French Toast Egg Loaf

Servings: 8

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 40-50 Minutes

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese, softened/melted
8 large eggs
4 Tablespoon butter, melted
6 tablespoons of coconut flour, leveled or 1/3 cup almond flour, packed lightly
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg, optional
1 Tablespoon sweetener of choice, I use sucralose, Stevia or Truvia
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tsp maple extract, optional

💡 CWT Tip: If you prefer a more custard style loaf for a dessert, remove the flour and baking powder and continue with the recipe as normal.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Prepare a 9x3" loaf/bread pan or 11×7 baking dish by greasing the bottom with butter or baking spray - Be sure to check your can for nutritional facts as some may carry additional carbs and fats.

Add cream cheese, and butter into a bowl. Melt in microwave for 1 minute.

Add in eggs, spices, almond flour and sweetener of choice. Blend until smooth and a liquid consistency.

Pour into prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle top with cinnamon and or nutmeg if you wish this is completely optional.

Bake at 350 for 40 -50 minutes for 9x3" loaf/bread pan; or 30 minutes for 11x7" baking dish.

Place a skewer in the center; it should come out clean.

Let the loaf sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. This helps keep its perfect shape and stops it from sinking in the middle.

Drizzle with sugar free maple syrup, and top with fresh berries and a light dusting of extra cinnamon.

Refrigerate remaining loaf covered tightly for up to 4 days.

Notes:

The egg loaf will puff up significantly while baking, so be sure your pan is deep enough to prevent overflow. It will also deflate and settle as it cools. I always put my loaf pan on a baking sheet for extra measure and less hassle of overflows in the oven. You'll thank me later!
This recipe is mildly sweet to pair well with sugar-free syrup. If you prefer a sweeter loaf, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of sweetener.
To reheat, wrap the loaf in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. Let it rest for a few minutes to cool and firm up before serving.

For an even fluffier version, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff in a separate bowl. Then fold the egg whites into the batter at the very end. This will produce more stability in the center of the egg loaf that holds its shape and won't sink in the middle.

🥄 Tasty Serving Ideas:

Keto Toast or Pancake Swap – Lightly fry a slice in butter until golden, then drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup and top with your fave keto berries. Yum!

French Toast Delight – Add a pat of butter to a small frying pan, Whisk 1 egg with a tablespoon of cream in a plate. Place a slice or two into the egg mixture and coat each side. Lightly fry in pan until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Place on a clean plate drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup, and fresh berries. Welcome your new favorite keto French toast recipe. So fluffy. So satisfying. Soooooooo good!

Dessert - Drizzle with sugar-free chocolate, honey or fruit syrup, top with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon. Totally optional toppings... But it's one amazing way to have a dessert... ON KETO!

💡 CWT Tip: Storage - Pop any leftovers into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Want to make it last even longer? Freeze it! Just slice it first and you’ll have ready-to-go pieces for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, just thaw at room temp – easy peasy!

"Came out absolutely perfect! The top baked to a beautiful golden brown, and the best part—it didn’t sink at all after coming out of the oven! 🙌 I’m already looking forward to turning it into delicious dessert for a dinner party on for Valentine’s Day. 💕 I may have to make one before hand to hold me over! 😋 I’m so glad I gave this recipe a try—it’s definitely going to be a regular in my kitchen. I especially love that you can make it with either flour of my choosing, so I am able to make it completely nut-free for my son who is alergic to nuts.
