Why These Keto Breadsticks Are a Great Choice
This recipe uses almond flour as the base, a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour that’s high in fiber, protein, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. According to the USDA, almond flour contains approximately 6g of carbs and 3g of fiber per 1/4 cup, making it a staple in keto baking (source).
It also includes coconut flour, which adds structure and absorbs moisture. Rich in fiber and healthy fats, coconut flour complements almond flour well and keeps your blood sugar stable (source).
The combination of herbs—oregano, parsley, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder—gives these breadsticks a classic Italian flavor. The garlic parmesan topping adds a savory crunch without overwhelming the dish with extra carbs.
Ingredients
Breadsticks
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp parsley
- ½ tsp basil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 ½ tbsp coconut flour
- 2 cups almond flour
Topping
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp grated Parmesan
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, olive oil, oregano, parsley, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add them into the almond flour mixture. Mix well until combined.
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition. Let the dough rest for 1–2 minutes after each addition so the coconut flour can absorb moisture.
- Once the mixture becomes thick, incorporate the remaining coconut flour. Form the dough into a smooth ball.
- Portion out about 2 tablespoons of dough per breadstick and shape into 1.5-inch wide rope-like sticks.
- Place the shaped sticks onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- While baking, mix together the topping ingredients: salt, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese.
- After 10 minutes, remove the breadsticks and carefully brush the tops with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with the garlic-Parmesan topping.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp on top.
