A slice of warm buttered bread can be hard to resist. When that slice is Primal keto bread, you don’t have to resist. Primal keto bread makes delicious toast and sandwiches a real possibility, whether you’re following a ketogenic diet or simply keeping things Primal.
Before slicing into your first loaf of Primal keto bread (and it does slice beautifully) you should know that it isn’t going to taste exactly like “regular” bread. Keto bread is more similar to quick bread, with a soft almost cake-like texture and thin crust. The recipe here takes inspiration from recipes by Elana’s Pantry and Keto Connect, which both use almond flour and eggs as the main ingredients for keto bread.
This recipe is similar, but sets itself apart by producing a lighter loaf that isn’t too moist and spongy and isn’t too “eggy” tasting. The “eggy” flavor often associated with keto bread is toned down in this recipe by using fewer eggs and by adding bolder flavors like dried herbs, garlic and cheese, or (for the other variation) honey and cinnamon.
This honey and cinnamon keto bread is especially hard to resist. Toasted with butter, it’s a breakfast that both kids and adults will love. The garlic, dill & cheddar Primal keto bread is a savory treat, perfect for a BLT or turkey sandwich.
Keto bread is easy to make. But before you bake your first loaf, read all the way through the recipe, as it includes many tips that will ensure your loaf turns out perfectly.
Time in the Kitchen: 15 minutes, plus 30 minutes to bake
Servings: 10 to 12 slices
Cinnamon & Honey Keto Bread
Ingredients
1 ½ cups blanched almond flour (165 g)
4 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon egg white protein powder (5 g)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (70 g)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt (1.2 ml)
3 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder (15 ml)
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon (7 ml)
1 tablespoon honey (15 ml)
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (1.2 ml)
Garlic, Dill & Cheddar Keto Bread
Ingredients
1 ½ cups blanched almond flour (165 g)
4 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon egg white protein powder (5 g)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (70 g)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt (1.2 ml)
3 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder (15 ml)
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (1.2 ml)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (5 ml)
1 teaspoon dried dill (5 ml)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (90g)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375º F/190º C.
Lightly grease an 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan. For easiest release, cover the bottom of the loaf pan with lightly greased parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the almond flour, egg yolks, egg white protein powder, butter, salt and baking powder.
*If making cinnamon & honey bread, add the cinnamon and honey.
*If making garlic, dill & cheddar bread, add the garlic powder, dill and cheddar.
Process just until the ingredients come together into a ball of dough.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using the whisk attachment, whisk until the egg whites are big and fluffy and soft peaks form (when the whisk is lifted out of the egg whites, a soft peak should form, then fall slightly).
Pour 1/3 of the egg whites into the food processor. Pulse until combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Add another 1/3 of the egg whites, and pulse again until combined into a wet batter.
Scrape the dough out of the food processor into the bowl with the remaining egg whites. Use a spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the dough. Gently fold and mix until there are no white streaks, but be gentle; the air in the egg whites helps the dough rise into a loaf with a light texture.
Scrape the batter into the loaf pan. Bake 30 minutes.
Let cool for at least 30 minutes before removing from the loaf pan. Try to let the loaf cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Primal keto bread keeps for 1 to 2 days on the counter with simply a light towel over the top of it. For longer storage (3 to 5 days), keep the keto bread wrapped lightly in a towel inside a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
This recipe was developed using Blue Diamond blanched almond flour. Other brands are fine, too, but might yield slightly different results.
Egg white protein powder is used to add more protein but also to help the bread rise into a fluffy loaf.
Cream of tartar helps make egg whites fluffy and airy and makes them less likely to deflate in the oven.
If the baking powder is aluminum–free (it usually says so on the front of the can), your baked goods won’t have a strange metallic flavor. Another reason to use aluminum-free: baking powder with aluminum can give baked goods a grayish color if the recipe includes an acidic ingredient.
The recipes above can be altered by adding different flavors. Any type of dried herb or spice can be used. Omitting the cheese is fine; it won’t change the texture of the bread. Add more honey if you like, vanilla extract, or a pinch of cardamom.
Grain bowls are often in regular rotation in my meal plan because they largely come together during my Sunday meal prep routine. Most of the components of this wholesome meal — from the grains and protein, to the veggies and sauce — can be prepped and cooked ahead of time. All that’s left to do come the middle of the week is assemble the bowls for a fast lunch or dinner. Here are 10 fresh and hearty grain bowl recipes to make now and eat all week long.
My mother-in-law is an excellent cook. She bakes, she makes soup from scratch, she gathers herbs from the garden to blend into pestos and more, and, luckily for me, she usually makes more than she and my father-in-law can eat. Many a time we’ve gone to visit for the weekend and come home with a tote bag full of delectables and end up eating like kings for the week.
Beyond her skills and years of experience, my mother-in-law has one secret weapon for her freezer: masking tape.
Cobbler may be the best reason to turn on the stove in the summer. Jammy fruit, crisp and buttery topping — all you need is a scoop of ice cream.
This particular cobbler might just be the easiest I’ve ever made. It’s the kind of recipe you make once and then remember forever. You can make it with a spatula or a soup spoon, in a New York apartment or at your vacation beach house, with peaches or with any other fruit you want to turn into dessert.

Warrior Fit Testimonials
First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.
Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight.
At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does!
Thank you!! - Theresa F.
The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.
When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do.
It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished.
I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy.
- Jami L.
