Bread, bread, who doesn’t like to eat bread especially those that just freshly baked.
For Ketogenic living, we can also eat bread. But not the regular starch filled, blood glucose and insulin spike type of bread.
This Keto Power bread will give you the satisfaction to eat as a breakfast, or as a side dish with your regular low carb high fat and adequate amount of protein meal.
Here is how I make my keto power bread.
First I separate the whites and yolks of 6 fresh farm eggs, into two bowls. In a bowl with the egg whites, beat it till stiff peak is formed.
In the other bowl with the egg yolk, mix together with the collagen powder (good for your skin!), whey protein powder and fine salt. Below is the whey protein powder and collagen powder I used.
I prefer to add collagen powder for personal beauty boost purpose. I have been using 1-2 teaspoons of this ReserveAge Collagen Replenish powder for many years and I find that it helps to keep my complexion firm and clear 😀 (just a little beauty tips!). You can buy it here at iHerb.com. Or you may chose to skip it.
Gently fold the stiffed peak beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, in batches, until all are incorprated. Pour mixture into a butter greased baking loaf pan. This is how the batter look like.
And bake in the pre-heated oven at 325F (163C) until a wooden skewer pierced into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 30 minutes depending on your oven.
After 20 mins this is how it looks like. I checked it with a wooden skewer, it was a little bit wet, so I let it continue to bake for another 5 minutes.
It took me only 25 minutes of baking time at a higher elevation. You may need to bake for 30-35 minutes depending on your oven and your elevation from sea level.
After letting it cool off in the pan, remove the loaf of bread onto a plate. I think it look beautiful! 🙂
When the loaf of bread came out fresh from the oven, the outside was crusty and inside was soft and fluffy.
We ate each bite with a generous spread of soften delicious Amish Roll butter from Minerva Dairy.
The next day I used the sliced of bread to make French toast. Dip the slice of bread in beaten egg add with a pinch of salt. And pan fry it with Amish Roll butter (of course!). And served it as a sides with our dinner.
Guess what? We spread on more butter on the French toast.
Here is the recipe:
- 6 fresh farm eggs, separate the yolks and whites
- 2 tablespoons collagen powder (optional)
- ½ cup whey protein powder
- ½ teaspoons fine salt
- Pre-heat oven to 325F (163C). Remove the top layer of shelf in the oven.
- In a bowl, beat egg whites till stiff peak is formed. In a second bowl, mix egg yolks and the rest of the ingredients together.
- Gently fold beaten egg whites into the egg yolks mixture, in batches until all are incorprated. Pour mixture into a butter greased baking loaf pan and bake in the pre-heated oven until a wooden skewer pierced into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 30 minutes depending on your oven.
- It took me only 25 minutes of baking time at a higher elevation. When the loaf of bread came out fresh from the oven, the outside was crusty and inside was soft and fluffy. We ate each bite with a generous spread of soft butter.

Hi,Kelly.If I don’t collagen powder,what can I mix?
You can try to use whey protein powder instead.
hi Kelly,
can we do without Whey Protein Isolate? or is there substitute to it?
thank you.
Hi Klutzy, this recipe I do use whey protein isolate for the bread to keep the total carb gram to the minimal.
I have not tried substitute it. You can try other bread recipe I have that uses almond flour.
Whey protein is something new to me but this bread definitely looks tempting 🙂 I can’t wait to try this recipe, Kelly! A have a few questions – Can whey protein bread be consumed on daily basis? And how much can we consume in a day for a ketogenik diet? Can we offer this type of bread to young children? And lastly, when we purchase whey protein powder, what should be the ingredients list to look out for to ensure it is keto complaint, as much as I would love to know the ingredients of the one you use in the photo above as a guideline. I’m pretty new in Keto WOE. Sorry for so many questions and hope to get some advice from you. Many thanks!
Hi Angel, sorry for the delayed replied. This protein bread are mainly eggs and protein powder, and has barely any carb. You can certainly enjoy a couple of slices a day with butter. Just make sure you are not using any sweet spread for Ketogenic diet.
I don’t see why children can’t eat this. 🙂
You can Google for the ingredient list on this brand that I use and compare with others. As long as it has no any form of sugar or other fillers it should be fine. Keep doing keep tweaking! Keto on!
Thanks Kelly. I’ve just repeated this for 2nd time over the weekend! And thanks for your unconditionally sharing in your blog, fb and insta, as always. I enjoy reading them all the time. So much to learn:) Wish you all the best!
Hi Kelly, can whey protein be used for whey protein isolate? or is there an alternative?
I think it would be ok.
Would you say this is closer to “bread” than “Maria’s almond psyllium bread”
Hi Lynn, the both has two different texture. This one has a little more egg flavor and lower carb.
Made this the other day…it worked perfectly and was absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing
Yeah! Glad you like it!
I would really like to make this recipe but I don’t have any collagen powder. This is the first time I have ever heard of it! Is there something else I can substitute for it. If not where do I get it and what else is it used for please? I love you site and appreciate all your hard work to share with us.
Hi Dita, thanks for asking. You may skip the collagen powder if you wish.
I added collagen powder for the additional collagen. I will add a link to where I buy it from.
And if you do consider getting it, just that you know, you also can add to any daily beverage.
I have been eating 1-2 teaspoons a day for years. I find that it helps to maintain my complexion (with many other good food of course!) LOL…
What if I don’t use the collagen powder? Don’t really want to buy a (probably pretty expensive) item just to try a recipe.
Hi Juanita, you may skip the collagen powder if you wish. I will update a little more information in the content soon. Thanks for asking.
