Ingredients

Here is a quick list of what you need. You will probably have most of the ingredients on hand in your kitchen.

  • Almond flour: A great gluten-free and keto-friendly alternative to all-purpose flour.
  • Almond Milk: Can sub for heavy cream or coconut milk.
  • Ground cinnamon: The perfect spice for that classic french toast flavor.
  • Eggs: Helps to bind the ingredients together and add density.
  • Vanilla extract: Use 100% pure for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Granular erythritol: The keto version of granular sugar.
  • Butter and cream cheeseUse full-fat for both and they should be softened so take them out of the fridge an hour or so before you begin cooking.

How to Make Keto French Toast 

For this recipe, we take a traditional egg loaf, cut it into slices, dip it into egg wash, and then a coat it in a sweet “keto breading”.

We then fry the slices in a skillet so the outside gets a nice crunch and the inside is remains soft. Then we top it all off with some walnuts and sugar-free syrup.

The full instructions are detailed in the recipe card at the end of this post.

But we wanted to give you step-by-step instructions, so you know exactly how to make this low-carb french toast.

Step #1. Bake the Egg Loaf

  • A) Separate 8 eggs, placing the yolks in a medium bowl and the egg whites in a large bowl. Whisk the cream cheese, butter, erythritol, vanilla, and cinnamon into the yolks until combined and set aside. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • B) Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites until incorporated. Transfer the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
  • C) Bake the loaf for 40-45 minutes at 350°F until the center no longer jiggles. Lightly cover with foil halfway to prevent the top from browning too much.
  • D) Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool inside the pan for 25 minutes. Then use the sides of the parchment to gently remove the loaf from the pan. Slice the loaf into 8 slices.

Step #2. Coat the Slices

While the egg loaf is cooling, it’s time to start on your coating.

Whisk together an egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk in a shallow dish.

In another shallow dish, stir together almond flour, granular erythritol, and cinnamon.

Step #3. Fry Your French Toast

Heat a skillet to medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.

Place 4 french toast slices in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Set the cooked french toast slides on a large platter. Place the remaining butter in the pan and repeat with the remaining slices.

Step #4. Add Your Toppings

Top with your keto french toast with your pick of keto-friendly toppings.

We like to use walnuts, sugar-free syrup, confectioners erythritol, or berries.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Baking Pan. We recommend using an 8×4 inch loaf pan. Make sure to line it with parchment so that the egg loaf doesn’t stick.
  • Baking times vary. Every oven is different so if the french toast loaf isn’t cooked through after 45 minutes keep baking the loaf checking it every 5 minutes until the center is cooked.
  • Storage. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
