A soft, rich, lightly sweet keto bread made with eggs, cream cheese, butter, and coconut flour. It’s delicious toasted with butter, perfect for BLTs and grilled cheese, and can even be enjoyed with keto berry jam for a sweet treat. 😋
🛒 Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 6 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A few dashes of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (optional)
👩🍳 Detailed Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan well or line it with parchment paper.
2. Soften the cream cheese
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This helps it blend smoothly into the batter without lumps.
3. Beat the eggs
Add the eggs to a large mixing bowl and whisk until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
4. Add the wet ingredients
Add the softened cream cheese, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
5. Add the dry ingredients
Add the coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly.
Let the batter sit for 2–3 minutes. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, so the mixture will naturally thicken.
6. Fill the pan
Pour the thick batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake
Place in the preheated 350°F oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean.
If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil during the final part of baking.
8. Cool completely
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes. Carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack.
Allow it to cool completely before slicing. This helps the bread firm up and makes cleaner slices.
🥪 Ways to Enjoy It
BLT:
Toast two slices and fill with crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
Grilled cheese:
Butter the outside of two slices, add your favorite cheese, and cook in a skillet until golden and melted.
Sweet keto toast:
Toast a slice, spread with butter, and add a small amount of sugar-free raspberry or strawberry jam.
Simple breakfast:
Toast and top with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite low-carb topping.
💡 Important Tip
Because this bread contains coconut flour, don’t substitute it 1:1 with almond flour. Coconut flour absorbs considerably more liquid, so changing the flour can significantly alter the texture.
Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to about 5 days. Toast individual slices when ready to eat.
💪 Is it high protein and keto?
It is low-carb/keto-friendly, assuming your cream cheese and other ingredients fit your carb target. It also contains a good amount of protein from the 8 eggs and cream cheese, although it’s not an especially high-protein food compared with lean-meat or Greek-yogurt recipes.
