4 Ingredient Keto Egg Loaf

This keto egg loaf is about as close to heaven as you can get with a low-carb bread that tastes delicious. It requires just four ingredients that you pour into a blender, then into a baking tin and bake. This keto egg loaf recipe is now in heavy rotation and is perfect for my keto diet.

4 Ingredient Keto Egg Loaf

As mentioned, you need only four ingredients to make this egg loaf, which is one of the easiest keto recipes. Those ingredients are:

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 8 ounces butter
• 8 large whole eggs
• 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) sweetener

Directions

Start by preheating your oven to 350 F and add all your ingredients into a blender. Once blended, add them to your bread pan.

I used a 8×4 loaf pan, also know as a 1.5 quart pan. In this instance, I used avocado oil spray to grease the pan. You can buy this avocado oil online or at Costco. Alternately, you could line the pan with parchment paper.

Bake for 30-40 minutes. You can see how much the egg loaf rose while baking.

However, as it cooled, it fell a little like a souffle might.

Once the bread had fully cooled, I was able to slice and enjoy. It has a dense, creamy texture. It’s more like an overbaked custard or flan. Because it uses so many eggs, it has a decent amount of protein. Each slice has 7 grams of protein. As far as carbs go, the total carbs per slice and the net carbs per slice is the same — 9 grams.

This is not bread, because it doesn’t use any flour, not even my favorite low carb flours like coconut flour, lupin flour or almond flour. Even so, it’s actually the perfect texture for keto French toast because you don’t have to dunk it in milk and eggs and all the other things you’d normally do to bread for a traditional French toast. You simply take slices of egg loaf and cook them in butter in a frying pan until they are golden brown, then add your sugar-free syrup and toppings for a delicious low carb breakfast dish.

Notes

One of the reasons that I love this recipe is for how easy it is. If you look closely, all four ingredients are listed here in the same quantities — 8! That means if you wanted to make a smaller version, say in a ramekin like a low carb microwave mug cake, you’d simply have to adjust the recipe so the ingredients would be small but even quantities of eight.

Leave your cream cheese out to soften before you blend it. However, if you have a high-powered blender or even a food processor, this will ensure there are no cream cheese clumps left in your egg loaf.

If you’d like, you can try other ingredients in place of the cream cheese and see how it turns out. This would include sour cream, Greek yogurt or even cottage cheese. These last two ingredients would definitely up the grams of protein per serving.
