If you love a traditional Sunday roast with roast beef and gravy, you might be wondering how to enjoy it on a keto diet. The answer is simple: make your own keto Yorkshire pudding with almond flour!
Yorkshire pudding is a classic British dish that originated in the 18th century. It is made from a batter of flour, eggs, and milk, and baked in hot oil in a muffin tray. The result is a light and airy pudding that rises and puffs up in the oven. It then collapses slightly when taken out.
It is usually served with roast beef and gravy, but can also be eaten as a dessert with jam or custard.
However, traditional Yorkshire pudding is not keto-friendly, as it contains wheat flour and whole milk, which are high in carbs. That’s why I decided to create my own low carb version of this delicious dish, using almond flour and almond milk instead.
Almond flour is a great substitute for wheat flour, as it is gluten-free, high in protein and healthy fats, and low in carbs. Almond milk is also a good alternative to whole milk, as it is dairy-free, low in calories, and has a mild and nutty flavor.
Cooking Tips
The only thing you need to be careful about is the amount of oil you use. You don’t want to use too much, as it will make your keto Yorkshire pudding greasy and heavy. You also don’t want to use too little, as it will prevent your keto Yorkshire pudding from rising and browning.
I recommend using beef dripping, as it gives the best flavor and texture, but you can also use duck fat, coconut oil, or olive oil if you prefer.

This almond flour Yorkshire pudding recipe is very easy and quick to make, and you only need a few simple ingredients. You can use a muffin pan, a muffin tray, or a cupcake tin to bake the keto Yorkshire pudding. But make sure they are non-stick and well-greased.
The secret to getting the best results in making this gluten-free Yorkshire pudding recipe is to preheat the oven and the oil to a very high temperature. Pour the batter into the hot muffin tins. This will create a crisp and golden crust and a soft and fluffy center.
You also need to resist the temptation to open the oven door while baking, as this will cause the keto Yorkshire pudding to deflate and lose its shape.
The keto Yorkshire pudding will be ready in about 20 minutes, and you can serve it hot or warm with your roast beef and gravy.
Keto Yorkshire Pudding Recipe Variations
If you are looking for a very fluffy Yorkshire pudding recipe, you might prefer my recipe for Keto Yorkshire Pudding with Arrowroot recipe.
Please note the differences between the 2 recipes below (this is my personal opinion and not everyone might agree):
The difference in taste between the two recipes is mainly due to the type of flour used. Almond flour has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor, while arrowroot flour has a neutral and slightly starchy flavor.
Psyllium husk, which is added to the almond flour recipe, also adds some fiber and texture but does not affect the taste much.
Some people may prefer the almond flour and psyllium husk recipe, as it is lower in carbs and has a more complex flavor.
Some people may prefer the arrowroot flour recipe, as it is closer to the traditional Yorkshire pudding and has a lighter and smoother texture.
It may also depend on the type of gravy and meat you serve with the keto Yorkshire pudding, as they can enhance or contrast the flavor of the flour.
Ultimately, the best way to find out which recipe you like better is to try them both and see for yourself. You can find my Keto Yorkshire Pudding with Arrowroot recipe HERE.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does Yorkshire pudding taste like?
A: It tastes like a savory pancake with a crispy outside and a soft inside. It is usually served with roast beef and gravy, but can also be eaten as a dessert with jam or custard. Some people describe it as “very light” and “fluffy”, while others say it is “buttery” and “chewy”.
Q: What is the difference between almond flour and almond meal?
A: Almond flour and almond meal are both made from ground almonds, but they have different textures and uses. Almond flour is finer and blanched, which means the skins are removed. Almond meal is coarser and unblanched, which means the skins are left on. Almond flour is better for making keto Yorkshire puddings, as it gives a lighter and smoother texture. An almond meal is better for making crusts, cookies, or breads, as it gives a crunchier and nuttier texture.
Q: Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour for keto Yorkshire puddings?
A: Coconut flour is another low-carb and gluten-free flour that you can use for keto baking. It is not a good substitute for almond flour in keto Yorkshire puddings. Coconut flour is very absorbent and dense, which means you need to use less of it and more liquid and eggs. Almond flour is more similar to purpose flour in terms of consistency and binding properties, which makes it ideal for keto Yorkshire puddings. If you use coconut flour instead of almond flour, you may end up with dry and crumbly keto Yorkshire puddings.

A: The nutritional values of your keto Yorkshire puddings depend on the ingredients and quantities you use for each recipe.
