Easy Keto Bread Recipe

Keto doesn’t mean you have to give up bread, although it’s a pretty common concern. There are tons of keto bread recipes out there so you’ll have plenty of recipes to choose from, but we have taste tested ours with lots of people so we are confident it’ll be your favorite (or among your favorites) if you give it a try.

Our keto loaf recipe uses high-fiber almond flour, eggs, butter, and coconut oil. This gluten-free bread is soft and fluffy and will satisfy your craving for bread with minimal carbs. 

You can slice it and enjoy it warm right out of the oven. Or you can toast it or pan-fry it in some butter for breakfast. It’s perfect for making sandwiches (try it with our Chicken Salad or Tuna Salad!), or served alongside a scramble, like Tim Tebow’s Avocado Breakfast Scramble.

4 Featured Ingredients With Great Health Benefits: 

1. Almond flour: If you’re not familiar with almond flour, it’s basically blanched almonds that are ground and sifted into a fine flour. This nutrient-dense ingredient contains 14g fat, 6g protein, 5.6g carbs, and 3g fiber in a one-ounce serving. It’s also a good source of vitamin E, manganese, magnesium,  copper, and phosphorus [1]. 
2. Coconut oil: This healthy fat is a good source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). The body metabolizes MCTs faster than long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). Faster metabolism means faster energy to the body and brain [2]. MCTs are linked to improved energy, weight loss, and mental focus. Coconut oil is popular among keto dieters because it supports ketone production. More ketones in the body helps you achieve and maintain ketosis, which is when your body goes from carb-burning mode to fat-burning mode.
3. Eggs: This superfood is rich in nutrients and is one of the best foods you can eat. It’s a great source of vitamins and minerals, plus protein and fat. Eggs contain many vitamins, including A, B6, B12, D, E, and K plus minerals such as selenium, zinc, iron, and copper. They’re considered a “complete protein” because they contain all nine essential amino acids [3]. 
4. Butter: Besides making everything taste better, butter provides a variety of important nutrients. It contains vitamins A, B12, E, and K. Vitamin A is linked to skin health and immune function, as well as vision health [4]. Vitamin E is beneficial to your heart and has antioxidant properties [5]. Butter is also an excellent source of CLA, which stands for conjugated linoleic acid. CLA is a type of fat found in meat and dairy products and has been shown to support weight loss, reduce the risk of some cancers, and minimize inflammation [6][7][8].
