Directions

1. Prepare the Keto Bread

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 5×10-inch loaf pan with oil, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and erythritol. Stir everything together until fully combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the bread is golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing it.

2. Prepare the French Toast Mixture

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon. This mixture will be used to soak the bread slices.

3. Coat the Bread Slices

Slice the cooled keto bread into thick slices (about 1-inch thick). Dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.

4. Cook the French Toast

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, add the soaked bread slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet. Sprinkle with erythritol powder, fresh berries, or serve with sugar-free syrup for an extra treat. Enjoy your delicious, low-carb French toast!
