I’m so excited to share this keto French toast with you! It’s such a simple, classic recipe, but so satisfying and perfect for that French toast craving. And the best part? It’s only got 3 grams of net carbs per serving! So if you’re following a keto lifestyle, you can enjoy French toast without worry! And even if you’re not doing keto, you can still enjoy this French toast while cutting back on sugar!

What kind of bread should be used for keto French toast?

The key to this keto French toast recipe is in the bread. In this case, we’re using L’Oven Fresh Zero Net Carb Multiseed Bread from Aldi. This post isn’t sponsored — I just love this bread! Of course, if you’re unable to find this particular bread, you can use any other Keto-friendly bread you can find! Another great option is Franz Keto Bread, which is also zero net carbs. But whatever keto or low-carb bread that you use, this keto French toast will definitely be a go-to brunch treat!

Using keto bread is an easy way to make this classic breakfast dish keto friendly! Because all of the carbohydrates in the Zero Net Carb bread come from dietary fiber, the bread contains zero net carbs. But what does that mean?

What are net carbs?

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of net carbs, here’s how they work. Basically, net carbs are the grams of carbohydrates in a food after you subtract dietary fiber. Because dietary fiber and sugar alcohols don’t impact blood sugar, it can be excluded from measurements for the purposes of following a low-carb or diabetic-friendly diet. So in this case, this keto French toast recipe contains 42 grams of carbs, which definitely sounds like a lot! But since 39 of those grams of carbs come from dietary fiber or sugar alcohols like erythritol, only the remaining 3 grams are absorbed by your body. So they’re the only ones you need to measure for your daily carbohydrate count. That’s where the 3 net carbs number comes from!

How long do you soak bread for French toast?

The short answer: it varies! It depends on the thickness of your bread slices, the type of bread, and whether it’s stale or not. Many French toast recipes suggest soaking your bread for 10-20 minutes, but since the Zero Net Carb bread we’re using in our keto French toast is sliced pretty thin, about 5 minutes should be fine to soak the bread.

But one thing I love about this recipe is that it’s so simple and you can sort of play around with it to suit your preference! If you want, feel free to double the batter recipe and soak your bread longer to get more of a custard texture to your French toast! I personally love the ease and quickness of this recipe, but what I love most is that it’s adaptable!

Equipment

For this keto French toast recipe, you’ll need either a griddle pan like this one, or another nonstick frying pan. Other than that, just a few tools to mix up the batter and soak your bread, and you’re ready to go!

Notes

Sugar-Free Syrup: I like the flavor and consistency of the ChocZero sugar-free maple pecan syrup! But you can use whatever sugar-free syrup you like, or omit the syrup altogether!

Serving/storage: This Keto French toast is best served immediately, but if you would like to save it for later, you can store it, without extra butter, powdered Swerve, or syrup, in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
