Keto Bread Pudding

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my easy keto bread pudding recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.

Bread:

• Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix – Makes the perfect chewy, airy keto bread base! You will not need the whole loaf — just 10 slices. I usually use leftovers for grilled cheese.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk – You can also make homemade almond milk or use your favorite keto milk substitute.
• Eggs – Use whole, large eggs. I haven’t tested egg substitutes, such as flax eggs, but let me know how it goes if you try that out.
• Butter – I use grass-fed butter, but any unsalted variety will work. Coconut oil should also work, but I prefer the flavor of butter.

Custard:

• Heavy Cream – Adds silky and rich texture to the custard mixture. Feel free to sub full-fat canned coconut milk instead.
• Eggs – These are needed for the bread above, plus help the finished pudding hold together.
• Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – For 0g net carbs, this sweetener adds just-like-sugar taste to this iconic dish. In particular, it dissolves well, so the custard has no gritty texture. You can try a different sugar substitute if you must, but with other brands powdered might work best and the result may crystallize.
• Butter – Adds richness to the custard. Coconut oil may work as a substitute, but I haven’t tried it to confirm.
• Vanilla Extract – You could also try almond extract here.
• Cinnamon – For classic flavor!
• Sugar-Free Dried Cranberries – Optional, but if you like raisins in bread pudding, these make a good low carb alternative.

How To Make Keto Bread Pudding

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.

1. Make keto bread. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and milk. Gradually beat in Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix until a batter forms.

2. Bake. Spoon the batter into a parchment lined loaf pan and smooth with a spatula. Bake until the bread rises and has a golden top.

3. Dry. Slice bread into 1/2-inch slices and allow to dry for 1-2 days.
4. Cut. After drying, cut bread slices into 1-inch cubes. and transfer to an 8×8 baking dish.

TIP: Bread not dry enough?

If bread is still too moist, toast in a warm oven for about 10 minutes.

5. Make custard. In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream, eggs, Besti, melted butter, vanilla, and cinnamon.
6. Pour. Pour egg mixture over the bread cubes. Stir to combine.

7. Add berries. Fold in the dried cranberries, if using.
8. Bake. Bake until low carb bread pudding is golden brown and the custard is cooked through.

Recipe Variations

• Use different breads – While the keto bread mix is the easiest option and has the BEST texture, you can also use other keto bread recipes like almond flour bread, white keto bread, or keto yeast bread.
• Add other mix-ins – Try sugar-free chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts instead of cranberries.
• Make it chocolate – Instead of making the custard, use my keto chocolate pudding instead.
• Try other spices – Swap cinnamon for nutmeg, or add citrus zest to the custard mix.
• Top with sauces – Serve bread pudding with Keto Maple Syrup, sugar-free caramel syrup, or keto chocolate syrup… or even keto whipped cream.
