If you want a fast and delicious breakfast that feels decadent, then Keto French Toast is the recipe for you! This is an excellent variation on the popular keto 90-second bread recipe. A few tweaks, and you have a delicious sweet treat for breakfast that everyone in the family will love!
MOUTHWATERING KETO FRENCH TOAST
This morning as I was waking up, I was thinking about different breakfast items that I might be able to make Keto friendly. While I love my keto biscuit recipe, sausage ball puffs, and pancakes, I wanted to try something different today. Then, I remembered my 90 Second Bread Recipe and thought surely I could change it up to make a Keto French Toast.
My hubby usually cooks breakfast on Saturday mornings, so I got in the kitchen with him and started experimenting. I just made one at first as a taste tester to see if it would be good or not. My two-year-old scooted a chair from her little table right up next to the counter and kept asking for more. When she got down, she rubbed her belly and said, “It’s sooooooo good, mom!”
By the time everyone had tasted a bite, I knew I had a hit on my hands, especially when they all asked me to make more, which I happily obliged. If you’d like to make a big batch of Keto French Toast, check out my family-sized recipe here.
HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB FRENCH TOAST
You’ll need to gather the following ingredients for this recipe. The Lakanto sweetener can be subbed for Swerve at the same measurement.
Ingredients:
- Coconut flour
- Butter
- Egg
- Cream cheese
- Baking Powder
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered Sugar
- Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
Keto French Toast Recipe step-by-step pictorial directions. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe and ingredients.
Step 1: Melt butter in a ceramic or glass bowl. (mine was about 6 inches)
Step 2: Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk together until combined.
Step 3: Cook in the microwave for 90 seconds.
Step 4: Remove from the microwave and allow to cool for a minute or two. Cut the keto french toast in half.
Step 5: In a flat dish, add 1 egg and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream and combine with a whisk. Soak bread on both sides in egg and heavy whipping cream mixture.
Step 6: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet and fry each side until crisp.
Step 7: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon Swerve Confectioners’ Sugar on top and serve with sugar-free syrup. Berries are also delicious with this Keto French Toast.
How To Make French Toast Not Soggy?
Soak the bread in the egg mixture for approx 20 seconds, and transfer to a separate sheet so that the bread is not sitting in the mixture. Add butter to the skillet and cook on low heat, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy. To keep the finished french toast warm, turn the oven on to 200 F and place the french toast on a clean baking sheet until ready to serve.
Is It Better To Use Butter or Oil for my French Toast?
You can use either one, but if you are using butter, make sure that your griddle or cast-iron skillet does not get hotter than 375 F causing the butter to burn. Wipe the pan clean after every 2 batches of toast.
How To Store French Toast?
Place the low carb french toast in an airtight container or bag, and refrigerate within the first two hours of cooking for 3-4 days. To freeze, place in a freezer-friendly container and put in the freezer for 2-3 months. To reheat, place french toast in a skillet and cook each side until crispy and warm again.
More topping and cooking tips For Keto French Toast
- If you are looking for sugar-free syrup, I love this Lakanto Maple Syrup.
- You can make a couple of batches at once or bake this Family Sized loaf of Keto bread ahead of time to make it easier to make enough Keto French Toast for the entire family.
- I use a cast-iron skillet to fry the Keto French Toast. If you don’t have one, I have this one and love it.
- Powdered Monkfruit can be used for a fun topping along with berries and Lakanto sugar-free syrup. Feel free to top however you prefer.
Tip for Making Low Carb French Toast
I only included 1 tbsp of the heavy whipping cream in the nutritional information because most of it is left behind. You make more than you need so that you can coat the bread on both sides. Also, the sugar alcohols from Swerve are not included since most subtract to calculate net carbs.

Just made this today and loved it! Definitely satisfied my craving for French toast. Next I will sandwich the two halves filled with sweetened farmer cheese and then dip in egg mixture making it a French toast cheese blintz, served with fresh berries!

I just made the 90 second french toast,, very easy and satisfying … I added a few raspberries too…. delicious
.Kasey says
Awesome!
Ashley says
Is there anything I can substitute for the cream cheese?
Kasey says
I’ve only tested the recipe as is so I’m not sure. You could perhaps leave it out.
Alexia Zaia says
I’ve been after a good keto french toast recipe for SO long because ever since I started i’ve been missing it so much! I came across this recipe last night and made it this morning and it was absolutely delicious! I had to leave out the cream cheese because I didn’t have any on hand, but it still came out perfectly! I also topped it with a few fresh raspberries and my keto whipped cream. So tasty!!! Definitely a recipe I will keep making!
Kasey says
Awesome! So glad you loved it.
Jana Bruce says
Husband and I have been eating keto almost 6 weeks. We’ve found some delicious recipes and a few stinkers along the way, so I was a little apprehensive to make this French toast. Hubby is a devout real maple syrup person, so I wasn’t sure how this would work out. Happy to report that he thought it was pretty tasty! Only had some Aunt Jemima sugar free syrup on hand and even that tasted good! Also, I added about 1/2 tsp vanilla to the egg and HWC mixture as I always add vanilla when making regular French toast. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Kasey says
Awesome! So glad you both enjoyed it.
amira lilley says
Hi ! Made your recipe today and loved it until the after taste came. I think i used a little bit to much nutmeg it really over powered the whole thing and wasn’t able to finish my French toast any suggestions for next time ?
Kasey says
If you think you added too much nutmeg then I would omit it next time.
Kathy says
My husband loves your French toast! He has it once a week and always says he feels like he’s cheating!
Kasey says
So glad he loves it!
Margaret Freeman says
Thank you so much for this recipe, it was absolutely fantastic! So easy and tastes just like regular french toast. I won’t bother making pancakes anymore, this is a real keeper.
Kasey says
Glad you enjoyed it, Margaret.
Kendra says
Am I able to refrigerate and eat at a later time? If so, do you know how many days it’s good for?
Kasey says
You could refrigerate and wait to fry it in the skillet until right before you eat it. I would say no more than 5 days.
Liz says
Simple, easy to make and tasty. I put whip cream on mine to further satiate my sweet tooth.
Kasey says
Glad you enjoyed!!
Sarina says
I know this made in the microwave which I don’t have. Can it be done in the oven?
Kasey says
Sure, you’ll just have to watch the baking time.
Lisa says
This was delicious! I will definitely make this again.
Kasey says
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it!
Jennifer says
Super easy to make! The flavor was definitely there, but it seemed more dense and quite gritty… Any suggestions? Thanks!! 💜
Kasey says
Keto approved flours just have a different texture that some describe as gritty. I don’t know if there is anything you can do to get away from that.
Patti says
What type of bread do I use to make this
Mary Trenum says
You actually don’t use any bread. This recipe is a spin-off of my 90-second bread. The recipe makes the ‘bread.’ Hope you enjoy!
Sharon M says
Delicious! It hits the spot! Thank you for a great recipe!
.Kasey says
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Tonya says
Made this 2x now and turned out perfect! Have to say felt guilty eating it both times because it taste just like French toast. This is on my weekly menu.
.Kasey says
Awesome! It’s so great to eat such yummy dishes that you don’t have to feel guilty eating!!!
Jetta says
I switched to keto 4 years ago and have made many keto pancake, crepe and french toast recipes looking for something that comes even close to the carb and gluten-filled versions and this is by far the best. So good, thank you!!!
Kasey says
Wow! That is amazing. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
