What makes brioche bread different from most breads?
What is brioche, you ask? Brioche is a French bread-like pastry that is very light and airy in texture. Brioche bread attains its golden color, rich flavor, and fluffy texture by adding lots of butter and eggs to the recipe. Our low-carb recipe makes this brioche bread keto-friendly!
How long does brioche bread last?
The key to a brioche bread that lasts is securing the moisture of the bread by using proper storage techniques. Once your brioche bread has cooled after baking, the leftovers should be sealed tightly in a plastic bag, which will help your bread last for about 3-4 days. To keep your brioche good for several months, wrap the freshly baked and cooled bread in aluminum foil, then in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer. If you slice your bread before freezing, it will be easier to thaw in the future.
How does brioche bread taste?
This mouth watering brioche bread recipe leaves you with a rich, buttery flavor that is a perfect mixture of sweet and savory. This brioche bread has a flaky, yet spongy texture that pairs beautifully with a fruit topping, such as a blueberry sauce. Topping this brioche bread recipe with our homemade blueberry sauce will satisfy all of your cravings for baked-goods!
Brioche bun calories
A regular brioche bun recipe contains 280 calories per bun (serving). Our low carb brioche bread recipe contains 247 calories per serving.
What is the difference between brioche bread and challah bread?
Challah is a kosher Jewish bread, while brioche bread comes from the French. Challah bread and brioche bread look very similar, but have rather different qualities in both texture and taste. The high content of eggs, butter, milk, and cream give brioche bread a semi-sweet taste and fluffy texture, much like a pastry. Challah bread is typically spongy and buttery, with a flavor that is more true to a bread than a pastry.
What is the difference between brioche bread and regular bread?
Brioche bread contains lots of butter and eggs compared to regular bread. This increases the fat content, which gives brioche bread its light, flaky, pastry-like qualities as compared to regular bread. The higher fat content, combined with the low carb ingredients in this particular brioche bread recipe make this ideal for a keto diet!
Is brioche a cake or a bread?
Though brioche is rich and buttery like a cake, that is where the similarities end. Brioche has more break-like qualities than a cake. To make brioche more like a dessert, it can be made into brioche rolls, French toast, or topped our delicious blueberry sauce!
Does bread last longer in the fridge?
You should not store your bread in the fridge. Although it will delay the progression of mold growth, storing bread in in the fridge will cause your bread to go stale faster. Bread should typically be kept in a well-sealed plastic bag at room temperature to keep in moisture.

Low Carb Brioche Bread Recipe with Homemade Blueberry Sauce
Ingredients
Brioche:
- 1 1.09oz/31g packet Ancient Nutrition Keto Protein Vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 28g packet Burn Butter Natural Grass Fed Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 drops liquid stevia
Blueberry Sauce:
- 2/3 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 1g packet stevia/erythritol blend
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Other:
- Swerve Confectioners for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease the inside of a 6 oz ramekin with butter or coconut oil.
- Whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl, and pour them into the prepared ramekin. Bake until the brioche is puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the blueberry sauce. The fastest and easiest way to make it is in the microwave. Add the blueberries, stevia, and salt to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 6 minutes at 50% power, stopping to stir once halfway through. Once out of the microwave, stir in the lemon juice and vanilla. (Alternatively, you can make the blueberry sauce on the stovetop.)
- Serve the brioche topped with the blueberry sauce. If desired, dust the top with Swerve Confectioners to make it pretty.

Had a problem, my came out looking good but as it cooled it fell to half size. Can you offer any help or answers please
Michaela Maynard says
Did you use a whisk for mixing the dough? Using a rubber spatula or spoon won’t give the same result. The heat in the oven causes air bubble in the bread to expand and set. If they were small/not there the dough would rise quickly with added heat, but won’t set while baking, causing it to fall flat when it cools 🙁 We hope you will give it a another try!
Thomas Boehm says
New to the keto thing and don’t understand the reason for the protein powder for some recipes. Some mix it with almond flour and others like yours have no flour. Using just the powder make this recipe much more expensive. Can you help explain please.
Michaela Maynard says
The protein powder helps to give it body, replacing the flour component here. It also helps to add a bit more protein and fats to the recipe. The protein powder can be a different brand to save money– but still needs to be a keto friendly formula 🙂
Donna L says
sounds really good but keto? With the vanilla bean paste, the 1st ingredient is sugar which isn’t keto. Do you know if you can sub out vanilla for the paste?
Lara says
the amount of carbs in the vanilla paste is minimal and won’t typically kick anyone out of ketosis
Denise says
Ohmygoodness! This recipe is great! I didn’t have vanilla protein powder, only chocolate and all I had was orange rind. It baked for 20 minutes and was so very good. I used sugar-free blueberry syrup on it! Very good! Would make awesome French toast! Thank you!
Lara says
Hi Denise,
We’re glad you loved it even with the substitutions!
Adriana says
I made this recipe this morning with substitutions (because that’s what I had on hand)
– whey protein isolate instead of the protein powder
– cultured butter
– Lakanto instead of stevia
– frozen raspberries instead of blueberries
I made the brioche in silicon muffin liners, they puffed up and were done in 10 minutes. The resulting brioche were very dry, not buttery.
The raspberry sauce, sweetened with Lakanto to taste, did not thicken as much as I wanted, so I added 1/2 tsp cornstarch, yes a few more carbs. IT WAS DYNAMITE.
I will explore other flours to see if I can obtain a moister, more buttery product. Will be looking into keto cream puff options.
Adriana Gutierrez says
? One ramekin is two servings?
Kathy says
This looks delicious and thanks for posting it. While I would love to try it, the ingredients are pretty prohibitively expensive. Any decent substitutions?
Faith Gorsky says
Kathy, Thanks so much for your comment! We haven’t tried this with other products, but we think it would work well with equal amounts of your fat of choice (instead of Burn Butter) and your protein powder of choice (instead of Ancient Nutrition). If you play with this recipe please let us know how it goes!
