🥖🔥 ZERO-Carb Carnivore Baguettes
Missing bread on carnivore? These zero-carb baguettes are the answer. Made entirely from animal-based ingredients, they’re golden on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and perfect for sandwiches, dipping, or enjoying warm with butter. No flour, no fiber — just pure carnivore-friendly goodness!
📝 Ingredients
- 6 large egg whites
- 2 whole eggs
- 120 g (4 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 60 g (2 oz) pork rinds (finely ground into powder)
- 2 tbsp beef gelatin (unflavored)
- ½ tsp baking powder (optional, helps fluffiness – omit if strict carnivore)
- ½ tsp salt
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a baguette pan (or baking sheet) with parchment paper.
- Prepare Pork Rind Flour
- Blend pork rinds in a food processor until they resemble fine flour.
- Whip Egg Whites
- In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. This creates the baguette’s light structure.
- Make the Batter
- In a separate bowl, whisk whole eggs, cream cheese, gelatin, salt, and baking powder (if using) until smooth.
- Gently fold this mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate too much.
- Shape Baguettes
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag (or use a spoon) and form long baguette shapes on the baking sheet/pan.
- Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool & Serve
- Allow baguettes to cool slightly before slicing. Best enjoyed warm with butter, pâté, or alongside meats.

❓ Q/A
Q: Does it taste like real bread?
A: It’s close! More like a soft egg bread with a chewy crust. The texture is surprisingly baguette-like.
Q: Can I skip the pork rinds?
A: They add structure and crunch. You can replace with more gelatin, but the texture will be softer.
Q: Can I make smaller rolls instead of baguettes?
A: Yes — shape into rolls or buns and reduce bake time to 18–20 minutes.
Q: Will they hold up for sandwiches?
A: Yes! They’re sturdy enough to slice and fill without falling apart.
