💡 Introduction
Looking for a delicious keto bread alternative that won’t derail your low-carb or protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF) goals? Say hello to Keto PSMF Bread — a light, fluffy, and satisfying loaf made with wholesome ingredients like whey protein isolate, psyllium husk, and low-carb flours.
Perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just a buttered slice on the side, this bread offers a serious protein punch (8g per slice) with only 3g total carbs and almost no fat or sugar. It’s gluten-free, dairy-light, and keto-friendly.
🧾 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup unflavored whey protein isolate
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup psyllium husk powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 large egg whites
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Pro Tip: Use a clean, fine psyllium husk powder for a lighter texture and better rise.
🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
✅ Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang to easily lift out the bread after baking.
✅ Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Whey protein isolate
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Psyllium husk powder
- Baking powder and salt
✅ Step 3: Beat Egg Whites
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. This will give your bread the rise and structure it needs.
✅ Step 4: Combine Liquid Ingredients
- Warm the almond milk and water together (about 30 seconds in the microwave).
- Stir in the apple cider vinegar. This reacts with the baking powder to help the bread rise.
✅ Step 5: Bring It All Together
- Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the dry ingredients.
- Pour in the warm liquid mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
Be careful not to deflate the egg whites completely — this helps the bread stay light and airy.
✅ Step 6: Bake
- Transfer the dough to your loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until the bread is firm, golden, and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
✅ Step 7: Cool and Slice
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, slice into 12 servings — or more/less depending on your portion preference.

🙋 FAQ – Keto PSMF Bread
❓ What does PSMF stand for?
PSMF stands for Protein-Sparing Modified Fast — a high-protein, ultra-low-carb eating style designed to preserve muscle while promoting fat loss.
❓ Can I use whole eggs instead of egg whites?
For strict PSMF or lower fat content, stick with egg whites. However, whole eggs can be used for a richer flavor (note: this changes macros).
❓ Why is my bread purple or gummy?
This can happen with some brands of psyllium husk. Use a light-colored, high-quality psyllium to prevent this.
