This is a collection of 50+ keto comfort food recipes that are perfect for every meal. There are low carb options for main dishes, side dishes, breakfast, and even dessert. These recipe ideas will inspire you to enjoy your favorite old school meals without guilt. This post is ideal for someone who wants foods like mac & cheese, chocolate cake, and fried chicken, but not extra carbs! I include a mix of keto-friendly one-pot meals, slow cooker recipes, & quick meal ideas.

What is comfort food?

Comfort food is linked to nostalgia

As I mentioned in my about me page, I specialize in keto & low carb comfort foods. For me, comfort food is a type of cuisine that makes you smile. It makes you remember good times and people that you love. Comfort food is decadent, savory, and rich!

Why share keto & low carb comfort foods?

Traditional comfort food is filled with sugar and carbs 

Comfort food is typically filled with sugar, grains, and carbs! It’s not sustainable long term because it’s just not that good for you. So, I’m sharing these keto & low carb remakes so that we can have more comfort food without the guilt. 

What keto comfort food will you find in this guide?

You will find a recipe for every craving. Specifically, there are:

  • 14 Main Dishes

  • 6 Side Dishes

  • 5 Casseroles

  • 4 Carboholic Breakfast Dish Remakes

  • 10 Appetizers & Party Foods

  • 7 Desserts

  • 4 Snacks

Main Dishes

Whether you’re looking to satisfy your craving for fried chicken or chicken Alfredo, you’ll appreciate these keto-friendly options. The low-carb meatloaf takes me back to my childhood! I swear that my mom makes the best meatloaf and that even I can’t replicate it.

Besides that, you’ll find my super popular Seared Scallops & Cauliflower Rice Risotto! Plus, my Keto Surf & Turf.

Carboholic Breakfast Remakes

Even if you’ve been on the keto diet for a while, it’s hard not to crave a little carbs from time to time.

I’ll be honest, it’s really difficult to not have a delicious bagel or a stack of pancakes for breakfast most days!

That’s why I love making keto fathead dough bagels and pancakes. They are the closest thing you can get to the real deal with just a fraction of the carbs!  

This group includes some of my favorite keto breakfast recipes from my site.

But, I have an entire post with more than 12 keto breakfast recipe ideas if you’re looking for more.
