Oopsie Bread Perfected! [Easy]

This easy less than 1 net carb bread recipe, also known as keto cloud bread, oopsie rolls is a favorite in the ketogenic community. 

Oopsie bread has a light airy texture made possible by beating egg whites and cream cheese.

The whites are beaten until they are stiff peaks and it’s what gives them their signature fluffy, spongy texture. It has a neutral flavor making it a great option when replacing bread in a sandwich. 

My recipe also uses egg yolk and a small amount of coconut flour, making it the best oopsie bread. 

What kind of name is oopsie bread anyway? Well, this low-carb bread got its name because it was first made by mistake, hence the oops name. 

Don’t you just love it when a mishap becomes a game-changer and is better than what you were first going for?

The original recipe from Dr. Akins is called Diet Revolution Rolls. Legend has it that a low-carb dieter mistook the original recipe’s cottage cheese for cream cheese.

Today, you can’t go far in the low-carb community without finding a version of this amazing, fortunate mistake bread.

Oopsie Low-Carb Bread 

Keto Cloud Bread (Oopsie)

There is no denying that one of the things most people miss when they first embark on a keto diet it’s bread. This is why this girl has so many bread options on the site. 

I did some investigating, and it appears that the original recipe came from Your Lighter Side ; this fabulous mistake gave birth to one amazing simple zero-carb bread. 

What makes this recipe special is how versatile it is and how it can be used easily as a substitute for a sandwich and can even be shaped like a hotdog, hoagie roll, or any shape really.

My version of oopsie rolls not only uses egg whites but also a little bit of coconut flour.

How To Make Oopsie Bread

You’ll only need a few ingredients to make this easy keto-friendly bread.

In the original recipe, there is no flour of any kind used but I found that a tiny amount of coconut flour gave the bread a better structure. 

The typical recipe for oopsie bread can be a little delicate and it’s why I wanted to beef up the texture with the addition of coconut flour. 

A plus when you want to use it in sandwiches so that it can withstand the weight of the filling and be less messy.  The only real skill needed is the ability to separate eggs and beat egg whites.

Another benefit of adding a little bit of coconut flour is that it allows them to store well in the refrigerator.

Customize Your Oopsie Keto Bread- Have some fun tweaks as you bake!

You can really have fun tweaking this bread recipe.

I’ve seen people substitute cream cheese for sour cream, and many more just add their favorite herbs and spices.

Basically, all you need to remember is to keep the egg to cream cheese or sour cream ratio the same.

Well, if so many were already customizing this type of bread, you know I had to do the same.

In order to keep things super easy to create and to have enough leftovers, I made a bigger batch than most versions out there.

I used an 8-ounce package of cream cheese, both beaten egg whites, and beaten egg yolks, plus some coconut flour for mine.

The addition of coconut flour makes for a better bread-like texture in my book. I also chose to bake mine at 350 degrees instead of the original 300.

I encourage you to enjoy experimenting in your low-carb keto kitchen. Whatever you do, don’t make missing bread a reason not to go low-carb.
