One of the biggest adjustments on keto is giving up traditional baked goods. The good news: keto baking has come a long way, and today’s recipes are genuinely delicious.
Almond flour and coconut flour are the two main replacements for wheat flour. Almond flour is more similar in texture; coconut flour is more absorbent and requires less per recipe.
Keto baked goods often need extra binding. Eggs, psyllium husk, and xanthan gum help achieve the right texture and structure.
Erythritol, xylitol, stevia, and monk fruit are the main keto-friendly sweeteners. They do not spike blood sugar and work well in baked goods.
A simple almond flour and egg-based loaf can be baked in 30 minutes. Top with butter, cream cheese, or sugar-free jam.
