Keto French Toast Sticks

A sweet breakfast option that is ideal for on the go eating or for kids who are picky eaters, these keto french toast sticks will soon be a favorited recipe. They have all the flavor that you would find in my keto french toast recipe or french toast casserole, except these are bite sized and only take a few minutes to make.

The easiest way to make keto french toast sticks would be to buy a loaf of keto bread from the store, cut it up into thin pieces, coat it with the egg mixture and then fry. However, most keto bread that you can get at the store either contains gluten or is expensive. If you aren’t gluten-free, this would be an excellent option and would save you the effort of making your own keto bread.

But for those who need to be gluten free, it’s easy to make up a small portion of keto bread in 90 seconds. This almond flour bread doesn’t take long to prepare and it is baked in the microwave for 90 seconds.

The french toast coating has a special blend of spices and an ingredient to help get the crust crispy when it is fried – just like they do at Wendy’s.

Dip in your favorite sugar-free syrup, jam or just enjoy on their own.

1. Make keto bread using almond flour, protein powder, heavy cream, butter, baking powder, egg white and sweetener.
2. Bake the bread in the microwave or oven. (See below for full instructions)
3. Slice bread into thin strips.
4. Dip each slice into egg mixture – egg yolk, heavy cream, protein powder, sweetener, spices.
5. Fry each french toast stick in avocado oil until golden brown and crispy.
6. Dunk in your favorite low carb syrup, jam or just enjoy on their own.

Key ingredients & substitutions

• Keto bread – In this low carb french toast recipe, we make our own almond flour bread using a few simple ingredients. If you are short on time and don’t want the hassle of making your own keto bread, then use store bought bread. Franz, Kiss My Keto, Base Culture and Carbonaut are all good options. 
• Egg yolk – Use only the egg yolk for this french toast stick recipe as the egg white can give that sulfurous, “eggy” flavor which can be overpowering.
• Protein powder – This is what produces a crunchy crust to the outside of the french toast sticks as they fry in the oil. Look for a low carb protein powder (unflavored or vanilla flavored).
• Sweetener – To add sweetness in order to achieve that cinnamon sugar flavor. The sweetener can be omitted or adjusted (more or less) to fit your taste preference.
• Heavy cream – Used to thin out the batter. Nut milk (like almond milk, coconut milk or macadamia nut milk) can be substituted.
• Spices – Cinnamon and nutmeg are added for the classic cinnamon french toast flavor.
