90 Second Keto Bread French Toast

Pin itFollow us 148.4k

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!

Nutritional values (per serving, 2 slices)

Ingredients (makes 1 serving)

90 second bread:

• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, ghee or coconut oil (14 g/ 0.5 oz)
• ¹/₄ cup almond flour (25 g/ 0.9 oz)
• ¹/₂ tsp gluten-free baking powder
• 1 tsp Erythritol or Swerve
• ¹/₄ tsp cinnamon

French soak:

• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream or coconut cream (15 ml)
• pinch of sea salt
• ¹/₈ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, ghee or coconut oil for frying (15 ml)
• Optional: dusting of low-carb sweetener and/or sugar-free maple flavored syrup to serve

Instructions

1. Prepare all the ingredients for the 90 second bread. It's the same recipe that we used in this Keto Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
   
2. 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.
   
3. 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.
   
   
4. Tip out and let cool. Once cooled enough to handle, split in half and cool further.
   
   
5. 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.
   
6. Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the bread until golden on each side, approx. 5 minutes.
   
   
7. 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.
   
8. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, reheat in the frying pan.
