Keto French Toast
Description
Keto French Toast starts by preparing a quick batter using coconut flour, butter, vanilla extract, stevia glycerite, milk, egg, and baking powder. This batter is microwaved in a small container to form a set "bread" slab that is then cooled. To make the French toast, the bread is dipped into a mixture of egg and milk, then fried slowly in butter over medium-low heat until it develops an even golden crust. Pressing the bread gently with a spatula ensures full contact with the pan for consistent browning. This toast offers a firm but tender texture, combining subtle sweetness and cinnamon flavor, suitable for a keto-friendly breakfast or snack. The recipe enables controlled sweetness by adding stevia to the bread or omitting it if serving with syrup.
The toast can be sliced into triangles and served warm with toppings of choice. It holds well for reheating and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen for up to three months, making it convenient for meal prep or batch cooking.
For best results, cook the bread patiently on medium-low heat and avoid high temperatures to prevent uneven browning. Gently pressing the slice helps to cook it evenly and develop a uniform crust. The optional use of sweetener can be adjusted depending on your desired final sweetness.
Ingredients
For Making the Bread:
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon stevia glycerite (equals 1 tablespoon of sugar)
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream, whole
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour (½ ounce, 14 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder gluten-free if needed
For Frying the Bread:
- 1 egg large
- 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream, whole
- 1 tablespoon butter for frying, unsalted
Instructions
Make the Bread:
- Place the butter in a glass sandwich-size container. Microwave until melted, about 50 seconds.
- Mix in the vanilla, stevia, milk, and egg. Whisk until smooth.
- Mix in the coconut flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Use a small rubber spatula to spread the batter evenly in the container.
- Microwave uncovered for 90 seconds until set.
- Remove the bread from the container to a cutting board, bottom side up, and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Fry the bread:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of whole milk.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Dip both sides of the bread in the egg/milk mixture. When the butter begins to foam, place the soaked bread in the pan. Cook over medium-low heat (not higher) until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side, pressing on the middle of the bread with a spatula to ensure contact with the pan.
- Cut the toast into two triangles and serve.
- The toast is excellent as is, but you can drizzle it with sugar-free syrup and dust it with sugar-free confectioners' powder if you wish.
Notes
- Cook the bread slices slowly over medium-low heat to ensure even browning and prevent burning on the edges.
- Press on the middle of the bread with a spatula while frying for consistent contact with the pan and good crust formation.
- The sweetener is optional; omit if serving with syrup or other sweet toppings.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat covered in the microwave at half power.
- Freeze individual slices in freezer bags for up to three months for make-ahead convenience.
