Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This Keto breadsticks recipe is unique due to its simplicity and the minimal ingredients required. Not only does it align perfectly with ketogenic guidelines, but it also delivers a chewy, delightful texture that complements various meals.

Ingredients Notes
The main ingredients include almond flour and mozzarella cheese, both of which you can source from your local grocery store or order online. Almond flour provides that nutty flavor without the carbs, and mozzarella gives the breadsticks a delightful stretch. If you’re unable to find almond flour, coconut flour can be a decent substitute, though it might alter the texture slightly.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute the baking powder evenly.

Step 3
Melt mozzarella cheese in the microwave or a double boiler until it is soft and quite pliable. Make sure it doesn’t brown or overheat.
Step 4
Add the melted mozzarella cheese to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. It should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Step 5
Shape the dough into breadsticks and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Storage Options
To keep your breadsticks fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and freeze. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes for the best texture.
Variations & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the batter for an exquisite flavor. A sprinkle of Parmesan on top before baking introduces a delightful crunch and additional taste. If you have dietary restrictions, experiment with different flour types, keeping in mind that the results might vary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour? Yes, you can use coconut flour, but adjust the quantity since coconut flour absorbs more liquid. Typically, you’d use about 1/3 cup of coconut flour to replace 1 cup of almond flour. However, expect the texture to be denser.
How do I know when the breadsticks are done baking? Look for a golden-brown color and a firm exterior when lightly tapped. They should be ready after 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven. If you’re unsure, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
What should I serve with these Keto breadsticks? These breadsticks pair wonderfully with any low-carb soup or salad. They also make a great snack on their own when served with a side of marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping.
