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

💬 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.

Made these last night and spinkles the noodles with fresh parmesan and a little butter. Gling to try tonight in bone broth, can't wait. Used the wheat gluten did not fi them eggy.
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Yum, these noodles would be great in bone broth.
Dede says
Haha love your comments about managing expectations and this is called egg noodles. So refreshing! Can’t wait to try it!
John says
Can these be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge?
EmilyKrill says
Sure. That shouldn't be a problem. When you do use the noodles, make sure to simmer them in the sauce or broth for a few minutes.
Kerry Mclendon says
How can I make this using an 8 oz pkg of cream cheese?
EmilyKrill says
You multiply the recipe by 8. So it's:
8oz cream cheese
16 large eggs
4 teaspoons Vital Wheat Gluten
salt and pepper to taste
This would make a huge amount of noodles. You might want to think about using half of the 8oz box of cream cheese instead.
Molly says
So can I replace the gluten with almond flour?
(just kidding)
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Ha, don't scare me like that.
Dee says
Can these be frozen?
EmilyKrill says
No, since they are primarily cooked eggs, I don't recommend freezing them.
Debi says
I don’t like the taste of eggs at all. Does these egg noodles taste real eggy? I’m wanting to try this.
Emily says
I don't think they taste too eggy, but I don't hate eggs. I wouldn't risk it if you really detest the taste of eggs. It is the main ingredient after all.
If you are dying for some low carb noodles, I would check out Shirataki Miracle Noodles or Kelp Noodles. Here are some links to those noodles:

Laurie says
Could I use whey protein instead? Only asking cuz I have 5 pounds of it and no wheat gluten on hand
Emily says
No, I don't think that would help the recipe any. But it's perfectly fine without the gluten. It just improves the texture a bit.
Here, use the whey powder for this:

Lori says
Thanks for the recipe. I was just going to ask the purpose of the vital wheat gluten, but then read the comments. Can't wait to try this. Can you freeze these?
Emily says
I haven't tried it, but it should be ok. They are just cream cheese and eggs, and you can freeze scrambled eggs successfully. You should thaw them slowly though, leaving them out overnight. Here are some tips I found. https://canyoufreeze.com/scrambled-eggs/

“People need to manage their expectations a little bit”😂😂😂—OMG I almost choked on my coffee! Indeed-no truer statement than that❤️ Just scroll on and look for a gluten free recipe🤷🏻♀️
Emily says
Right? Thanks for this comment. You made my day.
S.t. says
But you know. Not like gluten won't kill a celiac or anything. 😂 gahhhhh. #celiacsawareness #glutenkillsus but excellent recipe. Sounds like all it needs is a similar protein and it's set to go! Thanks for the share.
Emily says
Or you can just skip the gluten. It improves the texture, but it isn't necessary to the recipe.
Nicole says
But, you know, stepping off a curb without looking both ways could also kill you. #selfresponsibilityawareness #theworlddoesnotrevolvearoundyou. Gah! Great comment though 👍
