Lower Carb and Gluten-Free Protein Cheesy Breadsticks (6g Carbs + 9g Protein!)

Jump to Recipe

if you’ve been craving warm, cheesy, fluffy breadsticks that feel indulgent but won’t weigh you down, this recipe is going to be your new go-to.

these cheesy breadsticks are made with simple, real ingredients like eggs, greek yogurt, almond flour, and a touch of tapioca to give them that classic stretchy, bready bite.

they’re lower in carbs, gluten-free, and nothing about them tastes “healthy.”

the texture is honestly unreal because it’s soft, puffy, lightly chewy, and perfectly cheesy without being heavy.

the combo of greek yogurt and eggs creates the fluffiest base.

you get all of that soft, almost bread-like structure but without traditional flour or any funky gums or additives.

the mozzarella melts into the batter, giving you a gorgeous pull and golden top while the almond flour adds just enough body to keep everything sturdy.

you can slice these into breadsticks, dip them in marinara or pesto, or serve them as a cozy side with soups and salads.

they taste like comfort food but feel light enough for any day of the week.

substitutions + variations

one of the best parts about this recipe is how adaptable it is.

almond flour works great here, but if you need a nut-free option, you can sub 3–4 tablespoons coconut flour but know the texture will be a little change.

you can also play around with the cheeses.

mozzarella or italian blend gives the best melt, but cheddar, pepper jack, or a mix of italian cheeses all work beautifully.

for toppings, go wild with garlic butter, everything bagel seasoning, crushed red pepper, basil, rosemary, or even a little parmesan on top if you want a stronger bite.

they can go in a million different directions depending on what you’re serving them with.

storage

these breadsticks store really well, which makes them amazing for meal prep or quick snacks.

keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

you can reheat them in the air fryer or oven at 350°f for 3–5 minutes to bring back that soft, fluffy texture and the golden cheesy top.

they also freeze well, just thaw slightly and warm them up before serving.
