Ready in just 20 minutes, this is one of those keto recipes that make you realize there’s no need to ever feel deprived on this diet. Yes, you can enjoy French toast on a low-carb diet! Quickly whip up your bread (you “bake” it in the microwave"), then fry the slices in butter until golden. The result is amazingly good. The bread I use here is a variation on the classic 90-second bread. I adjusted the amounts to make it bigger. I also added stevia, vanilla, cinnamon, and whole milk (but heavy cream is fine too).
Ingredients
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make keto French toast. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Unsalted butter: I especially love the flavor of European butter. But really, any butter is great. Vanilla extract: It’s best to use pure vanilla extract. Sweetener: I use stevia. You can use a granulated sweetener instead. Whole milk: You can use heavy cream instead. Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, this one included. Coconut flour: Try to measure it by weight if you can. It’s super-absorbent so every gram makes a difference. Cinnamon: Make sure it’s fresh. It’s such an important ingredient here, and a stale spice can really ruin a dish. Baking powder: Needless to say, if you need it to be gluten-free, please verify that it is.
Instructions
Making this keto French toast is not difficult at all, though it does require two steps - making the bread, then frying it. Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps: Start by making the bread. You basically mix the bread ingredients in the order listed, in a square glass container. Then microwave the mixture for 90 seconds. Allow it to slightly cool. Dip the bread in a mixture of egg and milk (or cream). Fry the slices in butter until golden-brown on both sides.

Variations
I like to make things interesting by using different flavor extracts. Good options include almond extract, coconut extract, and orange extract.
Serving suggestions
While this toast is excellent straight out of the pan, you can also top it with butter, sugar-free syrup, and/or sugar-free confectioners’ sugar. Or you could drizzle it with warmed-up peanut butter. On Instagram, Fran posted this gorgeous photo of her meal, which she has graciously allowed me to post here. She served her toast with avocado and bacon. She says: “Keto French Toast with crispy bacon and avocado! Best Holiday Brunch ever!”
Storing leftovers
You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the microwave, covered, on 50% power. You can also freeze the slices in individual freezer bags for up to three months.
