This easy Keto bread made without almond flour is super quick to make and one of my favorites to have for breakfast! It is gluten-free, high in fiber and makes great toasts to match with your favourite toppings . It is also a good alternative if you have any nut allergies as it is made with sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour.
Ingredients you will need To make this Easy keto bread without almon flour
- Ground Flaxseed: I like to buy the flax seeds and grind them on the blender myself. As a result, your flax seed flour will be fresh and at it best. Any coffee/spice grinder or Nutribullet will do the job. I don’t recomend grinding flax seed in advance as it will only last for a week in the fridge.
- Sunflower Seed Flour: It is a great alternative if you can’t have almond or any nut flour. I like to buy the seeds and grind them myself, as I do with Flax seeds.
- Non-Fat Dry Milk: it gives structure and enhance texture. It is said that whey protein can be used instead, but I didn’t try it myself. If you try it let me know how it goes!
- Tapioca Flour: also known as tapioca starch, it gives this bread a lighter texture.
- Organic Egg: this is the binding agent. I recomend using eggs at room temperature when baking.
- Olive Oil: I like to use olive oil in this Keto bread but you can use coconut oil or any other oil of your preference.
- Baking Powder: I recomend using aluminium free baking powder.
- Salt: I use pink Hymalayian

Can i toast Keto Bread?
Yes! This keto bread is really good to make toasts. I recomend to slice the bread and toast it in the oven until the edges are lightly golden. Don’t brown them too much as they can turn bitter. Tip: Whatch the temperature of the oven, low temperature (320 °F / 160 °C) is better in order to get dry crunchy toasts.
Why did my keto bread turn green?
It may happen that after a few days some parts of the bread turn green, but don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe to eat. The green color is the result of a chemical reaction between the leavening agent and sunflower seed flour. It happened to me once and it was not inmediatly after baking, it was somewhere between the 3rd and 4th day after baking. But the taste was the same!

No time to cook! Where to buy Keto bread?
Even though I try to cook everything myself, sometimes, life happens and you just need to get your keto bread from somewhere else than your kitchen. My favourite store to get a good Keto friendly bread is Aldi. The “brand” name is L’Oven Fresh Zero Net Carb Bread, and is really good. I would say it is the closest you will get to a regular wheat bread. The texture is great, it is super light and moist. The only problem is that is hard to get one sometimes, as it is in high demand.

Is there a substitute for tapioca starch? Dr Eric berg’s video on it said that it has the same GI as glucose and dextrose (100), even though the carbs are low. Low carb does not always mean low GI.
Worked out well. Think I will double the recipe next time. Thanks!
Hello and thank you for this recipe! Not sure if the sunflower seeds should be roasted or raw. Thanks.
Hello Jeanette! The seeds should be raw. If you use roasted seeds, you might end up with sunflower butter because they release their oils more easily. I will clarify in the recipe. Thank you for asking!
