Ingredients for Keto Egg Noodles
I love this recipe because the ingredients are pantry-friendly and the results are consistently good. I always make sure everything is sitting at room temperature before I start, and that one small step makes a real difference in getting a smooth, lump-free batter.
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (room temperature) – I recommend full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and richness
- 2 tablespoons butter (room temperature) – my preference is unsalted so I can control the flavor
- 4 tablespoons almond flour – in my experience, super-fine blanched almond flour blends far smoother than coarser varieties
- 3 large eggs (room temperature) – pro tip: cold eggs cause the cream cheese to seize up and clump, so room temperature is a must
- 1 teaspoon turmeric (optional) – this adds a warm golden color that makes these keto egg noodles look beautiful in the bowl
Step-by-Step Instructions
I recommend reading through all the steps before you start. These keto egg noodles come together fast, and having everything prepped and ready makes the whole process feel effortless.
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). This lower heat is intentional. It sets the noodles gently without drying them out or making them brittle and prone to cracking.
Step 2: Add the cream cheese, butter, almond flour, eggs, and turmeric to a blender or Magic Bullet. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds. The batter should look pale, creamy, and free of lumps. If you still see streaks of cream cheese, blend for another 15 seconds. Do not skip blending as stirring by hand rarely gets the batter smooth enough.
Step 3: Line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper lightly sprayed with oil. Pour the entire batter onto the tray. Use a spatula or the back of a large spoon to spread it as thin and even as possible, reaching all the way to the edges. The thinner the layer, the more noodle-like the texture will be once cut.
Step 4: Bake for 8 minutes. The sheet should look set and barely golden at the very edges but still pale in the center. Pull it out at 8 minutes even if it looks slightly underdone. Overbaking makes the sheet stiff and it will crack when you try to roll it.
Step 5: Let the sheet cool on the tray for 3 to 5 minutes. Once it is comfortable to handle, gently peel it off the mat and roll it into a loose log. Use a sharp knife to cut your preferred noodle width. Wider cuts work great for soups and casseroles while thinner cuts are better for saucy dishes. Unroll and gently separate the noodles, then place them into a bowl ready to serve.
Optional pasta machine step: Cut the cooled baked sheet lengthwise in half to create two long strips. Feed each through a pasta machine set to a spaghetti-like width for thin, uniform keto spaghetti noodles.

Storage and Serving Tips
Store leftover keto egg noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend separating layers with a small piece of parchment paper to keep them from sticking together in the container.
For reheating, add the noodles directly to a warm sauce or hot broth and let them absorb the heat for about 60 seconds. You can also microwave them for 30 seconds. Avoid boiling them in water as they will soften too much and lose their texture.
These noodles also freeze well. Lay them flat on a parchment-lined tray to freeze first, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using. They are a great make-ahead option for busy weeks when you want a low carb dinner ready to go.
Conclusion
These keto egg noodles prove that eating low carb does not mean giving up the foods you love. With just 4 ingredients and about 11 minutes from start to finish, you get a tender, flexible pasta you can use in dozens of ways. Give them a try this week and see just how satisfying low carb cooking can be.
