I was a late bloomer when it comes to French toast. I was in my 20’s before I ever ate a slice, and that was one that I’d made myself…really badly. It was weirdly soggy, eggy bread that wasn’t pleasant at all.
So, I never really understood why it was so popular. I mean, I knew that I’d failed spectacularly in my previous efforts but had never really turned my hand to it again. Until now.
Using my 90 second keto bread recipe and a deliciously spiced soak, this low-carb French toast is soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy and golden on the outside. NOW I get it!
I might have moaned a little bit when I bit into the first slice.
I had mine with a simple sugar-free syrup but I’m already imagining other toppings that I can pair with it.
How To Make Nut-Free and Dairy-Free Keto French Toast
If you need to make this recipe nut-free, simply swap the same amount of ground sunflower seeds for the almond flour. If you want to use coconut flour instead, replace the 1/4 cup almond flour with about 2 tablespoons of coconut flour and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.
To make this keto French toast recipe dairy-free, replace the butter with melted ghee (dairy but usually well tolerated) or melted coconut oil, and the cream with coconut cream. Enjoy!

Ingredients (makes 1 serving)
90 second bread:
French soak:
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients for the 90 second bread. It's the same recipe that we used in this Keto Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
- Mix together the 90 second keto bread ingredients: egg, olive oil (or melted butter, ghee or coconut oil), almond flour (or ground sunflower seeds), baking powder, erythritol and cinnamon.
- Place it in a one cup ramekin and microwave for 90 seconds, checking halfway. If still raw in the middle, cook for another 30 seconds.
- Tip out and let cool. Once cooled enough to handle, split in half and cool further.
- Whisk the French soak ingredients together in a shallow dish: egg, cream (or coconut cream), salt and cinnamon. Lay the bread in it to soak the slices of bread for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the bread until golden on each side, approx. 5 minutes.
- Optionally serve dusted with powdered sweetener, with keto ice cream, with sugar-free syrup (such as Lakanto monk fruit syrup) and/or powdered low-carb sweetener, with whipped cream, and/or with bacon.
- Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, reheat in the frying pan.
