French Toast
Low-Carb French Toast Sticks
Crunchy edges, soft center, and way more satisfying than they have any business being.
These use either a quick 90-second bread or your favorite low-carb bread, then get coated in a cinnamon-vanilla custard and pan-cooked until golden. It’s one of those recipes that feels way more indulgent than the macros suggest.

Kev Tip
Let the bread cool a little before dipping it in custard. If it’s too hot or too soft, it can fall apart.
Portion Guide / Make It Fit
Light breakfast: a few sticks with berries.
Standard serving: 1/2 recipe.
Bigger breakfast: add Greek yogurt or a side of sausage for more protein.
This one works best when you finish it with syrup, berries, or whipped cream instead of trying to overload the custard itself.

Storage
Best fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers and reheat in a skillet or air fryer to bring the texture back.
Instructions
- 1In a microwave-safe square dish, mix the almond flour, flax, baking powder, salt, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
- 2Microwave for about 90 seconds, or until the bread is set. Let it cool slightly, then remove from the dish and cut into sticks.
- 3For a slightly firmer texture, place the cut bread sticks in a 250°F oven for a few minutes to dry them out a bit before dipping.
- 4In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- 5Dip the bread sticks into the custard, coating all sides well but not soaking so long that they fall apart.
- 6Heat ghee, butter, or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sticks until golden brown on all sides.
- 7Serve warm with berries, sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
