I Tried Dozens of Low-Carb Keto Breads. These Were the Best

Oprah Winfrey once enthusiastically declared her love for bread in a viral Weight Watchers commercial. Even with a net worth north of $3 billion, her sentiment could not be more relatable.

While nutritionists have argued that carbohydrates are not the enemy, many diets and weight-loss plans including keto and paleo limit carb intake (or at least bad ones derived from sugar) as a quicker fix to dropping pounds. This has resulted in the new trend of low- and zero-carb breads that are made with a scientifically backed resistant wheat starch that's heavy on fiber and other nutrients. 

Low-carb bread has gotten pretty great in 2024.

Surprisingly, the result doesn't deprive loaves, slices and even croissants of the softness and bulkiness found in the original versions. In fact, most low-carb bread from keto-friendly brands are downright tasty and make a wonderful alternative to what you may be accustomed to eating on the regular. I sampled dozens of options to narrow down my top five favorites. Here's how they stacked up.

Pro tip: If you don't want to give up carbs completely but also don't want refined or processed white bread, an excellent choice is Ezekiel bread. Flourless, sprouted and chock-full of the nine essential amino acids found in its whole grains, this is my daily go-to. The brand also makes a killer English muffin, which I eat most mornings if oatmeal just isn't doing it for me.
