Fluffy Chix Cook healthy low carb and gluten free Keto Crumbs to bring you a low carb breadcrumb mix that is completely diabetic friendly—saving you from those old, high carb Japanese panko bread crumbs and high carb, gluten-filled breading mixes.
Do you miss the “crunch factor” and yearn for crispy, crunchy, “fried foods” in your low carb keto lifestyle? Yearn no more! Add the pizzazz back to your plate with Fluffy Chix Cook’s healthy gluten free keto breadcrumb mix. These low carb breadcrumbs add so much flavor and absolutely no guilt! The salty, crispy crumbs do not taste like pork, either. Swearsies! In fact, if you’ve been indoctrinated to believe that pork rinds are “pure fat,” please be sure to read our handy pop up.
Pork Rinds Are Made of Protein!
In the US, pork must be produced free of hormones (so that’s an extra good thing). Pork skins are minimally processed. There are only two ingredients in our bag of Baken-ets—that’s Fluffy Chix Cook’s current porcine heart-throb. We love Baken-ets brand because the pork skins are usually very light and fluffy—and big! Did I mention we adore unbroken pork skins? You’ll also find Baken-ets pork skins have a very mild aroma with fairly “blank taste,” which makes it a perfect ingredient in recipes and as a crunchy-cracker-tool, it becomes a terrific DDS (dip delivery system). They’re a blank canvas. Go paint your low carb keto magic!
Forget about deep fat frying with Keto Crumbs (unless that’s how you roll and you simply like the idea of deep frying until piggies fly). Keto Crumbs make great oven-baked low carb meats and veggies. Use them to make keto oven-fried chicken, low carb oven chicken fried steak, gluten free oven fried zucchini and yellow squash, and even oven fried green tomatoes. Fluffy Chix Cook has tried Keto Crumbs on fish, pork, okra, onions, turnip greens and rutabagas and we happily endorse our Keto Crumb Low Carb Gluten Free Breadcrumb Mix (Whew! That’s a long name!).
Keto Crumbs – Low Carb Gluten Free Breadcrumb Mix
Notes
This is an inexact recipe. It’s inexact because you can own it. That’s right another “own it” recipe! If you like a more tender, cheesier breading, add more Parmesan. If you like a heavier, tougher, more pork-tastic breading, go with more pork rind crumbs in it. Adjust the spices to your preference. Don’t add salt here because the pork rinds and Parmesan are both salty.
Fluffy Chix Cook a double recipe and store it in a large, empty Tone’s Spice Jar with the shaker lid (the big ones you buy at Sam’s on the spice isle). You can also keep Keto Crumbs in an old Parmesan cheese can or mason jar. Store in the fridge or freezer. Having low carb keto breading ready to go, makes oven-frying quick and easy! (You can also deep fat fry with these, but why have the hassle and clean-up? Grab ‘n’ Go!
Gluten Free Note – If you are gluten intolerant or sensitive, please be SURE to ONLY use certified gluten free herbs and spices. Grate your own Parmesan cheese – don’t risk using the “green can.”
Serving Ideas Use as a breading mix for proteins and veggies or as part of a crumb topping on casseroles.

Would these work as a bread crumb replacement for pan-fried protein? I’m specifically trying to make a low/no carb veal parm. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Yes, they work brilliantly!
Thanks! I’m really looking forward to trying this.
I’ve been seeing recipes that use pork-rind/Parmesan coating to fry things for years, but I never tried it until recently. It’s REALLY good! Thanks for the recipe to keep on hand and for tips on how to store and use it. And thanks for experimenting and sharing your results with us–it is so helpful.
