In reply to Thomas boehm. 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!

In reply to Thomas Boehm. 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 :)

In reply to Donna L. the amount of carbs in the vanilla paste is minimal and won't typically kick anyone out of ketosis

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.

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?

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!

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.
