Quick & Easy Keto Low Carb Seeded Protein Bread. 5 mins prep. 35 min bake. Incredibly good. JUST 0.8g PER SLICE!
This loaf is keto-friendly, low in carbs and full of nutritious ingredients. Building on the success of the original protein bread, this seeded version adds texture and crunch while reducing net carbs — perfect for lunches, snacks or to mop up sauces at dinner.
If you want a quick, textured alternative to the classic protein loaf, this one only needs one extra ingredient and slightly less of the two main dry ingredients, so it stretches your supplies further. It’s fast to make and bakes into a versatile, tasty bread you can use for sandwiches, toast or simple cheese on toast.
Why choose this seeded protein bread?
Two slices make a satisfying base for cream cheese and salami or any filling you prefer, keeping you in ketosis while giving you the satisfaction of real bread. The seeds add crunch and flavor, and the loaf toasts beautifully for sandwiches or cheese on toast. If you find yourself reaching for snacks after a meal, a proper low-carb bread can help you feel fuller for longer.
Suitable for many diets
This seeded protein bread is suitable for keto, low-carb, Atkins, gluten-free and grain-free diets, and it’s a great option for bodybuilders or anyone wanting a healthier bread alternative. If you cannot tolerate seeds for any reason, try the original no-seed protein bread recipe for a similar result without seeds.
Ingredients and where to buy
Most ingredients — eggs, full-fat cream cheese, mixed seeds, baking powder and Himalayan pink salt — are available in supermarkets. Whey protein isolate and psyllium husk may be easier and more economical to source online or from health food stores. Although they can seem pricey up front, they yield many loaves so the cost per loaf is low.
Ingredient brands and quality can affect the final loaf. Psyllium is a natural product and may vary by batch; some variability in color or texture is normal and does not affect taste. Check cream cheese labels for carb content and choose a high-fat, low-carb option where possible. Mixed seed blends are excellent and typically very low in carbs while adding fiber and healthy fats.
Use reliable ingredients and follow the recommended pan size for best results. This loaf contains no gluten or yeast, so it won’t rise like traditional bread — with the specified tin it typically rises to about 7–8 cm.
Preparation really is quick: once you’ve made it a few times you’ll be able to prepare the mix in about five minutes. Cool completely before slicing for clean, even slices. Toasting improves texture and flavor.
Enjoy!
Quick & Easy Keto Low Carb Seeded Protein Bread
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (about 160g net)
- 120 g cream cheese (full fat)
- 40 g whey protein isolate (unflavored)
- 25 g fine psyllium husk powder
- 1/8 tsp fine Himalayan pink salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 35 g chia seeds or flax seeds (whole)
- 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC (static).
- In a large bowl, combine whey protein, psyllium husk and sifted baking powder; stir or whisk until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, soften the cream cheese with the salt using a whisk, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each egg.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and whisk until well incorporated.
- Stir in the seeds and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture rest for a couple of minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky; if too runny, add a little more psyllium until it clings to the spoon.
- Grease a small loaf tin (about 18 cm x 9 cm / 7″ x 3.5″) with coconut oil, pour in the mixture and level the top.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the top is brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Because the loaf contains no gluten, it will not rise like conventional bread. Using the specified tin ensures the best result.
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or wrapped in the refrigerator for longer storage. You can also freeze slices for future use.
Best served sliced thin and toasted, though fresh slices are also very enjoyable.
Psyllium is a natural product and may vary between batches, occasionally causing a purple or brown tint; this does not affect taste or texture.
Use accurate kitchen scales for best results.
