Your Whole Family Will Love Easy Cheesy Keto Breadsticks

Ok, I know sometimes my family doesn’t like the texture of low-carb baked items. But let me tell you, my kids tried these breadsticks and said they couldn’t tell they were low-carb. I think the secret is in adding cream cheese and cheese to the almond flour. The combination makes the dough really soft and fluffy.

Can you Freeze Keto Breadsticks?

I experimented with this recipe for quite a while before I decided it was ready to be shared. One of the things I did was try freezing the bread. You can freeze it. I recommend baking the bread to completion before freezing. Then lay the bread out flat a large ziplock bag. When you are ready to eat the bread, take it out of the freezer and put the zip lock bag in your fridge. Then let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Then warm it up by either microwaving it or put it in a toaster oven or conventional oven on a cookie sheet on a low heat setting like 200 degrees. I also found that after it has warmed up, I take it out of the oven and sprinkle a little more cheese on it and let it melt. Then it’s just as good as the first time it was baked!

Can Coconut Flour Be Substituted for Almond FLour to Make Keto Breadsticks?

I experimented with coconut flour to make these breadsticks. The thing to know about coconut flour versus almond flour is that they are not equal. Coconut flour doesn’t bake as well as almond flour. Also you can’t substitute the same amount of coconut flour to almond flour. One cup of almond flour = 1/4 cup of coconut flour. Coconut flour absorbs liquid much more quickly than almond flour and is harder to use in baking. So for these reasons I would not recommend substituting coconut flour for almond flour in this recipe.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Servings 6

Ingredients

3/4 cup almond flour
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded divided into 1.5 and 1/2 cups
4 Tbs. cream cheeses, softened
1 large egg
3-4 cloves garlic, minced or substitute 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 Tbs. italian seasoning
pinch salt
pinch pepper
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425-degrees
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Continue microwaving for 30 second intervals and stirring until cheese and cream cheese are combined. This happened at 2 minutes for me.
Add egg, almond flour, italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper. Stir. Use a spatula to combine everything into a ball.
Transfer ball to parchment paper on a cookie sheet or a silicone cooking mat. Cover ball with plastic wrap. Roll dough out until it is 1/4 inch thick.
Put cookie sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, take it out and sprinkle remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese over dough. Put cookie sheet back in oven for another 5 minutes and edges are golden brown.
Take dough out of oven, cut into strips and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve plain or with marinara sauce.
