Perhaps you think I've gone completely mad by suggesting a low carb bread pudding recipe? I have to say it isn't something that I thought I would ever be eating on a low carb diet, either! However I was recently given the opportunity to try Love the Taste Bread by Thin Slim Foods. They have several flavors: Plain, Honey, Cinnamon, Everything and Rye, and I chose cinnamon!
The bread is very good – lightly toasted, lashings of butter – perfect! And at only 1g net carb per slice – I'm completely sold!
UPDATE: If you're looking for regular low carb sandwich bread, check out my NEW guide to buying low carb bread online!
But as much as I like eating it the “normal” way, the slight sweetness of it made me think of bread pudding. So I came up with this recipe that needs just SIX ingredients and I just know that you're going to love it! Oh and if you're looking for a low carb bread and butter pudding (as it is more commonly known in the UK), this is VERY similar. A traditional recipe would have raisins in, but I think that chocolate chips make a great alternative! Update: If you think you'll miss the raisins, try adding a handful of my homemade low carb dried cranberries instead!
How to Make Low Carb Bread Pudding
Cut the bread into cubes and place them in a bowl. Pour some unsweetened almond milk and melted butter over the bread – you'll get an instant cinnamon aroma! Leave the bread to soak for ten minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together eggs and low carb sweetener (Lakanto works well – I particularly like the golden version for this recipe).
Pour the egg mixture over the bread, and add some low carb chocolate chips – I use these mini ones from Lily's.
Spoon everything into a greased baking dish, and push the bread down so that it is in the liquid as much as possible.
Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the egg mixture has set. It smells SO good while it is cooking!!! Let cool for five minutes, then serve.
This is a fantastic dessert to enjoy on a fall or winter's evening!

I love bread pudding, and this looks like a great low carb option 🙂
Kim | Low Carb Maven says
Georgina, I haven’t had bread pudding in years. I love that this recipe doesn’t require me to make the bread before making. Simply easy and delish.
Sarah says
This looks like pure comfort food! Lovely! Can you buy this bread locally?
Georgina says
I can’t buy it from my local stores, no. But I love shopping at Netrition for all kinds of low carb goodies – including this bread. I’ve included a link at the top of the post. Enjoy!
AlisonJane says
We call this bread and butter pudding in the uk. It is my favourite pudding and one of the only things I miss whilst eating lc. Bread pudding is a very heavy cake made with leftover bread, dried fruit and less egg and milk here. It’s a VERY heavy cake. Each slice weighs as much as a house brick! We have yet to see any low carb products on the supermarket shelves here so I keep trying to make my own lc bread but not very successful so far. So lc bread and butter pudding will have to stay off the menu for me at the moment. 🙁
Georgina says
As I’m originally from the UK, I understand completely the lack of low carb products! But in truth I don’t buy more than low carb tortillas from a supermarket – most of it is from online specialists.
Kristi says
How big is one serving?
Georgina says
The whole recipe serves four people, so one serving is a quarter, I don’t have weight or measurements, I’m afraid!
CHRISTINA WOJCIK says
How much bread cubes does 6 slices make? 1 cup, 2 cups? Asking because I want to use some low carb bread I made that fell.
Georgina says
I’m not sure in cups – but one slice is 1oz, which might help?
Sandi says
I used leftover rassberry muffins yum thankyou my chooks were not happy they love muffins lol
Melissa Scalzo says
What is the equivalent measurement for 30 grams of chocolate chips?
Georgina says
30g is just over 1 oz. With these mini chocolate chips it works out to about three tablespoons. Enjoy!
Andrea says
Could this be made to sit overnight and cooked the next day?
Georgina says
I’m actually making this again this week – so I’ll let you know in a couple of days!
Georgina says
Having made this again (do you like the new photos?) I think it would be fine to make this the night before. But it really doesn’t take very long to prepare so you might not find that it is necessary. Let me know how it turns out!
Becky says
Can’t wait to make this we love bread pudding! Any chance you know a good sugar free icing recipe to put on top?
Georgina says
There’s one I made for my cinnamon rolls that might work! https://stepawayfromthecarbs.com/low-carb-cinnamon-rolls/
