Keto Soft Pretzels

Tasty keto soft pretzels are made with modified Fathead dough. They are flavorful, chewy, and make a great low carb snack.

These keto soft pretzels are wonderfully chewy and fragrant. They are made from modified Fathead dough. I add a bit more almond flour than the original recipe calls for, otherwise the dough is too sticky to handle.

I also add several seasonings and a bit of Parmesan cheese, which give these keto pretzels a wonderful flavor.

It’s amazing to see how this dough bakes, golden and puffy and beautiful. While these are by no means true pretzels – they can’t be without gluten, yeast and boiling prior to baking – they do give you the experience of a crusty exterior, a chewy interior and an intense flavor profile.

These keto soft pretzels make a wonderful snack, but I actually like them best for breakfast with my coffee!

If you have leftovers, freeze them in ziploc bags, and gently thaw in the microwave.

PS. Another great keto almond flour recipe is this recipe for almond flour cheese biscuits. And you should definitely try this keto garlic bread! Or maybe you shouldn’t… it’s probably too tasty for your own good. 😀
