Keto Sweet Bread – Spiced Low Carb Bread

Share This Recipe

Here is my Keto Sweet Bread that is great for all year round, or even extra special as a Spiced Easter Bread. 

At the time of writing this it is Easter Saturday and I am very late at getting out this great keto bread recipe, but as they say good things come to those who wait.

This sweet bread recipe is based on my original Chocolate Cacao Bread recipe out of my best selling book Keto Eats. Seriously one of my best keto bread recipes the idea of changing it up a little to have something new to try and add to my long list of low carb bread recipes as well. I like to have a range of choice myself on the ketogenic diet as well as provide some variations for everyone else.

KETO SWEET BREAD INGREDIENTS

In the recipe card I have included link to some suppliers of ingredients found in this recipe. If you are lucky enough to have a local health food store that stocks everything then please support local business first. I love to support my local www.eliteheathsupplements.com.au as they are continually stocking more and more of the ingredients I want to use in my recipes.

1. Flaxseeds – in this recipe I have used milled brown flaxseeds/linseeds. The flaxseeds provide a delicious nutty flavour and dark brown colour to the bread. You can substitute for golden flaxseed but the colour of the bread will be more of a blonde. For those of you with a coffee grinder, Thermomix® or food processor capable of milling seeds it is best to buy the seeds and mill when you need them.
2. Sweetener – I use a lot of Sukrin sweeteners in my baking due to the low carbohydrate and kCal. In this recipe I have used Sukrin:1, which has a ration of 1:1 with sugar. If substituting other sweeteners, just check the level of sweetness to sugar and adjust accordingly.
3. Eggs – the eggs total volume weight add to the leavening of this yeast free bread recipe. Please weigh the total volume of eggs to achieve the correct weight. Please do not be concerned the bread will taste eggy as it totally does not.
4. Bobs Red Mill Baking Powder – I use this double acting baking powder in all my baking. Please find a supplier (there is one in the recipe card link) as it has various actions when both mixed and heated to help give great rise and structure in gluten free baking.
5. Psyllium husk powder helps to soak up the egg but can be substituted for chia flour.
6. The spice blend is based on a Speculaas spice mix. It gives such a great spiced flavour to this bread.

SWEET LOW CARB BREAD VARIATIONS

With this recipe I have made it just with the spices, and with brazil nuts. Any nuts, frozen berries like cranberries or raspberries would work well. Even some chunks of Vitawerx milk and white chocolate would be good. For all our “oily” friends some organic essential oils or extracts would also make for really tasty sweet keto breads. 

The bread can be sliced and kept frozen. Serve it as is, toasted or with your favourite nut or seed spread. Oh yeah I think a sugar free jam and double cream would be good too.

  Hi Megan! I made your Easter bread today and it turned out terrible! Very dry and it didn’t rise at all so very dense. I forgot to weigh the eggs but other than that I followed it to the letter. It was a very dry batter. What do you think I did wrong?

    It is of course hard to know but it sounds like the eggs. Weigh one egg and see how it compares. Egg are a leavening agent as is the double acting baking powder. It should be moist, well spiced with a slight taste from the cacao butter. Also the batter is wet and “ploppy”.
