What is Keto Soul Bread?
Keto Soul Bread is a low-carb, high protein bread recipe (almost carnivore bread) that’s soft, fluffy, and perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply slathering with butter. Unlike traditional keto breads that rely on almond or coconut flour, this recipe uses whey protein isolate as the primary dry ingredient, giving it an ultra-light texture without the grainy bite. It’s a fantastic option for those who prefer a nut-free, flourless keto bread that is best for sandwiches and grilled cheese toasties.
Why This Recipe is Better Than Others
Many keto bread recipes can be dense, eggy, or dry. This recipe avoids all of that by balancing fats, and protein. The result? A light, airy loaf with a perfect chew and no funky aftertaste. Plus, it’s super easy to make with basic ingredients and no fancy techniques. We did do another variation of this protein bread with our F.U.Bread in Fed Up Fast 4.0 Meal Plans and ebook. It is equally as awesome too!
This recipe is just a simple adaptation of Souls Song – Soul Bread.
The Ingredients
Pro Tips for Perfect Keto Soul Bread
Store Properly – Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze in slices.
Don’t Overmix – Stir gently when combining wet and dry ingredients.
Use a Metal Loaf Tin – Choosing the right baking pan for low carb bread recipes hhelps with even baking and prevents soggy bottoms. Using a metal baking dish helps with the heat conductivity and results in a better rise.
Let it Cool Fully – Keto bread sets as it cools, so slice only when completely cooled.
How To Make It
Step 1: Melt butter and cream cheese together. Stir until smooth.
Step 2: Whisk eggs, oil, and cream into the melted mixture.
Step 3: Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Step 4: Fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined.
Step 5: Pour into the loaf pan and smooth the top.
Step 6: Bake at 160°C fan for 45 minutes or until golden.
Step 7: Cool completely before slicing.

Hi, I clicked the link to ‘Soul Almond Flour bread’ and it took me to this recipe that has no almond flour in it?
I am not sure what link you refer to? This bread definitely has no almond flour.
This bread is so easy to make and tastes amazing, it’s my favourite bread and makes the most delicious toasted sandwiches!
I really liked this bread. It was easy to make and tasted great. It was delicious untoasted and super yummy toasted and crispy.
Wow this is an amazing loaf of bread. Followed the instructions and it looks so impressive. And it tastes great too. Butter and Vegemite with a slice of cheese. Oh yum.
This recipe is great. I made it with WPC as I didn’t have WPI, and it’s just perfect! It does taste really nice! And toasts nicely too.Can u tell me what thickened cream is…is it heavy whipping cream?
Can this be made in rolls? I have several small 8cm and 10cm pans. If yes, would aim for 8? And how long should they bake for? Going to attempt loaf first. Many thanks
This looks so good and tasty. I will def try this at home.
