These Keto French Toast Egg Puffs are the perfect cross between cream cheese pancakes and all the delicious flavors of low carb french toast. They are quick and easy to prepare and make for excellent meal prep breakfasts throughout the week.
The Best Keto French Toast Recipe
Okay, so this may not be the traditional French toast recipe you are used to, but it is a delicious low carb French toast recipe that is sure to become a new family favorite. This one comes to you husband and kid approved. While regular French toast is made with some sort of bread, this keto French toast recipe contains no bread whatsoever. In fact, the main ingredient is eggs. You may be asking yourself "Eggs and syrup? Is she crazy?" and I don't blame you. But I promise you that after the first bite, you will be hooked.
How to Make Low Carb French Toast
There are a lot of different low carb french toast variations floating around out there. Keto French toast sticks, cloud bread French toast, 90 second bread French toast, keto French toast with peanut butter, gluten free French toast... the possibilities are endless. The common thing among most of those recipes is that they call for some sort of low carb bread recipes. Now I think we all know that low carb bread recipes can be really hit or miss. And when they are a miss it can be really frustrating because they typically call for expensive ingredients. Well, for this variation we are making Keto French Toast Egg Puffs. No keto bread whatsoever. They have all the delicious flavors of a traditional French toast recipe, but with the yummy texture of cream cheese pancakes.
The Best Keto Breakfast Recipes
When it comes to the ultimate keto breakfast recipe, there are a few different recipes that come to mind - Keto Sausage Balls, Keto Eggs Benedict Casserole, and Keto Chicken Fried Steak, to name a few. But when I think of the perfect Saturday morning keto breakfast, it is always going to include low carb pancakes or low carb waffles. Along with a huge plate of bacon, of course.
Low Carb Sweeteners
Now let's talk low carb sweeteners. Obviously, you can use you preferred keto sweetener of choice, but I will tell you my two favorite to use with this recipe, or any keto recipe for that matter. My two favorite sweeteners are Erythritol and Monk Fruit. Why? Because they are natural sweeteners and they are not known to spike blood sugar levels. If you aren't familiar with the ins and outs of erythritol, I have a post that gives the skinny. What is erythritol?
Keto Maple Syrup
I'll give you the low down here as well. I have tried a lot of low carb syrup brands. Most of them are filled with scary ingredients and can cause some serious digestive distress. In fact, I wrote a whole post about it. Eat This, Not That - The Sugar-Free Maple Syrup Edition
The keto maple syrup I used with this recipe is hands down the best sugar-free maple syrup I have ever tried. I use Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Syrup. It is very clean tasting and doesn't have any funky aftertaste. It has no artificial colors, no artificial flavorings, and it is dairy free, sugar free, gmo free, and gluten free WIN! You can grab some HERE.

Keto French Toast Egg Puffs
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 12 egg muffins 1x
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 (8-ounce) package full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I use this brand)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup coconut flour (I use this brand)
- 2 tablespoons granular Sweetener (I use this brand)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon powdered monkfruit, for dusting (optional)
- Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, for serving (optional) (I use this brand)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a silicone muffin pan or lightly grease a 12-well muffin pan.
- Combine the eggs, cream cheese, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, coconut flour, granular erythritol, and baking soda in a blender. Blend until the ingredients are well incorporated. You may need to use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender.
- Pour the batter into the wells of the muffin pan, filling each well nearly to the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the egg puffs have risen and are no longer runny in the center. Remove from the oven and let rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to slide each puff out of the pan.
- Before serving, dust each puff with powdered erythritol, if using.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

I would give this 10 stars if possible. My husband and I both loved these and looking forward to them for breakfast again tomorrow!! Kyndra, thank you, you’ve done it once again an we appreciate your work on our behalf!!
Dave says
If using Lakanto monk fruit sweetener, would you use the same measurement as the erythritol? Could you bake this in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan instead of in a muffin pan?
Lynn Marie says
Having a hard time getting them out of the pan but that did not stop me from eating one while still warm. Very eggy like the French toast I grew up with. Guilty of adding butter with my syrup. Excellent. Having for dinner tonight and probably for breakfast tomorrow it's that good.
Jen says
Wow, this is actually better than french toast. I have made 7 of the recipes in your Craveable Keto cookbook so far and every single one of them are crazy good. You are gifted, no doubt about it. I'm grateful that you share with us.
Gail A Gibson says
Can I substitute Xylo Sweet for the erythritol? Same measurement? These sound wonderful, can't wait to try thrm.
Jamie Gray says
I made these, they were delicious!!! They hold up good too in the fridge. I made them to have for breakfast all week. With little sugar free syrup they are even better. Thanks for the recipe.
Kars says
Made this recipe twice in the past 2 days... the first time I forgot the coconut flour, still good. This morning made the recipe correctly, really good, my hubby really liked them... texture is really close to traditional French toast .
Laura Regan says

Kim H says
These are amazing! French toast flavor and texture. I was pleasantly surprised after I tried the first one that I had to have a few more. I’ve already shared this recipe with several keto friends. This one is on point!!!
Kyndra Holley says
Thanks so much. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Laura says
This looks good although I would have to modify it since I am not doing keto. That way I could have 2 of them without going over my calories.
