Enjoy scrumptious keto French toast made from scratch in just 10 minutes! This low carb French toast is perfect for a leisurely sugar free breakfast or brunch.
Table of contents
During the week, I like to keep my breakfast simple. Sometimes it's just a cup of coffee and sometimes I may add a quick bowl of low carb porridge or this granola with yoghurt.
But weekends are different. We take our time in the mornings and then have a proper treat. Have you tried my keto pancake recipes? These almond flour pancakes are amazing (just read the reader comments!!) and my coconut flour pancakes are out of this world fluffy.
But now I have a new passion: easy keto French toast! You'll be pleased to hear that this recipe is not only crazy delicious, but also SO SIMPLE. Because we're using my 90 second keto bread! You make it in the microwave in, you guessed it, 90 seconds flat.
The bread is super soft and has large air pockets, which soak up the egg mixture like a dream!
Carbs in French toast
Regular homemade French toast is a double whammy in terms of carbs. First, there's the carbs from the wheat bread, plus the sugar required to make the toast taste sweet and yum. One portion can easily contain 36g of carbs.
My low carb keto microwave bread uses almond flour instead of wheat. Almond flour is incredibly nutritious and low in carbs. Read more about the benefits of almond flour here.
And of course, we're using sugar free sweetener instead of table sugar. This way, we're reducing the net carbs in this low carb French toast recipe to just 4.7g net carbs!
And let me tell you, the portion size is GENEROUS.
How to make keto French toast
First, make a thick slice of my 90 second keto bread. A 5 x 5 inch container works well for this.
This gluten free bread contains almond flour, psyllium husk powder, egg white, baking powder and water. That's it!
Note - I decided to double the ingredients in the original recipe to get an extra thick slice of keto bread. The microwave time remains the same - 90 seconds.
Now stir together the egg mixture - one whisked egg and almond milk. Dunk the bread into the mix so it's coated everywhere.
After that, sprinkle it all over with brown erythritol (I like Lakanto Golden, Sukrin Gold or SoNourished) and cinnamon...
...and fry it in a skillet or non stick frying pan with butter. Be sure to keep the heat low to avoid burning!
How to serve low carb French toast
Here are some ideas how you could enjoy your keto low carb French toast:
- dust with powdered sweetener
- pour over sugar free syrup (I like the Lakanto sugar free maple syrup)
- add a knob of butter or heavy whipping cream
- top with ¼ cup of berries - blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or strawberries
- douse in keto caramel sauce
- sprinkle over more golden erythritol and cinnamon
- add slivered almonds or other nuts!
90 second French toast variations
So many possibilities! How about cutting your toast slice into sticks before frying and make keto French toast sticks? That way you would get more sweet and crunchy edges. (My plan for next time!)
Serving a larger crowd? Quadruple the bread recipe and make a keto French toast loaf bake! Slice the bread and butter it. Place in an oven proof dish and pour over the egg mix. Then bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes at 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit until the egg is set and the top is browned.
If you don't have a square toast-sized container, you can also make the 2 batches of 90 second keto bread in 2 ramekins or mugs. Then slice each in half and continue, making smaller keto french toast.
Recipe tweaks
On a nut free diet? You can replace the almond flour in the toast with 2 tablespoon coconut flour.
The egg mix can be made richer by replacing the unsweetened almond milk with double / heavy cream.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
For a different flavour, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom.

Low Carb Keto French Toast

Ingredients
- 2 batches 90 Second Keto Bread
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoon almond milk
- 1 tablespoon golden erythritol
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Make the 90 second keto bread, but double the ingredients to make the bread thicker. For this recipe I used a 14 x 12 x 5 cm microwaveable container. Simply stir together all ingredients and microwave for 90 seconds on high.
- Prepare the egg mix. In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs and almond milk with a fork. Option to add orange zest too.
- Once the keto bread is cooled, soak in the egg mix. Mix the cinnamon and erythritol in a small bowl and sprinkle over both sides of the soaked bread.
- Melt the butter in a skillet / not stick frying pan over a medium / low heat. Fry until golden brown (about 1 - 2 minutes on each side). Keep checking it so the cinnamon doesn’t burn.
- Slice into triangles and serve with toppings of your choice.

Hi Katrin, I'm a little rough on the math...
So you're doubling the regular bread recipe for thicker French toast.
Then quadrupling the doubled recipe for a larger group?
You mention a 'loaf'... What do you cook it in? And still microwaved?
We all eat very low carb and this would be a fantastic brunch addition!!
Katrin Nürnberger
Yes, I would just figure out how many people you're cooking for. Then scale up the recipe to that number. When quadrupling the French toast recipe, I would probably bake it in a parchment lined casserole dish. (Unless you simply microwave the slices separately). If baking, I would go for 180C/350F electric or 160C/320F fan assisted and start with 25-30 minutes. Place aluminium foil over the top if it gets too brown during baking and check with a toothpick or skewer whether it's done. After that, you can cut it, layer it so the slices overlap a little and then proceed with the egg wash and the rest of the recipe.

Sorry to be so long to acknowledge. (New grandbaby arrived... so exciting!)
This is great information, THANK YOU so much.
Casserole dish is a great idea; I was over complicating things, lol.
This will be great to do for our new, larger family!
Always appreciate your recipes and ideas.

Congrats on the grandbaby!

I’ve been making you 90 sec bread for a few weeks now & love. Last night it was a bun for my burger. Keep them recipes coming. Great job!
Katrin Nürnberger
What a great idea to turn it into a burger bun! Glad you're enjoying the 90 second bread recipe.

Forgot to ask. Can the ‘bread’ slices be frozen. Going to make a batch to freeze and also make some in ramekins so we can have ‘egg mcmuffins’, another hurdle to overcome. You’re brilliant!
Katrin Nürnberger
Yes, you can absolutely freeze the bread! And a great idea to make it in ramekins for muffins!
Debra
Hi there. I just made these this morning. I agree, they’re fabulous! It passed the ‘husband’ test. Trying to move him into LC eating has been a challenge, and traditional pancakes are one of his favourites, so I just stopped making them. But no more!! He REALLY liked them. I couldn’t believe it so kept asking him if they were okay. He liked that they were ‘nice and light’ and didn’t even miss the ‘real’ maple syrup! What? I made a blueberry coulis adding a bit of yogurt to it and he ‘loved it! Not only that, he said they were so filling, that one piece of ‘bread’ would probably be enough. The kitchen staff was happy - LOL! Still in shock. THANK YOU!
Susan van Nieker
Hi Katrin,
I have not made this yet, but you have quite a few recipes that look so good and I want to make. My question is where do you get the sweetner from in the UK? I clicked on your link, but it took me to a US site.
Thanks in advance, Susan.
Katrin Nürnberger

I also particularly love your very fudgy brownies. YUM YUM .
Katrin Nürnberger
