Keto Bread Crumbs
Make crispy keto bread crumbs in minutes using almond flour, ground flaxseed, and savory herbs. This versatile low-carb blend provides a golden crunch for chicken, fish, or meatballs.
Equipment
- Glass jar with lid
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour (50g)
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed (55g)
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast (35g or 1 cup / 90g grated parmesan)
- 1/3 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning inside a clean, dry glass jar. The dry ingredients should sit loosely in the container without packing down.
- Fasten the lid securely and shake the jar vigorously for several seconds until the mixture is uniform. A consistent golden-flecked color with evenly dispersed herbs indicates the dry blend is ready for immediate cooking or storage.
Notes
Storage: Keep the dry breadcrumb mixture in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dark pantry or in the refrigerator to keep the natural seed oils fresh and prevent bitterness.
Cooking cue: When pan-frying breaded proteins, use medium to medium-low heat because almond flour browns much faster than traditional wheat flour.
Adhesion tip: Always pat meats completely dry with paper towels before dipping in egg wash and pressing firmly into the breadcrumbs so the coating adheres securely.
