83. I realize its organic, unadulterated egg protein powder but its $65!! Is there any substitute for this ingredient? do they have sample sizes? I’ve purchased large quantities of supplements and items like this in the past without testing or sampling them first and have often been disappointed..

    Reply

  84. Sounds like a great recipe. I have been looking for a bread recipe for my mother who is diabetic. How many carbs in a slice of this bread? Thanks in advance. Love your site!

    Reply

    • Kathryn, thanks for your comment! The egg white protein powder makes this bread very fluffy and I don’t think it will be very good without it. Perhaps you’d like to try my Low-Carb Cornbread recipe which does not contain egg white protein powder. Here’s the link for you:
