Keto French Toast - Healthy Recipes Blog (2024)

You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this recipe. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

• Unsalted butter: I especially love the flavor of European butter.
• Vanilla extract: It's best to use pure vanilla extract.
• Sweetener: I use stevia glycerite.
• Whole milk: You can use heavy cream instead.
• Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, this one included.
• Coconut flour: Try to measure it by weight if you can. It's super-absorbent, so every gram makes a difference.
• Cinnamon: Make sure it's fresh. It's an important ingredient, and a stale spice can ruin a dish.
• Baking powder: Gluten-free if needed. And please make sure it's fresh.

This recipe has two steps - making the bread and then frying it. Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps:

Mix the bread ingredients in the order listed in a square glass container. Then, microwave the mixture for 90 seconds. Allow it to slightly cool.

Dip the bread in a mixture of egg and milk (or cream).

Cook the bread slices in butter until golden brown on both sides.

Cut the bread in half, dust it with a powdered sweetener if desired, top it with butter, and serve.

Look at its perfect texture!

Expert Tips

1. Use a square glass container to "bake" the bread. I use a square 6-inch glass food storage container to make the keto bread. It gives me the perfect shape and size.
2. Cook the bread slices patiently over medium-low heat. This will ensure even cooking. You should also gently press on the middle of the bread with a spatula. Otherwise, the bread tends to brown on the edges rather than all over.
3. The sweetener is optional. If you plan on serving this toast with syrup, there's no need to sweeten the bread itself. I usually sweeten it with a touch of stevia because I don't use syrup.

Is this a make-ahead recipe?

It can be. While it's best when served fresh, you can make a few of these toasts, allow them to cool, then freeze them in individual freezer bags (or in one freezer bag, separated with wax paper squares). You can then gently thaw a slice each morning in the microwave at 50% power.

Serving Suggestions

While this toast is excellent straight out of the pan, you can also top it with butter, sugar-free syrup, and/or sugar-free confectioners' sugar. Or you could drizzle it with warmed-up peanut butter or keto hazelnut spread.

This toast can be a breakfast on its own or serve as part of a more elaborate breakfast. I sometimes serve it with fluffy scrambled eggs or poached eggs and berries.
