You’re going to love this low carb and keto BLT recipe. It’s made with fluffy bread (yes, I promise it’s keto!) and all the typical BLT fillings – bacon, lettuce, tomato, and of course, creamy mayo. No wonder my kids loved this one! If you thought a BLT wasn’t possible on keto unless you had it in a lettuce wrap or a BLT salad, there is another way! No matter what kind of sandwich you are making (grilled cheese, anyone?), my keto bread mix makes it easy and delicious. If you need an alternative bread, though, try keto chaffles instead! Not only is this mix fluffy and chewy like the real thing, it also has only 2g net carbs per slice and unlike others I’ve seen on the market, it’s made with 100% natural ingredients.
How To Make Keto BLT
This keto BLT sandwich comes together in a few simple steps:
Get Keto Bread Mix Here
Make the low carb bread for a BLT:
Prep. Preheat the oven and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Gather the ingredients you’ll need: Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix, butter, eggs, and milk of your choice (see notes on the milk options 2 steps down.)
Cream butter. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter – do so until it’s pale and super fluffy. This helps create air pockets in the bread later on.
Add eggs and milk. Make sure they are room temp so that they don’t solidify the butter. I used unsweetened almond milk, but any kind of keto friendly milk will work.
Add Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix. Beat this in gradually using your mixer.
Transfer. Spoon the batter into a parchment lined loaf pan (this size is ideal) and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake. Place in the oven and let it bake until the bread rises and is golden on top.
Assemble the keto BLT:
Prep. Let the bread cool completely before slicing it.
Assemble sandwich. Spread mayonnaise onto slices of bread and top with bacon, tomato, and lettuce. Top with second slice of bacon and other slice of bread.
Enjoy! These sandwiches are super filling, so a serving is half a sandwich. I like to pair it with keto soup or a low carb salad. It’s also delicious with some keto pickles.
How many carbs are in a BLT?
A traditional BLT, made with a flour-based bread will have around 40+ grams carbohydrates. In this low carb BLT, we’re using keto bread to cut down the carbs significantly – just 3g net carbs per serving.
Can you make a low carb BLT sandwich?
Yes, you can make a low carb BLT, you’ll just need to swap the bread for a low carb version. This recipes uses keto bread in place of traditional bread to cut down on carbs.
Can I use a different bread?
Yes, you can. I highly recommend my keto bread mix (shown in these photos) because it’s the easiest, fluffiest, and chewiest (in the best way!). But if you can’t get it, you can use any of my other keto bread recipes. The most popular are keto white bread, almond flour bread, or even 90-second bread if you need it quick!
Can you make it ahead?
Yes, you can make the components ahead and then assemble right before eating:
Bake keto bread from the keto bread mix here. Make oven-baked bacon ahead of time.
