Ingredients
For the Keto Egg Loaf:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener
For the Dry Mix:
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For Frying:
- 1–2 tablespoons butter for the skillet
- Sugar-free maple syrup for serving
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with damp parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches hanging over the edges for easy removal later. This little trick will save you so much hassle!
② Create the Egg Loaf Batter: In a large bowl or blender, combine the softened cream cheese, eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar-free sweetener. Mix thoroughly until the cream cheese is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
③ Add the Dry Ingredients: Add the coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid – this is exactly what you want for the perfect texture.
④ Bake the Foundation: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until the loaf is firm to the touch and golden brown. Don’t worry if it deflates slightly as it cools – this is completely normal and won’t affect the final result.
⑤ Cool & Slice: Allow the egg loaf to cool completely, then use the parchment paper handles to lift it out of the pan. Slice into thick pieces – about 8 slices total – for the perfect French toast thickness.
⑥ Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Fry each slice of the egg loaf until crispy and beautifully golden brown on both sides, just like traditional French toast. Serve immediately with sugar-free maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate keto breakfast experience!
Notes
The magic of this keto French toast lies in properly softening your cream cheese before mixing – this ensures a completely smooth batter without any lumps! Make sure your cream cheese is at true room temperature for the best results. This recipe is perfect for meal prep since you can make the egg loaf ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a week. Just slice and fry whenever you want fresh French toast! For a fun variation, cut the slices into sticks to make keto French toast sticks that kids will absolutely love dipping in syrup.
