When you switch to a ketogenic diet, for most people it is very hard to give up easy dishes such as bread and pasta. This keto seeded bread recipe makes the switch much easier, giving you the ability to still have sandwiches and toast.
This bread is similar to my famous keto bread recipe but tastes much more like real bread due to the addition of seeds such as sesame seeds and chia seeds.
Keto Seeded Bread
Having eggs on toast…. Without the toast… just sucks! So having bread for the occasional times when needed is a real blessing.
Expert Tips
Make sure when you make this low carb bread, that you place baking paper in the tray whilst baking. The first time I did this, was without baking paper. Trust me, this is not what you want to be scraping out of the tin. Low carb bread recipes can be quite tricky to remove from the baking tin.
Most butter found in Australia is grass fed for the majority of its life. The reason grass-fed butter has been pushed within the ketogenic community is that not many countries have access to good quality butter, and mainly rely on many grain-fed cattle from different parts of the world.
Butter from grass-fed cows is also much higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K2, compared to butter from grain-fed cows. As you can see, butter from grass-fed cows is a much healthier and more nutritious choice.
Kerrygold butter is the best butter to use, but here in Australia, Kerrygold can be expensive.

If you’re looking for ideas on what to make with this bread, I made a steak sandwich with this bread. It’s super delicious toasted as well!

One of my readers (Stephanie), who has made it over 20 times, sent some fantastic tips for this recipe:
- Adding *ground* flax seed works even better than sesame seeds, still, recommend sesame seeds on top
- Room temp eggs make all the difference in creating a higher loaf
- Toast before eating!! you should hear the butter sizzle
- I’ve always made this with salted butter and comes out tasting perfect
- Refrigerate after a day or two (max) in room temp, as I think xanthan gum starts to do something weird after that
This is the only keto bread I consistently bake to have around the house (and closest I’ve found to real bread), good for breakfast with some avocado or eggs! Also, really great for your digestive system due to all the fibre.
Thanks for the helpful tips, Stephanie!

Hi i tried your Keto Seeded Bread. I could still see glistening finishing on the texture of the bread when i sliced it. And also there are patches that looks eggy and paler in colour like egg whites….. Would be it be due to the oven temperature or time? I baked it at 180deg x 40min.
I toasted it with my airfryer and it its crispy on the outside and it tastes awesome…. the only issue is the eggy texture which also look quite discoloured from the rest.

Is it ok to leave the seeds out and what size pan
Hugues says
How much is a serving ? 100g ?
FatForWeightLoss says
1 Slice, everyone’s slice will be different, so to get super accurate you can add the recipe into something like cronometer, tally up all the ingredients and split into however many slices you made.
Naomi says
I know it won’t be keto anymore but can you replace some of the almond flour with buckwheat flour or a gluten free flour blend?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Naomi, I’m not sure it would be a straight replacement since those flours absorb a lot more water. You’ll have to recipe test this.
Sia says
1/2 cup unsalted butter can be replaced with grape seed oil? or other oil?
FatForWeightLoss says
I wouldn’t use grape seed oil for health reasons, I’d use olive or coconut oil
Sia says
And what is the harm of grape seed oil? Internet did not give an exact answer

OMG!! This recipe is the Bomb! I made this keto bread for my husband and of course I had to try the end piece to see how it actually taste (I am not doing keto). Anyways I substituted the sesame seeds with Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel Seasoning which takes the flavor to another level. Also, the recipe was so easy to make and using parchment paper is key…just flip the pan and there is your keto friendly freshly baked bread. Oh…we figured out the approximate cost to make it: $12!
FatForWeightLoss says
Fantastic Rae! I’m so glad you love it! Good tip using the everything bagel seasoning!
Franca says
Hi,
Recipe looks amazing and with so many great comments, I really want to try it. Has this been done in the instant pot?
Thanks 🙂
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Franca, I’ve never tried this in an instant pot, but you would definitely want to leave the steam seal to “bake” – you don’t want an omelette
Kim says
What can I substitute for the almond flour and what ratio?
FatForWeightLoss says
Coconut flour (1/4 of the amount)
Sesame Seed Flour (Same amount)
Sarah says
Hi Aaron, I’m giving this recipe a go.. I’m substituting Almond flour to Coconut Flour. Is 42.5gms of flour enough for this recipe please? Thanks
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Sarah, I believe that sounds right. As long as it is about 1/2 cup or a little bit more, you should be fine.
Mikey says
I can’t wait to try this recipe out! I like seedy bread, will adding more seed to the recipe, such as sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, mess up the over all product?
FatForWeightLoss says
Nope! This bread is pretty resilient
Lilyan says
Hello,
Can I replace the eggs to make this vegan? Can I use flax egg or chica egg instead? Thanks!
FatForWeightLoss says
I have tried with no success. I’m sorry.
