5. Cloud Bread

Cloud bread is a great substitute for bread on the ketogenic diet. The term “cloud” comes from the fact that its quite light and fluffy tasting, which comes from the egg whites being mixed and folded into the rest of the recipe.

It is seriously a good burger bun or even an Asian bao bun! I have used cheese and ham in the photo above, but you can pretty much put whatever toppings on it you like.

6. The Best Keto Breakfast Sandwich

My favorite keto breakfast sandwich is low in carbs, high in healthy fats and off the charts in flavor! The sausage on the outside is the perfect touch to make you not miss the bread at all!

7. Avocado Bacon & Eggs

The combination of the avocado with the cheese, bacon and eggs makes for a simple but filling breakfast that I think you will enjoy too. And they’re packed full of good fats.

8. 90-Second Low Carb Keto Bread

Forget Atkins and Paleo — the new low-carb diet du jour is called keto, as in ketogenic. Although there are many similarities between these diets, a keto diet is all about restricting carbohydrates and increasing healthy fats.

The goal is to force your body’s metabolism into ketosis, which means it burns fat instead of glucose — because, without carbs, glucose isn’t readily available.

9. Keto Low Carb Sugar-Free Mug Bread

It is not every day that you see a bread recipe for keto diet followers. What I like about this bread is that it is quick to make and you only have to make one serving at a time.  I like that there are no leftovers to tempt me into eating more than I should.

From: Peace, Love & Low Carb

11. Keto Doritos

AKA Dorketos. Not sure that will catch on! Prep time and oven time were about 15 minutes in total. The amazing crunchy mouth satisfaction I got from these was such a relief! In the end they didn’t last very long, but turned out to be quite hearty and surprisingly satisfying.

From: Baking Outside the Box

12. Halloumi Fries

Crisp and slightly salty shallow-fried halloumi fries make perfect party food. Great with a sprinkling of za’atar and a spicy yogurt for dipping.

This recipe uses wheat flour but I would recommend swapping that out for a low-carb alternative live Almond flour.

Who says tailgate food can’t be healthy too? Crispy, cheesy Buffalo Chicken Keto Cauliflower Tots are guilt-free and totally crave-able!

Once you’ve been eating Keto for a while, you can get a bit tired of the same old lunches and dinners. That’s why I created this Keto Cheese and Bacon Bread. It reminds me of those cheese and bacon rolls you get from bakeries, you know the ones with the cheesy crusts? It is so much moister and obviously much lower in carbs though so is a Keto win!

15. Garlic Butter Keto Bread

Garlic Butter Keto Bread – crisp on the outside and moist in the inside, this is the Holy Grail for keto bread! Using a cream cheese and mozzarella dough combined with almond flour and bacon bits, this is the best keto garlic bread recipe you’ll ever make.

It’s the parmesan and herb crust – perfectly golden and brushed an amazing garlic butter sauce – that makes this keto bread recipe totally stand out. Enjoy!

20. Instant Pot Low Carb Dairy Free Beef Rendang

Make the curry to beat all curries with this cheater Malaysian Instant Pot Beef Rendang recipe! Beef Rendang is a dry curry recipe that normally takes several hours to make. It was actually originally a way to preserve meat but now is eaten as a tender, flavorful dish.

I decided to figure out how to cook this in my Instant Pot so I could cut down cook times without cutting down on authentic flavor. It’s fall-apart tender and absolutely delicious. But best of all? Ready in under an hour!

Personally, I like to let it cook on a little and dry out and intensify the flavor.
