Easy Keto Bread Secret Ingredients
Bread made with almond flour, eggs, and flaxseed meal is a healthy and keto-friendly alternative to traditional bread. It is low in carbs, high in protein and fiber, and gluten-free.
Almond flour: Almond flour is made from ground almonds and is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It is also low in carbs and gluten-free.
Eggs: Eggs are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also low in carbs and calories.
Flaxseed meal: Flaxseed meal is made from ground flaxseeds and is a good source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients. It is also low in carbs and gluten-free.
When combined, these ingredients make a bread that is both healthy and keto-friendly. It is also a good source of energy and nutrients, and it can help you to feel full and satisfied after eating.

Extra Healthy Additions
To make this bread even healthier, I decided to add some nuts and seeds to the batter. I used hemp hearts, chia, flax, and pumpkin seeds, but you can use any nuts or seeds you like (or none at all). They add some crunch and extra nutrients to the bread. You can also add some spices or herbs if you want to customize the flavor.
My favorite add-ins include chia seeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and whole flaxseeds. Sometimes I’ll add garlic salt, and some Italian seasonings to make it a nice dinner or sandwich bread. Other times, I’ll add cinnamon and coconut flakes to eat it with butter or nut butter and jam for breakfast. There are so many ways to customize this bread to make it healthier and more interesting, but it’s super delicious without any extras, too!
This easy keto bread is great for breakfast, snack, or even dessert. You can slice it and toast it in a pan with butter, or eat it plain. You can also spread some butter, cream cheese, jam, or nut butter on top. Scroll down below the recipe for a special bonus: How to make my super easy low-carb berry chia seed jam!

Bonus Recipe: Super Easy Homemade Low-Carb Jam
To make the jam, just put any low-carb berries in a pot on the stove: You can use fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or any mixed berries. Cook until they start to release their juices and become soft.
Then turn off the heat and add a bit (maybe a teaspoon) of lemon juice.
Next, stir in one to two tablespoons of whole chia seeds (depending on how many berries you used) and add keto-friendly sweetener (I like to use liquid Stevia) to taste.
Let cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature before putting it in a jar and popping it in the fridge! Enjoy with butter or nut butter on your delicious homemade low-carb bread! Yum!!
