Hello, noodle heads. 👋
Today I’m going to show you how to make quick and easy low carb Psyllium Husk Noodles out of four basic ingredients. It is truly amazing what some eggs, cream cheese, and a little bit of Psyllium Husk Powder can do.
💬 Keto dieters often ask
Psyllium Husk Powder is a type of flour made from pulverized Psyllium Husk shells. It is nearly all soluble fiber, so this flour is often used in Keto baking because it has very few net carbohydrates. And it also acts like gluten to make chewier low carb bread.
One teaspoon contains 8g total carbs, 4g fiber, 0g fat, 0g protein, and 15 calories. So that makes 4g net carbs.
It has been shown to lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol, so it is great for heart health. And it has even lowered blood glucose levels in Type 2 Diabetics. It forms a gel with liquids that slows down glucose absorption in the digestive tract and so it improves blood sugar levels.
Because of its high fiber content, Psyllium Husk Powder is the active ingredient in the laxative, Metamucil. This is a food post, so I am not going to get into the health benefits of a fiber supplement. Let’s just stick a pin in it and say that Psyllium Powder is often used to promote “regularity”.
Yes, low carb baking is the number one use for the powder. As I said earlier, Psyllium Husk Bread is low carb, but has a very good chew to it, just like normal bread. In addition to Keto bread, you can make high-carb favorites like bagels and pizza crust as well. It is often used in conjunction with almond flour and coconut flour.
It is not only allowed on Keto, it is encouraged! There are so many uses for it in the Keto diet. In addition to baked goods, you can use it to make noodles. Let me show you how to do it.
🥣 Ingredients
- Cooking Spray- Aerosol spray cans are fine, or you can use the oil of your choice in a spray bottle.
- Cream Cheese- Use full fat cream cheese for this Psyllium Husk recipe because it's always a good idea to get a little more fat in when you are doing Keto.
- Eggs- Always use size large eggs when making recipes. That's the standard size that recipe makers use for their proportions.
- Salt- Regular iodized salt will do, but you can get fancy with your salt if you like.
- Psyllium Husk Powder- Make sure to buy powdered Psyllium Husk. If you only have whole Psyllium Husk, then you can grind it fine in a coffee grinder before measuring it out.
🟪 Purple Haze?
Warning: Sometimes Psyllium Husk recipes can turn purple. Do not panic. It'll taste the same but just have a highly unusual hue.
📖 Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with a silpat cooking mat (recommended) or a sheet of parchment paper.
- Spray with cooking spray.
- Add eggs, cream cheese, and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender and process until smooth, 1 minute. Add Psyllium Husk Powder and process for 1 minute more.
- Quickly spread the mixture onto the cookie sheet with a spatula. Spread the batter from edge to edge. Add a piece of parchment paper on top and use a roller to flatten out the batter more. Leave the parchment paper in place.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until firm, but not browned.
- Allow to cool enough you can handle the sheet of noodles. Roll the sheet of dough tightly and then slice it into individual noodles.
🍝 Serving Suggestions
These low carb noodles can be eaten just like you would any other noodle. The texture of the noodle holds the sauce very well. And if you add some sugar-free tomato sauce, you’ll have a 5g net carb dinner that is ready in less than 30 minutes. Make yourself some classic chicken noodle soup. Or even use the noodle dough to make a fancy Beef Stroganoff.
Once you’ve got this Psyllium Husk recipe, the World is your oyster.

I’ve made these before and they were good but I was wondering what size is your cooking pan. Recipe just says large.
★★★★
Emily Krill says
My pans are 17" x 13". That's standard "large".
Shelley says
I LOVE this recipe, thank you. I make often, I do several batches at a time, freeze in portions, it freezes wonderfully. Made sheets (froze also) and made lasagne several times. Add to soups. I have missed lasagne with an actual noodle!!!! They are VERY filling and satisfying. Thank you again.
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Sure thing! I actually used to have a pyslllium husk noodle lasagna recipe on the site. Maybe it's time to pull it back off the shelf!
Rachel says
Hi
Do you cook and then freeze? Or freeze before you cook?
Emily Krill says
You cook the noodles before you freeze them. These noodles are ready to eat right out of the oven. No need to boil them.
Mary says
Can I use Xanthan gum instead of the husk?
EmilyKrill says
No.
Tasha says
I am allergic to dairy, do you have a psyllium pasta recipe that is dairy free?
EmilyKrill says
I’m not sure because I’ve never tried this, but you could try using dairy free or vegan cream cheese.

Sam says
Mine turned out fluffy and eggs, different from yours, I wonder if it the type of psyllium husk powder. They still taste great, I put some beef and gravy over them, YUM! I think next time I'll add more psyllium husk. Thanks for a great recipe!
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Sure thing. I’ve noticed that there is quite a difference in consistency between brands of psyllium powder. Adding a little more should help.
JOYCE HEINRICH says
These are such wonderful noodles. I make them often. Great texture and mouth feel. I use them with a marinara or bolognese sauce, and also in recipes. The batter is thin and You have to roll them out quite thin. Do two batches if necessary.
Well worth the trouble!!

EmilyKrill says
Thanks!
Rachel says
My “dough” came out very runny. Like a sauce. Any suggestions?
EmilyKrill says
It’s supposed to be a liquid. Just Bake it up.
Joyice says
I am looking for a low carb pasta to make Mac and cheese. Can you use these for that? If not do you have one that I can use for that?
EmilyKrill says
When I make mac and cheese I use a low carb penne noodle that ThinSlim Foods makes. Here's my recipe. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/real-mac-and-cheese/
GVKW says
Great Low Carb Bread Company has low carb elbow macaronis. 7g net carbs per serving.
EmilyKrill says
I eat these sometimes as a treat, but I think that the carb count is actually higher than what they list. I'm diabetic so I have to take insulin for everything that I eat. I've noticed that I need enough insulin to cover about 30g carbs per serving.
Mary says
Miracle Noodles. You can buy them at Walmart in the refrigerator section.
Jamie Wynn says
Can I freeze these?
EmilyKrill says
I wouldn’t. They are 1/3 eggs which don’t freeze well.
