Keto Egg Loaf
Keto Egg Loaf is a low-carb bread baked by blending eggs, cream cheese, butter, coconut flour, and spices into a smooth batter. The loaf has a soft, tender crumb with subtle sweetness from granulated sweetener and warm notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. It can be sliced for breakfast or snacks and adapts well to frying for a French toast-style dish.
Ingredients
- 6 egg large, room temperature
- 6 oz / 170g cream cheese
- 4 tbsp / 30g coconut flour
- ¼ cup / 50g butter melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sweetener or more, to taste
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F / 175 C electric and line a loaf tin with parchment paper.
- Mix the eggs, cream cheese, melted butter and erythritol in a food processor or high speed blender until frothy. Alternatively, use a tall mixing jug and a handheld electric blender.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blitz briefly until combined.
- Pour the mix into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Tip: Check the keto egg loaf after 25 minutes. Once it is golden on top, cover it loosely with a sheet of aluminium paper to prevent excessive browning.
Notes
- The loaf makes ten slices with about 1.3g net carbs each, suitable for keto diets.
- Store refrigerated for up to 5 days; freeze for up to 3 months with parchment paper between slices to avoid sticking.
- Frying slices in butter creates a texture similar to French toast.
- Using a smaller loaf pan yields a taller shape and less sinking; whipping egg whites separately can improve structure and prevent the center from sinking.
