No (or very low) carb alternatives to toast

What a great idea! I'm GF and that sounds like a great alternative to the crappy GF toast I buy.

What about these, using whole wheat pastry dough or even einkorn?? They turn out pretty well and toast nicely

Wouldn’t whole wheat bagels be the opposite of low carb?

I don't have any good suggestions for you, but I feel for you, OP. I also have reactive hypoglycemia when pregnant. I actually fainted from low blood sugar after the GD test.

Part of your issue with your current breakfast may be the lack of protein. You might be able to better tolerate the bread and almond butter if you also had something with protein, like a protein shake or yogurt.

I like greek yogurt with chia and a little bit of honey for breakfast. You could swap the honey for almond butter. It won't be warm like toast, but you'll get the almond butter flavor.

I'd also try cloud bread.

OP. I like carbs and bread too! I started crying at lunchtime because I just want to eat a sandwich. Low blood sugar does strange things to a woman.

Thank you for all the suggestions.

I would probably cry too in your situation! I hope you find a low carb/keto bread that works for you and are able to get back to your favourite toast after you give birth!

Maybe try this almond butter bread (with more almond butter on top)?

Use thick cheese slices and put almond butter on it.
You will get used to it and it is really low carb.

I love almond or peanut butter on apples or celery. Add raisins for ants on a log.

I tried switching the WW toast for Ezekiel bread but it's still too much for me, and I'm finding swapping to eggs for breakfast really depressing -- my toast and tea has been a warm cozy hug to myself every morning for a long long time. Any suggestions for what I can spread my almond butter on that will feel at least a little bit similar?

I add almond flour and they don't taste or feel eggy at all. I use a cute little dash waffle maker, and split a batch into two waffles (one will overflow; learned this the hard way). Perfect for your "toast" w/ tea.

Then I started getting pre-diabetic markers, and my doctor said I should not be having fruit and bread as my first meal and recommended that I think of breakfast as lunch instead. I was SO opposed to that, fought it for so long. Then I started intermittent fasting, and my breakfast shifted to 12pm, and kind of accidentally I started skipping the toast meal and instead just had lunch -- eg salad at the office, or leftovers or omelet at home. And it's been SO great. It's an easy way to cut calories, I have far fewer sugar cravings through the day, and my pre-diabetes has receded. Highly recommend that you just rethink breakfast altogether.

OP is pregnant! FCS

The "recipe" I use:

3T whole eggs (https://vitalfarms.com/pasture-raised-liquid-whole-eggs/)
2T almond flour (amazon.com/dp/B07L9Q45HG)
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella

That's it. Baking powder might make them fluffier, but if you're going for toast texture, probably not necessary.

Just do it in two batches, or you'll have a mess. If you only want one, you can fridge the other and toast it for tomorrow's toast. Hope that helps!

GG crackers? They kind of taste like cardboard but very low carb.

I like these cauliflower thins from Trader Joes. I toast them like bread.
