FAQs
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so you would need to adjust the quantity and add more yogurt or liquid. It’s best to stick to almond flour for this recipe for the best texture.
Is this naan suitable for a keto diet?
Yes, since it is made with almond flour and yogurt, it is low in carbs and fits well into a keto-friendly diet.

Ingredients
Low-Carb Naan Bread Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (preferably full-fat)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Cooking oil or butter, for skillet
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the plain yogurt and mix until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add a little more almond flour until it is manageable but still soft.
- Shape the naan: Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each into a ball. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each ball into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the naan: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Place one dough round in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the naan is cooked through. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Serve: Serve warm as a side with your favorite dishes, such as curries, salads, or use as a wrap base.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic or chopped fresh herbs like cilantro to the dough.
- Ensure the skillet is hot before cooking each naan to achieve a nice golden crust.
- Almond flour absorbs moisture differently than wheat flour; dough consistency may vary slightly.
- This recipe is ideal for gluten-free and low-carb diets.
