Keto French Toast Muffins Recipe

Breakfast has never been this good – keto or not. Make this keto French toast muffins recipe to sweeten up your first meal of the day!

The History of French Toast

Fun fact: French toast as we know it actually pre-dates France.

Included in the Apicius, a recipe collection dating back to the 4th or 5th century was a piece of bread soaked in milk or egg that would be fried. Sound familiar?

While people around the world eat variations on what we recognize as French toast, it goes by many names.

Back in the fourteenth century Germany, you might have enjoyed a slice of Arme Ritter, which means “poor knights,” for breakfast.

In France, they call it pain perdu or lost bread. They used stale bread that would otherwise be thrown away, or lost if they weren’t soaking and frying it.

Other fun names you might hear include eggy bread, gypsy toast, Bombay toast, and German toast. I’m a little partial to eggy bread myself.

Why These Muffins Trump French Toast

Don’t get me wrong. French toast is delicious in its natural state. It’s fun to eat, even if you hate yourself a little afterward.

Making it, however, can be a royal pain. If you can transfer drippy egg bread from the egg station to the frying pan without making a splattering mess, you’re a level above me in your kitchen prowess.

This recipe is much, much easier. The egg mixture is poured over the muffin tins. You can even put your liquids in a nice measuring cup for optimal ease of pouring.

More importantly for a keto recipe, it’s not going to blow your daily carb count through the roof. As you know, that loaf of soft white bread you used to use isn’t going to pass muster on a ketogenic diet.

You must cast it aside in favor of almond flour, which won’t send your blood sugar soaring the way white all-purpose flour does.

I also pulled in some sugar substitutes to add the signature sweetness of French toast without the inflammation and ketosis jeopardization that comes with full throttle sugar.

Vanilla extract and cinnamon are perfectly acceptable (and delicious!) for keto.
