Keto Low-GI Spinach Bread

Bread has always been a part of many food cultures, and this Low-GI Keto version will ensure you never miss out while keeping glucose spikes at bay. This easy bread recipe yields 8 servings and can be prepared in less than 30 minutes.

How to make Low-GI Keto bread recipes?

The glycemic index (GI) is a value used to measure how much specific foods increase blood sugar levels. Regular bread is far from suitable for a Low-GI diet because it is prepared with wheat or grains, which contain GI indexes of over 55. When preparing Low Glycemic Keto foods, you need to be aware of all the ingredients’ glycemic indexes. Any value under 55 is considered Low-GI, but keep in mind that not all Low-GI foods are Keto-friendly, and vice versa. This recipe uses ingredients with a very Low-GI of less than 1, including almond flour, eggs, butter, olive oil, mozzarella cheese, and some Low-GI ingredients, including coconut flour (GI=42), parsley (GI=15), spinach (GI=14), and garlic (GI=30).

How can you serve this Low-GI bread?

This Low-GI bread is best paired with other Low-GI Keto recipes such as soup or salad. It also tastes fantastic with a smear of butter or cream cheese. Consider using this bread for mini sandwiches, filling it with grilled chicken, cheese slices, or deli meats.

How can you customize this bread?

Some ingredients in this recipe are constant, but others are interchangeable. You can swap the spinach for grated zucchini, chopped kale, herbs, or olives. Mozzarella cheese can be replaced with other melty cheeses like cheddar, gruyere, provolone, etc... Garlic can be substituted with onions, chives, rosemary, or thyme. Feel free to experiment with other flavorings as long as you keep the base of this bread the same.

    This is OK but the cooking time is way off. After 20 mins at 200C it still wasn't solid. It was only after putting it back in the oven after that I began to smell baking. After 25 mins I turned it down to 180C to stop the bottom burning. I got it out after a total of 40 mins and it was still on the lower end of being cooked. It's like cake, next time I'd go for 50 mins at 180C.

      It's OK. I'd make it again as it's easy for the lunch box but it won't be a regular. It's not actually much effort to make, just the cooking time is unrealistic.

      How did it taste, was it worth the effort?
