How to Make Keto Bread with Almond Flour
This loaf bakes in a standard 9 x 5 inch pan and reaches a height similar to store-bought bread. The texture is tender and slightly airy thanks to the egg white protein powder.
You only need almond flour, eggs, egg white protein powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

Egg white protein powder helps give this loaf lift and a light crumb. If you don’t have it, you can experiment with another neutral protein powder or additional egg whites, though results may vary.
Keto Bread with Almond Flour
Ingredients
- 4 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
- 2 tablespoons egg white protein powder
- 2½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 large eggs
Instructions
-
In a food processor or large bowl, combine the almond flour, egg white protein powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Pulse or whisk until evenly mixed.
-
Add the eggs and process or beat until the batter is smooth and uniform.
-
Transfer the batter to a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the loaf to cool for about 2 hours before removing it from the pan; this helps the texture set and makes slicing easier.
-
Slice and serve. Toasting improves the flavor and texture.
Equipment
How To Bake Low Carb Keto Bread
Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet before putting it in the oven. The batter yields a tall loaf; using a sheet beneath the pan protects your oven in case the loaf expands more than expected.
How To Store Keto Bread
After baking, let the loaf cool completely—preferably overnight. Wrap it in a paper towel and place it in a zipper-top bag. Stored in the refrigerator, it will keep well for up to one week.
I have not tested freezing this loaf, so freezing times are uncertain.
What to Make with Gluten Free Keto Bread
This bread is excellent plain, with a smear of butter or ghee, and especially good when toasted. Use it for sandwiches, avocado toast, or as a base for egg dishes.
