There’s nothing quite like the smell of warm, buttery garlic bread fresh out of the oven, is there? For all my keto friends out there, this recipe brings you that same soul-warming satisfaction with none of the carbs.

This keto garlic bread is soft, cheesy, perfectly garlicky, and oh-so-decadent.

Made with almond flour and plenty of cheesy goodness, it’s the ultimate sidekick to your soups, salads, or just about any meal. Even non-keto eaters will be coming back for seconds!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this keto-friendly garlic bread masterpiece:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Making this keto garlic bread is simpler than you’d think! Just follow these steps, and you’ll have an irresistible loaf in no time:

  1. Preheat your oven:
    Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Melt the cheeses:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  4. Incorporate the wet ingredients:
    Add the eggs and melted butter to the dry mixture and mix until combined.
  5. Add the melted cheeses:
    Gently fold the melted cheese mixture into the batter. This may take a bit of elbow grease, but keep going until it forms a sticky dough.
  6. Bake the bread:
    Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the garlic butter topping:
    While the bread bakes, mix the minced garlic, parsley, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter in a small bowl.
  8. Brush and finish:
    Once the bread is out of the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the top. Let it cool slightly before slicing.

Tweaks and Additions

This garlic bread is wonderfully versatile! Here are a few ways to make it your own:

  • Cheese lovers:
    Sprinkle shredded Parmesan or more mozzarella on top before baking for a gooey, golden crust.
  • Spicy kick:
    Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a little heat.
  • Herbal twist:
    Swap the parsley for fresh rosemary or thyme for a different aromatic touch.
  • Mini loaves or muffins:
    Divide the dough into muffin tins or mini loaf pans for individual portions. Perfect for meal prep or serving at a dinner party!

There you have it—keto garlic bread perfection! This loaf is sure to become a regular on your menu, whether you’re hosting a keto dinner party or simply treating yourself to some indulgent, low-carb comfort food.

Serve it with a bowl of creamy soup, alongside a hearty salad, or enjoy it all on its own.

Once you’ve taken that first bite, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Happy baking!
