Let’s Talk Ingredients

With French toast with keto bread, it is the bread that will make or break you.

I’ve tested this keto French toast recipe with at least five different kinds of bread. Some keto breads soak up the custard beautifully and hold their shape. Others? They fall apart halfway through flipping or have a cardboard-like texture. Sola is my favorite store-bought brand. I get it at Whole Foods or Walmart.

I’ve found that slightly stale keto bread French toast actually works better than super-fresh slices. If your bread feels very soft, let it sit out for a bit before soaking.

The combo of heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk is intentional. I tested this with all almond milk once, and it was fine, but not lush. All cream was a little too rich and almost dense.

Step-by-Step Instructions

A metal whisk in a red bowl containing a creamy mixture with visible black pepper sprinkled on top. — In a large bowl, whisk the wet ingredients and cinnamon.

Six slices of bread are soaking in a shallow dish filled with a speckled, creamy liquid, preparing to be made into French toast. The mixture contains visible spices and seasonings. — Arrange low carb bread in a shallow dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Soak 5 minutes. Flip and soak 5 minutes more.

A pat of butter melting in a black skillet, with the butter partially liquefied and starting to spread across the pan. — Melt butter in a large skillet.

Two slices of bread are being toasted in a black skillet with melted butter, showing a golden-brown color and small bubbles forming around the bread on the pan’s surface. — Add two slices.

Two slices of French toast are cooking in a blue cast iron skillet, sizzling in melted butter. The bread is golden brown and crispy around the edges. — Cook until golden brown. Keep warm while cooking the remaining slices.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Keto French Toast

Control the soak time. Thinner slices need less time, or your keto French toast recipe can turn mushy in the center.
Cook over medium, not high heat. Low-carb French toast browns quickly. Too much heat leaves the outside dark and the inside undercooked.
Make sure that the first side is set before you try flipping. Moving it too early is the main reason slices tear apart.

A stack of golden-brown French toast topped with sliced strawberries, mint leaves, powdered sugar, and syrup sits on a white plate—an indulgence that contrasts the savory flavors of a keto Big Mac bowl. Raspberries and a red napkin complete the scene.
