Equipment

  • Casserole Dish
  • Mixing bowl or jug
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 8 slices keto friendly bread
  • 4 eggs
  • cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup classic Lakanto (or similar sweetener)
  • 1 tbs vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • low carb powdered sweetener to garnish

Instructions

  • Coat a casserole dish with nonstick spray, then cut the keto friendly bread into cubes and arrange them across the dish. Keep the cubes in an even layer so they can absorb the custard at a similar rate.
  • Whisk the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon together in a jug until fully blended, then pour the mixture over the bread. Look for custard reaching throughout the dish, with no untouched dry cluster of bread.
  • Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight. As it rests, the bread should look hydrated throughout instead of floating above a pool of liquid.
  • Heat the oven to 375°F, uncover the casserole, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The top should turn golden and the center should hold a gentle, firm jiggle rather than ripple like liquid.
  • Dust the warm casserole with low carb powdered sweetener before serving. The light coating should soften slightly on the warm surface without disappearing completely.

Notes

Texture tip: Dry the bread cubes on the counter or gently in the oven before assembling. Cubes with lightly crisp edges absorb the liquid thoroughly without turning mushy.
Baking tip: Avoid transferring a chilled glass dish straight into a hot oven. Allow it to sit at room temperature briefly to reduce the risk of thermal shock.
Doneness cue: Gently shake the baking dish near the end of baking. A slight, firm jiggle indicates the custard is set, whereas a loose ripple means it requires a few more minutes.
Storage: Store cooled leftover portions in a sealed container in the refrigerator, and reheat gently in the microwave or covered with foil in the oven.
