    Greetings 👋

    Today I am going to share one of the easiest low carb noodles you can make: Keto Egg Noodles.

    So let’s get noodling.

    💬 What are Egg Noodles?

    Egg Noodles are a kind of flat pasta made from water, flour, and eggs.  The difference between regular noodles and egg noodles is the addition of the eggs.  Hence the name.  They come in different widths and are usually used in casseroles, in soups, and as a side with melted butter.

    These are what classic high-carb egg noodles look like.

    💬 Are Egg Noodles Keto?

    Oh heavens me no.  The egg noodles you buy at the store are made from white flour and have 40 grams of carbohydrates per serving.  So no, not so Keto.

    💬 Can you make them Keto?

    Yes, you absolutely can.  This recipe is based on a great recipe that I found on Lowcarb-ology.  She really knows her way around a low carb noodle.

    🥣 Ingredients

    To make your own Keto Egg Noodles at home, you just need 3 ingredients: cream cheese, eggs, and vital wheat gluten.

    💬 What is Vital Wheat Gluten?

    Vital wheat gluten is a low carb baking ingredient that is all gluten and very little starch. It’s not technically a flour, but it’s made from wheat flour that has been hydrated to activate the gluten and then processed to remove everything but that gluten. It’s then dried and ground back into a powder.  You use it in Keto recipes to add the texture and elasticity that you find in regular white flour-based bread.

    💬 Can you make them gluten-free?

    Yes, you can skip the vital wheat gluten if you are gluten intolerant.  Or you can make a similar egg noodle using cream cheese, eggs, and low carb psyllium husk powder.  I’ve got a great recipe for Psyllium Husk Noodles on this site.

    📖 Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and cover a large rimmed cookie sheet with a Silpat mat. 
    2. Add cream cheese, eggs, vital wheat gluten, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend for 1 minute on HIGH. 
    3. Pour the batter onto the Silpat mat.  Rock the cookie sheet back and forth until the batter forms a rectangle. 
    4. Bake for 5 minutes, or until just set. 
    5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into strips.

    If you like this low carb noodle recipe, then you might like my recipe for Keto Lupin Flour Noodles, Cold Noodle Salad, or Psyllium Husk Noodles.

    💬 Serving suggestions

    This recipe is great with Tomato and Alfredo Pasta Sauces.  Just nestle the noodles in the sauce and heat for a few minutes until warmed through.  These Keto Egg Noodles steal the show in Keto Beef Stroganoff.  And don’t get me started on Keto Spaghetti and Meatballs.

    And did I mention that these Keto Egg Noodles only take 10 minutes to make?

    Yep, just 10 minutes.  

    So it’s the perfect low carb egg noodle, no matter how lazy you may be.

      Wondering if you can substitute whey protein for the vital wheat gluten?

      I can have gluten but wanted an alternative to white flour for making my own noodles. Pumpkin , almond chia ??? Can these be substituted? I just want a lower carb for my diabetes. White flour just can’t happen anymore for me.

        I don't recommend trying pumpkin, almond or chia flour. You can try egg noodles made with lupin flour or psyllium powder though. Here are my recipes for those:

        Both flours are available on Amazon.

      Have you tried adding something like onion power or Italian seasoning to the noodle when they are being mixed?

      Can you put these on parchment paper instead? Don't have a mat

        Yes, but a mat holds the batter better.

      Any tricks or tips for getting it off the silpat?

        As long is it is cooked through, it should be pretty easy to release from the silpat mat with a pancake turner. If it's not quite cooked, then it'll stick to the mat.

      Hi! Do you think these would bake well in a casserole? I’m wanting to make tuna casserole and these seem like a great replacement for traditional egg noodles!

        Yes, these would be great in a tuna noodle casserole. Here's my recipe for that. Just substitute in 2-3 batches of the egg noodles.

          No, but you can use lupin flour if you have it. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/low-carb-lupin-flour-fettuccine-noodles/

        Lasagna just "isn't" for me without the pasta layers. I was going to ask about using the noodles, cut larger, as the pasta layers. Mary-Ellen, above, answered before I asked. Is there anything special that I need to consider when doing this?

          I make the noodles the thickness you see in the photo. If you follow the instructions you'll get the same thickness.

        Did you know that I just posted a Stroganoff recipe? If not, then it is a happy accident. Here's the new recipe. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/low-carb-keto-beef-stroganoff/ It calls for psyllium noodles, but you can use this recipe for egg noodles instead, if you'd like. Just double the recipe and use two cookie sheets.
