The Creation
Samatha, keto.sam.iam, on Instagram first made this recipe and shared it on her Instagram account. Since then, it’s become a hit. She, however, did not come up with the recipe itself exactly. She just changed how the ingredients were cooked.
What I mean by this is that she took the cream cheese pancake recipe that’s been online for a while and placed it into a bread pan and cooked it this way instead of making pancakes. BRILLIANT!
Edited on 9/25/18: I recently learned that this original recipe did not originally come from All Day I Dream About Food. I just remembered that Sam mentioned that she found it on her site. Go check out her site though, she’s got some great treats on there.
The Basic Egg Loaf / Soggy French Toast Recipe
The described recipe below is just the basic version of this egg loaf. I used 4 tablespoons of butter, while others use 8 tablespoons.
Some do no use sweetener, some use sweetener. I really enjoyed using liquid monk fruit sweetener in mine.
The monk fruit drops currently have vanilla, chocolate, lemon and regular for their flavors. One of the best things about these liquid drops is that they give you zero carbs, unlike erythritol. Add a little bit at a time and test the sweetness as you go for your own personal liking.
YouTube Video
A.D. Keto has allowed me to place his video on here to help you all out. He makes this egg loaf recipe on his YouTube channel.
Variations From Instagram
Mama Keto Cooks Real Food
She used the original recipe but then added 6 tablespoons of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and some cinnamon.
To cook this one though is slightly different. She cooked it for 45 minutes on the same heat setting.
She sadly no longer has an Instagram account.
keto.ninfem/Rebecca
Rebecca started adding 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder for each serving. For example, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon butter and 1 ounce of cream cheese and 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder. By doing this, the loaf does not deflate as much.
She also likes adding vanilla extract to her creations. One creation was a banana walnut loaf. She added in 1/8 tsp vanilla extract, 1/8 tsp banana extract, a dash of cinnamon, and 1/4 C walnuts.
Ketoculinarystuff (Keto Culinary Stuff)
He made this really good looking mocha flavor. He made the original recipe but then added 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup dark roast coffee, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
More Flavor Combinations
By using other extracts, this treat can take on other favorite flavors. Some extra flavor ideas: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, coffee, mint, caramel, rum, coconut, and pistachio.
Finishing Touches
Once the loaf is finished cooking in the oven, slice the loaf and fry up the slices in butter! Or heck, try using coconut oil. Fried french toast? Yes, please!
Then get some keto syrup and cover that french toast. People have enjoyed the syrups from Lakanto and ChocZero. Oh, you can’t forget about the whipped cream either. Get creative and add different flavors to that whipped cream too!
Add-in Ideas to Try
- Cocoa Powder
- shredded Unsweetened Coconut
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Berries
- Nuts such as Pili Nuts
- Banana Extract, which is what I used in my Banana Bread recipe.

The ingredients for this Keto Egg Loaf are simple and wholesome, using just three main ingredients: eggs, almond flour, and unsweetened almond milk.

The egg provides the protein and healthy fats, while the almond flour and almond milk provide the perfect combination of healthy fats and carbohydrates.
To make the Keto Egg Loaf, you will need to beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Once that is done, you will need to add the almond flour, almond milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until it forms a thick batter. Next, grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or butter. Pour the Keto Egg Loaf batter into the pan, spreading it evenly, then sprinkle a pinch of sweetened cinnamon over the top. Finally, bake the loaf in an oven preheated to 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
When the Keto Egg Loaf is finished baking, let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Sprinkle on a bit of powdered sugar, or dip your slices in an egg-free maple syrup for optimal french toast perfection. You can also top them with a dollop of whipped cream or your favorite fruits. Enjoy the Keto Egg Loaf with your favorite cup of coffee, or pair it with a side of scrambled eggs for a truly satisfying and wholesome breakfast.
