This nut free keto breading can be whipped up in 5 minutes and is incredibly versatile. It is perfect for breading chicken tenders, fried fish, chicken fried steak, or anything else you would want to bread and deep-fry or bake. It is also terrific as a binding agent for things like meatloaf or any other savory recipe that calls for breadcrumbs.
Ingredients in Nut Free Keto Breading
Ingredient Notes
- Pork Rinds - The measurement in the recipe is for crushed pork rinds. You can buy pork rinds and pulse them in your food processor, or you can buy them already crushed. (This is the brand I use)
- Parmesan Cheese - I used a finely grated parmesan cheese. If you want to keep this recipe dairy free, you can substitute extra pork rinds, or blanched almond flour.
- Salt - If you are using salted pork rinds, I recommend omitting the salt in the breading.
- Seasonings - I add garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian seasoning to amp up the flavor. If you are breading a food that is already very flavorful, you can omit the extra seasonings.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can use this breading for anything you would normally bread with breadcrumbs, crackers, or Panko. Some of my favorite recipes are Keto Buffalo Chicken Tenders, Chicken and Waffles, and Keto Chicken Fried Steak
You can sub an equal amount of blanched almond flour. Additionally, you can also use golden flaxseed meal.
Since it has parmesan cheese in it, I recommend using this the same day that you make it.
