You never have to feel like you’re missing out while on a diet when you have this easy-to-make Keto Flatbread recipe!
Making low-carb bread is easier than most people think. It doesn’t take all day, and you don’t need any special baking gadgets or bread machines. All you need is a few mixing bowls, a baking sheet, parchment paper, and about half an hour.
This keto flatbread recipe has been my go-to lifesaver for years. It’s versatile and customizable—for example, I make it slightly thicker when I use it for pizza because I go heavy on toppings, especially the pizza sauce. I also make it thicker to use as a soft tostada or taco shell, so it can hold the weight of all the ground beef, tomatoes, sour cream, and cheese. For sandwiches, I roll the dough a bit thinner.
This flatbread uses cheese and almond flour as the base of the dough, so the flatbread tastes nutty and salty, with just the right amount of lift to resemble bread made with flour. Enjoy your keto flatbreads guilt-free with any toppings you desire!
Is Keto Flatbread Healthy?
This keto flatbread can be a healthy part of a low-carbohydrate diet when consumed in moderation, but it’s worth noting that this flatbread is high in calories and fat, as well. People who follow a ketogenic and gluten-free diet can use this bread as an alternative to store-bought options. It’s also suitable for people who need yeast-free bread. This flatbread provides a good dose of protein thanks to the almond flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and eggs.
Delicious Flavor Variations
I love to experiment with flavor variations when I cook, and my pantry is full of seasonings and herbs from around the world. That makes it easy to change the flavor profile of recipes to suit my mood or meal. This keto flatbread is no different, as the recipe lends itself to limitless possibilities.
Add a quarter teaspoon each of chili powder and cumin to the almond flour mix for a Southwestern flair. For pizza, or to accompany a pasta meal, use an Italian seasoning blend or some oregano, basil, marjoram, and thyme. Use “everything” seasoning (the kind you’d use on a bagel) to pair this flatbread with cream cheese, smoked salmon (lox), and capers. You can also go for a sweeter flavor profile by omitting the garlic powder and adding some cinnamon, nutmeg, and your favorite sweetener.
How to Make Ahead and Store
You can make the dough up to 24 hours before baking. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. Once baked, keto flatbread can be stored in plastic bags or other airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let the flatbread cool completely before storing. For longer storage, place individual flatbreads (or slices) in zipper bags and freeze for up to 2 months, thawing in the refrigerator before use.
Serving Suggestions
Keto flatbread has many uses, so let your imagination run wild. I like to top the bread with these Refried Beans, some shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack, chopped avocado, and salsa. You can also spread this 7-Layer Taco Dip on top of these flatbreads instead of using tortilla chips for dipping.
This flatbread is great for breakfast too, topped with Cheesy Scrambled Eggs or Air-Fryer Fried Eggs and your favorite cheese. For a healthy and tasty snack, pair the flatbread with Red Pepper Hummus and some cucumber slices.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour, plus more if needed

- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
