Noodles are one of the foods that low carb dieters miss the most. But luckily, these Keto Psyllium Husk Powder noodles have got you covered. They are super easy to make and have just 2g net carbs per serving.
Hello noodle lovers.
Today I’m going to show you how to make quick and easy low carb 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.
WHAT IS PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER?
Quite simply, 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 low carb baking in place of white flour.
ARE THERE HEALTH BENEFITS TO CONSUMING PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER?
There certainly are. It has been shown to lower cholesterol in people with high cholesterol. And it has even lowered blood glucose levels in Type 2 Diabetics.
And last but not least…
Psyllium Powder is the main ingredient in the laxative, Metamucil. This is a food post, so I am not going to get into the health benefits of laxatives. Let’s just stick a pin in it and say that Psyllium Powder is often used to promote “regularity”.
HOW IS PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER USED IN LOW CARB DIETS?
It is most often used as a low carb flour in bread and other baked goods. When Psyllium Powder is combined with liquid, it gels and becomes an elastic dough. The powder acts a lot like the gluten that is missing in low carb flours like almond and coconut flour.
AND YOU CAN USE PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER TO MAKE NOODLES?
You can. To make these nice, chewy, low carb noodles, you’ll only need cooking spray, Psyllium Husk Powder, Cream Cheese, salt and eggs. And I’ve included step-by-step photographs below the recipe to show how easy the noodles are to make.
THESE NOODLES CAN BE EATEN JUST LIKE YOU WOULD ANY OTHER NOODLE.
Add some sugar-free tomato sauce, and 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 Psyllium Noodles, the World is your oyster.

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/
Jamie Wynn says
Can I freeze these?
EmilyKrill says
I wouldn’t. They are 1/3 eggs which don’t freeze well.
Joyce says
I made these noodles today. Could I use these in a tuna casserole? Would they get gummy or mushy?
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Sure, you could use the noodles for tuna noodle casserole. Here’s my low carb version that uses Great Low Carb Bread Rotini. Just substitute in a few batches of the psyllium noodles and you should be good. https://www.resolutioneats.com/blog/tuna-noodle-casserole/
Herbert Holland says
Poops I miss read and only used 2.5 tsp lol waiting for it to cool completely …. It feels pretty firm I think it might still work …. Dang it lol
EmilyKrill says
Fingers crossed!
Sandi says
Can this mixture after it has baked be put thru a pasta machine to cut them into shapes?
EmilyKrill says
I have never tried this but my guess is that it can.
Sharon says
If you make a dish like lasagna or any other saucy dish and have leftovers, will the noodles turn to mush after a day or 2?
EmilyKrill says
No, the noodles will hold up fine.
Becky says
Will these work as lasagna noodles?
EmilyKrill says
Yes. Just cut them into wider strips and they will be great in lasagna.
Paul E Parker says
Are these extendable,for macaroni and other tube style pasta? If not do you have a recipe for them.
EmilyKrill says
These noodles won’t work for that, but you could try some from the gnom-gnom blog:

Stacy says
Can you save these after making or do they have to used right away?
EmilyKrill says
You can keep these noodles in the refrigerator for 3-5 days before using them. Just warm them with the sauce or soup that you want to eat them with.
Sandra says
Once the noodles are cut how do you use them? Boiled in water as you would other noodles?
EmilyKrill says
Once the noodles are cut, then they are ready to use as-is. They are not hard noodles that need to be boiled. All you need to do before serving them is to heat them through. So add them to soups, as the last ingredient, or warm them together with sauces.
Sherrie says
Hi 😀 do these noodles stand up in boiling water? If so how long?
EmilyKrill says
These noodles are fully cooked after you bake them, so you don’t need to boil them in water. But they will hold up well in hot soups, if that is what you are asking. They should be the last ingredient added to a soup, because they just need to be warmed through.
Jason says
I used parchment paper on top and on the bottom and it worked great. Why is the silpat mat recommended?
★★★★★
EmilyKrill says
Yes, using parchment for both the top and the bottom is fine. I’ve found that the silpat has more grip than the parchment though, so it’s easier to spread out on the pan evenly.
