This decadent keto bread pudding is a rich, warm, gluten-free, no-sugar-added version of that classic dessert recipe. Cinnamony keto bread baked with a creamy keto vanilla pudding, topped with a perfectly sweet keto vanilla sauce – all with only 5g net carbs per serving.
What Makes This Recipe So Good
- Keto bread pudding is rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet, with absolutely no gluten or added sugars. The cinnamon gives the bread a little warmth that’s complimented beautifully by the vanilla pudding and sauce.
- It takes a little time, but making bread pudding is actually super easy. It’s mainly some mixing and then some baking, then more mixing and more baking.
Key Ingredients
Keto Sweetener – I used Swerve to perfect this recipe, so I can’t say for sure how another sweetener (like monk fruit or allulose) would turn out. If you decide to use a different sweetener, keep in mind that they don’t typically sub at a 1:1 ratio. You may end up with a keto bread pudding that’s SUPER sweet.
Almond Flour – It works here much better than coconut flour because it’s not as thirsty and won’t soak up all the moisture in the recipe. If you use coconut flour, your keto bread will turn out dry and crumbly. Almond flour gives you that perfect texture.
Chef’s Tips
- For a richer bread pudding, use Brown Swerve instead of Granular or Confectioners. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top before serving, too. So good, and SO warm!
- Leftover keto bread pudding can be refrigerated in an airtight container and kept up to 1 week. Just cut out a piece and pop it in the microwave to warm it back up!

I have made this so many times in the last few weeks. It’s perfection!! My husband asks for it almost nightly. I changed it up a bit and used different keto breads I already have rather than making my own. I use whatever I have that’s getting a little stale, cube it, and then make the pudding with ground cinnamon added to it to give it that cinnamon flavor. Makes the entire prep/cooking time less than an hour. I serve it with the vanilla topping (which I also add a bit of cinnamon to), Breyer’s Carb Smart vanilla ice cream and homemade keto whipped cream. This is literally the keto bread pudding I’ve been dreaming of!!
LOVE that! So glad you both have been enjoying! Thanks so much for the review, Anne-Michele!
Would it be possible to substitute coconut flour for the almond flour?
We didn’t test it that way so we can’t say how it would turn out. Coconut flour is pretty thirsty, though, so it needs to be paired with a lot more liquid than almond flour does. You’ll likely need to adjust the other ingredients in the recipe to account for the coconut flour.
