Scotty's Keto Bread Mix Has Zero Carbs And Actually Tastes Amazing
/If you're a keto eater likely you've tried to buy or make low-carb bread. Most keto bread recipes have lists of 27 obscure ingredients, require expensive mixers with dough hooks, and a time investment of half a day. No thanks.
The other low-carb bread alternative are "keto mug bread" recipes. These have considerably less ingredients and take about 2 minutes of cook time, but usually are dense, eggy, and in no way resemble what the rest of the world calls bread.
I've been on a search for the holy grail of keto bread and I think I've found it. It comes in an unassuming little white and black pouch and it's called Scotty's Everyday Keto Bread Mix.
Scotty's Everyday Keto Bread Mix is a zero net carb keto-friendly bread that gives you the soft texture and delicious taste of white bread without the carbs. It is simple to bake (no kneading!) and Scotty's bread mix has 0 net carbs, is gluten-free, non-GMO, contains no nut flours, and is safe for celiacs.
Your house will smell amazing while the bread is baking and you can totally fool your friends or family into thinking you spent hours measuring, mixing, and kneading bread.
You can use Scotty's Keto Bread mix to bake a regular loaf of low-carb bread, or bake it into buns, cinnamon rolls, bagels, or even pizza crust. Gone is the feeling of bread deprivation on a keto diet.
In this post, I’ll share my experience mixing, baking, and eating keto bread. I’ll give you the scoop on the nutrition facts, show you a few of my low-carb bread creations, and give you a whole list of ways you can use Scotty’s Keto Bread Mix in your keto cooking.
Let’s explore!
My experience baking (and eating) Scotty's Keto Bread Mix.
Mixing and baking the bread is idiot-proof.
It couldn't be more simple to make. Just mix the ingredients, spread the dough in a pan (or use the 1-cup Souper Cubes as I did), let it rise for 2 hours, and bake for 25 minutes.
I remember watching my mom and grandma make homemade bread back in the day and it was an ordeal. Mixing and baking Scotty's Keto Bread Mix was super easy. No "my superpower is baking" apron required.
Scotty's keto bread tastes like REAL white bread.
I couldn't wait to slice a warm piece of bread when I baked my first loaf. It tastes exactly like pillowy soft white bread. I may have shed a tear of happiness.
I have never found a keto bread that was anything like real bread before.
It is soft and spongy and smells just like a fresh-baked loaf of bakery bread. The flavor, texture, and smell are spot on.
I begrudgingly gave my husband (who doesn't eat keto) a slice to test his reaction. We keto eaters sometimes get used to low-carb bread or cereal or other substitutes and I wanted an honest opinion.
He said, "it's better than regular white bread."
I wish I had a more colorful quote, but he is a man of few words. The bottom line, a non-keto eater liked it too.
Scotty's Keto Bread Mix is a little expensive.
The only drawback is the price. It's currently listed at $12.99 on Amazon (and they only sell on Amazon). Right now there is a $2 off coupon right on Amazon's sales page, so it brought the price down to $10.99.
That's definitely more than I would like to spend on keto bread, BUT it is worth the splurge.
I baked my bread in four mini loaves and immediately put three of them in the freezer. I knew if I had all four loaves sitting on the counter I'd eat it all in a weekend. (Freezing did not affect the quality of the bread at all.)
Finally I can make my beloved avocado toast with real keto bread! I drizzled it with homemade Sichuan Chili Oil.
My baking/storing bread tips:
Grease your pan with real butter. It makes the edges even yummier!
Definitely spread your dough evenly in the pan with a butter-coated spatula like the instructions say. I used my fingers and that's why my first loaf is kind of lumpy looking on top. It didn't affect the flavor, texture, or anything else. It's just not the prettiest loaf I've ever seen.
If you're not feeding a family, consider slicing and freezing some of your keto bread. You can always pull out a slice or two at a time and pop it right in the toaster.
I eat some keto sandwiches open-faced. It gives me the bread experience and helps my loaf of keto bread last longer.
I baked the bread in Souper Cubes (amazing silicone freezing and baking containers) which gave me 4 individual mini loaves.
How to bake Scotty's Keto Bread in 5 simple steps.
I don't mind spending time on a recipe but, being a minimalist, I prefer when things are simple. Baking homemade keto bread couldn’t be simpler with Scotty’s Everyday mix.
Dissolve yeast in water and add olive oil.
Add Scotty's Keto Bread Mix and mix for 2 minutes.
Place the batter in a pan. (I like to use my 1-cup Souper Cubes for 4 small individual loaves.)
Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
Bake for 25 minutes.
There is no guesswork, no kneading, and every loaf comes out perfectly done with no soggy bottoms! (Do you hear me, Great British Bake Off?)

Why eat bread on a keto diet?
People love bread!! Bread is a part of every culture and likely most of us grew up eating sandwiches, peanut butter toast, French toast, and rolls with Sunday dinner.
Bread tastes good, it's filling, but oh the carbs!
A typical piece of white bread has about 15 grams of carbs which is close to the number of carbs many keto eaters eat in one day.
I've tried to like low-carb bread made with almond flour or coconut flour but they are often dense and don't have the same texture, taste, and smell as "real" bread. I found it easier just to go without.
Scotty's Keto Bread Mix has really changed things for me, and it might for you too! It tastes, smells, and has the soft texture of REAL BREAD. It opens up a new world of low-carb food ideas for keto eaters.
Tasting good is one thing, let’s look at the nutrition facts and ingredients because carb count and quality ingredients matter too.
Nutrition Facts for Scotty's Keto Bread Mix.
Scotty's Keto Bread Mix has 0 net carbs.
A loaf of Scotty's keto bread makes 14 slices. Each slice (as prepared) has:
2.5g fat
2.5g protein
14g carbs
13g fiber
A quick look at the nutrition facts might lead you to believe one slice has 1 net gram of carbs - which is still amazingly keto. Because not all carbs are created equal, dietary fibers and some sugar alcohols can be subtracted from the total amount you consume.
Here is how Scotty's Everyday calculates net carbs:
14g Total Carbs - 13g Dietary Fiber - 1g Acacia & Xanthan Gums = 0g Net Carbs
Scotty's Keto Bread Mix ingredient list.
Each packet of Scotty's Everyday Keto Bread mix contains:
modified resistant tapioca starch
egg whites
psyllium husk
chicory inulin
flax seeds
acacia gum
xanthan gum
sea salt
modified cellulose
Dumping a packet of the mix in a bowl with some yeast and olive oil is definitely easier than trying to source the ingredients, measure, knead, and bake your own keto-friendly bread.
Scotty's Everyday Keto Bread Mix is gluten-free, non-GMO, and contains no nut flours.
If you choose to eat gluten-free (as I do) or are gluten-intolerant or celiac, Scotty's bread is a perfect gluten-free option.
This keto bread mix is also certified kosher, peanut-free, and is wheat-free.
Scotty's Keto Bread Mix is the first bread mix to feature modified resistant tapioca starch.
If you hear the words "tapioca starch" and immediately think "tapioca has carbs, it's not keto!" you are not alone.
However, modified resistant tapioca starch is a resistant starch which means it is resistant to digestion.
Instead of being broken down into glucose, it acts as prebiotic fiber, helping feed the good bacteria in your gut. It can actually help keep you in ketosis longer while filling you up and improving satiety
Health benefits of modified resistant tapioca starch:
improves insulin resistance
it is a good source of fiber
acts as a prebiotic for improved gut health
supports weight loss
Modified resistant tapioca starch can be a healthy part of your keto diet. Who thought eating keto bread could be so much fun?
Now you can have real, soft, buttery French toast!
What keto foods can you make with Scotty's Keto Bread Mix?
After you've baked your keto bread there are TONS of ways to use it for deliciously low-carb meals.
Keto Toast
Toast with butter, peanut butter, almond butter
Avocado toast (I'm crying with happiness)
Cinnamon toast - use zero carb sweetener and cinnamon
French toast and use your imagination for keto-friendly toppings:
butter (obviously)
Swerve or other low-carb confectioner's sugar
homemade blueberry sauce (I don't mind spending a few carbs on nutrient-packed berries)
toasted pecans, walnuts, or slivered almonds
warm coconut butter and drizzle on top
no-sugar-added peanut butter, almond butter, or other nut butters
cream cheese and sprinkle with cinnamon
You could also go savory and use herbed butter like this Rosemary Garlic Compound Butter recipe. It’s easy to make and delicious!
Keto-Friendly Sandwiches
There are a million combinations of meats, spreads, fresh veggies, and nut butters to explore! You probably already have your favorites but don't forget to use Google or Pinterest for inspiration. You can use the bread as-is, toast the bread, or "grill" your sandwich in a panini press or nonstick skillet.
peanut butter or your favorite nut butter and keto-friendly strawberry jam
roast beef with horseradish, red onion, and spinach
chicken salad (I like straight-up chicken in a can mixed with mayonnaise, but I'm extra that way)
egg salad
grilled cheese
BLT
Reuben sandwich with corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and keto-friendly Thousand Island dressing
DIY subs with cold cuts, lettuce, thinly sliced onions and tomato, black olives, drizzled with sub sauce or Italian dressing
ham and cheese with some stone-ground mustard
tuna salad
You can use the recipe for dinner rolls on Scotty's website and use them as a base for these hot sandwiches:
meatball sandwich topped with mozzarella cheese
pulled pork sandwich
keto sloppy joe's
meatloaf sandwich
I had a delicious piece of toast with the New York Times scrambled eggs recipe! So yummy!
Keto Pizza.
I love me some crustless keto pizza (and you can learn what pizza chains offer crustless pizza), but imagine real, bread-like keto-friendly pizza crust that’s not made out of cauliflower?? Happy sigh.
Scotty’s has a keto pizza crust recipe right on their website. You’re welcome.
Use leftover keto bread in these creative ways.
Not that there is going to be any leftover bread, but here are a few creative ways to use up your Scotty's slices.
Keto bread pudding.
Keto croutons (just cube day-old bread, toast in a skillet with a little olive oil, and season with salt and/or your favorite herbs)
Make your own keto stuffing.
My loaves had lumpy tops - my fault! - but still tasted amazing.
What do other people think about Scotty's Everyday Keto Bread Mix?
Not gonna lie, I buy most of my keto shelf-stable and pantry items on Amazon just for the convenience. One thing I ALWAYS do is read the reviews. I want to know what other keto eaters think about a product before I spend my hard earned money on it.
Scotty's Keto Bread Mix has 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
Here are a few comments:
Celiacerella says: "I have no idea what supernatural forces came together to create this bread, but whatever they are, I am HERE FOR IT. This bread is very very good and the closest thing I have eaten to actual bread in years and years."
Despina Spanidis says: "Initially I was skeptical that a zero net carb and gluten free bread would actually taste like real bread, but it does! So easy to make and you don't need any fancy equipment to make it. I absolutely LOVE it!"
CSMR Medic says: "We are so relieve that we found a bread that does not spike our blood sugar. We have very strict diets due to our health conditions and check out blood sugar multiple times a day. We had to stop eating bread but now we get to experience it again thanks to Scotty!"
LindaleeHI says: "I have been on keto now for a few months and have missed bread like everyone else. I have literally tried dozens of recipes and mixes and nothing comes close to “real” thing, until now. I'm so thankful that I found this keto bread mix. Not only is it delicious and smells amazing while baking, when checking my ketones on a daily basis and after eating a sandwich I was still in ketosis."
I hope you found my experience with Scotty’s Keto Bread Mix helpful. There are so many keto-friendly products on the market and many are less than amazing. I wanted to really sing the praises of one that has changed how I think about low-carb bread!
