Recipe Roundup: 5 Grain-Free Breads
Bread was always a weakness of mine, and once I was diagnosed with type one diabetes, it became not only an issue for my weight but my blood sugar, too. After a while, I got good at mastering the correct amount of insulin for some of my favorites, but factoring in timing, what else is on your plate, etc. makes it a very tricky endeavor. I started looking into low-carb bread and have been sticking to them ever since. I even bring one of my favorite low-carb buns to a local burger joint. For me, avoiding a blood sugar rollercoaster is worth the extra effort!
Here are five grain-free bread recipes from low-carb bloggers from all around the world! Each one has just 5 g carbs or less! Also, check out our article 15 Great Low-Carb Breads for even more ideas!

The Ultimate Keto Bagel
Bagels can wreak havoc on our blood sugars. Figuring out how to dose for it wasn’t easy and every time I would wind up with a stubborn high for hours. I decided to look into making my own and there are so many recipes available! I particularly like this one, many that I have tried wind up tasting like eggs, but this one tasted like a real bagel. Coming in at only 8 net carbs, this recipe is a winner!

Keto Low-Carb Tortilla Chips
There are so many options when it comes to low-carb spreads and dips, but other than using veggies as your “dipper,” low-carb choices are limited. Sugar Free Londoner’s four-ingredient recipe is crunchy and flavorful and will leave you wanting more. And with only 4.8 g carbs per serving, your blood sugars won’t mind one bit.

Keto Bread
I have tried to master eating bread and taking my insulin. Sometimes I can actually time my insulin correctly and dose properly… and boy is it a feat! But I’d much rather have a low-carb alternative like the recipe at Fat For Weight Loss that only has 3 g carbs per serving. Aaron walks you through the steps so you can be sure that your time and money are well spent, and you have a beautiful loaf of bread as a result!

Grain-Free Stuffed Pizza Bread
This is the perfect snack or meal that would make anyone in my house happy. You can customize the fillings to get in some meat and veggies, too.
