Ingredients for Keto Almond Flour Naan
Main Ingredients:
- 1½ cups almond flour (fine & blanched)
- 2 eggs (room temperature)

Step-by-Step Keto Almond Flour Naan Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl:
- Add almond flour, salt, and baking powder
- Mix well to remove lumps
Add eggs, oil/butter, and yogurt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
ZaikaMenu Tip:
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Almond flour absorbs moisture slowly — resting improves texture.
Step 2: Divide & Shape
Divide dough into equal balls. Place each ball between two parchment papers and gently roll into naan shape.
Thickness should be medium, not paper-thin.
Step 3: Cook on Tawa (No Oven Needed)
Heat a non-stick pan or tawa on medium heat.
Place naan and cook:
- 2–3 minutes on one side
- Flip and cook until golden spots appear
Brush lightly with butter if desired.
Step 4: Final Touch
Sprinkle chopped coriander or sesame seeds. Cover for 1 minute to soften.
Your keto almond flour naan is ready 🫓
Tips & Tricks for Soft Keto Naan
