Cheesy, garlicky and buttery, this keto garlic bread is gluten free and low carb. Beware – it’s addictive!
This cheesy keto garlic bread is dangerous! Yes, it’s low carb and gluten free, which makes it a healthier choice than most garlic breads out there.
Still, this keto garlic bread is so tasty, so irresistible, that I only make it once in a very long while. That’s because it’s addictive and I tend to overeat it! š³Ā So I make it only when I know I’ll be able to share it with others.
Does it taste like real garlic bread?
No. Lacking wheat and gluten, no keto bread can taste like the real thing. BUT it is a very tasty substitute. As I said, maybe too tasty!
So is this keto garlic bread really healthy?
Well, that would depend on how you define healthy. If you’re on a keto, low carb or gluten free diet, then for sure this is a vast improvement over wheat flour bread. Almonds are an excellent choice on a low carb diet.
A serving of this bread only has around 3g net carbs and it also has 11g of protein. A serving also provides you with about 40% of your daily vitamin E and manganese requirements, and with around 20% of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and riboflavin.
How to serve keto garlic bread?
It’s a great appetizer! When I host a dinner party, I like to bring out a platter of this keto garlic bread for people to munch on while having a cocktail.
But it’s also great as a side dish.Ā One of my favorite keto meals is steak, salad, and keto garlic bread.
How to keep leftovers?
If you have leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days, and reheat in a 350-degree F oven. Or gently microwave on 50% power. It won’t be as good as freshly baked, but it’s still quite good.

Garlic Bread:
- 2 cups blanched almond flour (8 oz)

- In a small bowl, whisk the egg.
- With a rubber spatula, mix the egg into the flour mixture.
