A moist and flavorful keto-friendly meatloaf using almond flour as a binder to keep it tender and low-carb. Perfect for cozy dinners and easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (680 g) ground beef (80/20, preferably grass-fed)
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) almond flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar-free or homemade ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: handful of chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to warm up for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar-free ketchup with 2 tablespoons tomato paste and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, almond flour, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly using clean hands, avoiding overmixing.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×4 inch (20×10 cm) loaf pan or shape into a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press firmly but do not compact too much.
  5. Spread the ketchup and tomato paste glaze evenly on top of the loaf.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer; it should read 160°F (71°C). Alternatively, cut a small slit to check that juices run clear.
  7. Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice into thick pieces and garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve with keto-friendly sides.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat to avoid a tough texture. Use 80/20 ground beef for the best fat ratio to keep the meatloaf moist. Let the meatloaf rest after baking to redistribute juices. If the glaze browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Almond flour binder is key for moisture retention. For a finer almond flour texture, pulse it in a food processor before mixing. Variations include adding vegetables, cheese, or spices like smoked paprika or cayenne. Ground turkey or chicken can be used with adjustments to binder amounts.
