Fluffy Keto Brioche Bread
(Low-Carb, Soft, and Buttery)
Traditional brioche is known for its rich, buttery flavor and soft, pillowy crumb—but it’s also high in carbs. This Fluffy Keto Brioche Bread delivers the same tender texture and golden crust while staying low-carb and keto-friendly. Made with almond flour, eggs, and butter, it’s perfect for anyone following a ketogenic or low-carb lifestyle who still wants a bakery-style bread.
This keto brioche is slightly sweet, wonderfully airy, and versatile enough for breakfast, sandwiches, or even French toast. Unlike many low-carb breads that turn out dense or dry, this recipe focuses on proper structure and moisture for a truly fluffy result.

Wet Ingredients
-
5 large eggs, room temperature
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
-
¼ cup heavy cream
-
2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
-
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for classic brioche flavor)

Parchment paper
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Break up any lumps for a smooth crumb.
3. Beat the Eggs
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs for 2–3 minutes until slightly pale and frothy. This step helps create a lighter, fluffier bread.
4. Add Wet Ingredients
Slowly whisk in the melted butter, heavy cream, sweetener, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth.
5. Combine
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until a thick but pourable batter forms. Do not overmix.
6. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes.
7. Cool
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This helps the crumb set properly.
