Keto Cream Cheese Bread Recipe

This keto cream cheese bread is perfect for making sandwiches, topping with low carb jam, and so much more! Plus it comes together in 5 easy steps — no bread maker required.

If you’ve been missing bread on a low carb diet, you have to try this keto bread recipe!

You may have made others where the loaf came out really dense. But you won't have to worry about that with this recipe!

This quick and easy keto cheese bread is made with almond flour and coconut flour. It’s less expensive than store bought versions and tastes much better thanks to the simple ingredients.

All you need is a food processor or hand mixer and a baking pan. Now, you can have your bread and eat it, too!

Instructions

This may be one of the easiest low-carb bread recipes out there. Simply mix and bake!

1. Make the batter. Using either a food processor or a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese and butter. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until everything is well-combined.

2. Transfer to a loaf pan. Pour the batter into a greased 8×4-inch bread pan.

3. Bake and cool. Bake the batter at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until the loaf is firm and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then place the loaf on a rack to cool completely.

Be sure to let the bread cool completely before slicing. Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and will stay fresh for about a week.

Using A Bread Machine

I’ve never made this keto cream cheese bread recipe in a bread machine. I don’t see a reason to get out another kitchen gadget when it’s so easy to make in the oven.

But you could probably make this recipe in a bread machine if you prefer. Just be sure to cook it on the quick bread cycle.

⚖️ Carbs

I like to slice this low-carb bread into 15 slices. At this size, each slice will have 3 grams of total carbohydrates and 1.2 grams of fiber. So each slice has about 1.8 net carbs.

This means you can enjoy your keto bread with moderate-carb toppings for some guilt-free indulgence. Slather on a few tablespoons of raspberry chia jam, or make yourself a big slice of avocado toast!

Why Cheese Works

If you’ve never baked with cheese before, you may be wondering if your bread is going to turn out like a block of queso.

Actually, cheese is a great replacement for gluten. It provides that bit of elasticity we’re looking for in baked goods. Combined with low carb flours, it helps us achieve that light and fluffy texture we love.

This is often referred to as fat head dough in the keto community. It’s commonly used in keto deep dish pizza recipes. But you can also use it to make fathead breadsticks, low carb bagels, and even keto cinnamon rolls!

This fathead bread loaf uses the same concept of combining cheese and low carb flours. The result is a bread texture that’s perfect for sandwiches, toast, and more!

Variations

For this keto cheese bread recipe, I like to use zero carb Isopure unflavored protein to lighten up the texture. But if you don’t have whey protein or have a sensitivity to whey, you can easily replace it with more coconut or almond flour.

Adding some chia seeds or psyllium husk could make the batter more like bread dough. That way, you wouldn't need to use a bread mold.
