Keto Egg Loaf
Raise your hand if you LOVE French toast. My hand is definitely raised over here! In fact, if I had to name my top sweet breakfasts, French toast would definitely make the list. There is just something about softened bread fried up and drowning in maple syrup, butter, and powdered sugar that gets me every time.
But let’s be real here: French toast is pretty much the polar opposite of a keto-friendly food. It’s basically ALL carbs (except the eggs and butter) and ALL sugar (all of that heavenly powdered sugar and maple syrup!).
I’m here to solve that problem with… Keto French Toast Egg Loaf! 😍 It’s:
- Only 1.7g net carbs per serving
- Packed with 10g protein per serving
- The perfect vehicle for butter, keto-friendly powdered sugar, and keto-friendly maple syrup
- An awesome breakfast or snack
- Perfect plated or served on-the-go
Sounds dreamy, right? It is!
You can also make these into portable Keto French Toast Muffins! Scroll down to the “How to Make Keto French Toast Muffins” section for details.
Ingredients Needed for Keto French Toast Loaf
Ingredient quantities are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Swerve Confectioners Sugar Replacement
If you’re looking for a sugar substitute, you’ll love Swerve Confectioners! It uses (natural) sugar alcohols which have zero effect on blood sugar, meaning you can subtract them from the net carb count. (That gives Swerve zero net carbs.) It also measures just like sugar, so there isn’t any guessing about how much to use. I purchase the 48 oz. bags because they are convenient and a much better price per ounce than the 12 oz. bags.
Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate Powder {Optional, But Highly Recommended}*
This protein powder contains only 1g net carbs per serving and 25g protein. It is delicious in keto smoothies!
*If you would prefer to skip the protein powder, see the recipe card notes for a few modifications you’ll have to make.
For a topping:
Keto Maple Syrup
No pancake is complete without maple syrup! This stuff is divine and tastes so much like the real thing.
Other ingredients:
- Cream cheese
- Eggs
- Butter
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Nutmeg

How to Easily Make Keto Egg Loaf
This is just a quick overview of how to make low carb French toast. For the recipe in detail, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Mix the cream cheese and Swerve Confectioners with a hand mixer in a bowl like this one, then add the eggs.
Add the remaining ingredients.
The mixture will be quite liquidy at this point. Don’t worry; it will firm up! Add it to a greased loaf pan or silicone loaf pan (this one’s my favorite!)…
then bake. After letting it cool, remove from the pan, slice into 8 slices, and serve on some cute serving plates like these.
Why I Used Protein Powder in This Recipe
I added protein powder to this recipe for two reasons:
- To boost the protein content of the recipe. The scoop of protein powder adds an additional 3g protein per serving.
- To firm up the loaf to make it more portable. Without the protein powder, the loaf has a set custard texture. It’s portable but a bit fragile. The protein powder gives it a nice firmness that lets you just wrap up a slice in a bit of plastic wrap or throw it in a Ziploc bag without worry.
If you don’t want to use the protein powder, see the recipe card notes for a few modifications.
How to Serve Your Keto Egg Loaf
I highly recommend serving your Keto French Toast Egg Loaf with:
- Butter
- Swerve Confectioners
- Our amazing Keto Whipped Cream
- Keto Maple Syrup
Of course, if there is a keto-friendly French toast topping that you prefer, go for it!
How to Make Keto French Toast Muffins
I am happy to report that you can also make these into muffins! To make Keto French Toast Muffins:
- If desired, increase the Swerve to 1/2 cup. This will make the muffins a bit sweeter, which is nice if you’re eating a plain muffin out of a plastic bag or container. (Versus eating them at home with extra Swerve and keto maple syrup on top!)
- Pour the batter into a lightly oiled muffin tin or a silicone muffin pan like this one. The batter will go almost to the top of each slot.
- Bake at 350 F for 18-23 minutes, until cooked through and browned on the top.
Can I Eat Egg Loaf on the Keto Diet?
You can eat egg loaf on the keto diet as long as you use low carb ingredients in the recipe. You must use a recipe that substitutes wheat flour, sugar and maple syrup with low carb ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour or protein powder, a low carb sweetener and a low carb maple syrup.
How Do I Make Egg Loaf Keto-Friendly?
You can make egg loaf keto-friendly by following a low carb recipe that substitutes heavy carb ingredients with low carb ingredients. Specifically, you can make egg loaf with cream cheese, protein powder, erythritol (or allulose and monk fruit) and a low carb maple syrup instead of wheat flower, sugar and maple syrup.
Keto French Toast Loaf Origins
Although I have made multiple modifications, the base of recipe did not originate with me. In fact, the Keto French Toast Loaf recipe is a bit of an internet legend! 😉 Rumor has it, the original recipe was a keto cream cheese pancake from All Day I Dream About Food, which was then baked by Instagrammer @Keto.Sam.Iam. I’ve seen quite a few variations floating around online. I hope you enjoy this one!

Keto Egg Loaf – Keto French Toast Loaf
Ingredients
- 7 oz cream cheese
- 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioners
- 7 eggs beaten
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein isolate powder optional; see notes
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Optional Toppings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Add the cream cheese and Swerve to a mixing bowl. Beat on high until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the eggs, butter, cinnamon, protein powder, vanilla, and nutmeg, and beat until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into a greased loaf pan or silicone loaf pan (8.5" x 4.5").
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust on the outside is browned and the mixture is cooked through in the center.
- Serve topped with melted butter and sugar-free syrup.
Notes
- I made this recipe with NOW Sports Nutrition Creamy Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate, which contains 1g net carbs and 25g protein per serving.
- If you would prefer not to add protein powder to the recipe, increase the vanilla extract by an additional 1/2 tsp and bake for 40-50 minutes instead. The result will be similar to a set custard. (By adding protein powder, the texture is a bit firmer — plus it boosts the protein level.)
- Nutrition facts do not include optional toppings.
To make Keto French Toast Muffins:
- If desired, increase the Swerve to 1/2 cup. This will make the muffins a bit sweeter, which is nice if you’re eating a plain muffin out of a plastic bag or container. (Versus eating them at home with extra Swerve and keto maple syrup on top!)
- Pour the batter into a lightly oiled muffin tin or a silicone muffin pan. The batter will go almost to the top of each slot.
- Bake at 350 F for 18-23 minutes, until cooked through and browned on the top.

I would really like it if you would post the size of loaf pan you use. There are so many sizes now, and it is hard to tell from the posted pictures what size pan is used. Thank you.
Hi Phyllis, Thank you for pointing this out! I used an 8.5″ x 4.5″ loaf pan. I will update the post too.
Hi! I only have keto chocolate protein at the moment. To firm it up, do you think I could use Glucomannan?
Hi Kathryn! I’ve never used Glucommanan in baking (just xanathan gum) so I can’t say for sure, but it does sound like it should work based on this recipe and a few others I found: https://oureverydaylife.com/can-use-konjac-flour-baking-41680.html
What about using collagen peptides instead of the whey protein isolate? Any thoughts?
Hi Pam! I don’t know if the texture would be exactly the same, but I do know that many people bake with collagen peptides, so I say go for it. If you end up doing so, I would love to hear about the results. Thanks for visiting!
Fantastic Keto Eggloaf recipe! The leftovers were just as good as when it was freshly made.
