It’s hard to believe that this keto reuben sandwich has less than 5 grams net carbs, because it’s got all of the flavor of a regular one.

It’s the perfect simple dinner at home – or low carb lunch to bring with you anywhere.

Our Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix is the star of this sandwich, and is the easiest way to make keto bread at home. It’s fluffy and chewy at the same time, with air pockets… and it makes perfect sandwiches. We can’t wait to hear what you think!

How To Make Keto Reuben Sandwiches

These sandwiches can be made in two simple steps. I’ll show you how to make the bread first, then how to put together the reubens.

Make Keto Bread

• Prep. Gather the ingredients you’ll need to make bread: Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix, butter, eggs, and milk.

• Cream butter. Use a stand or hand mixer to cream butter until light and fluffy. This helps to incorporate air into the bread, forming desirable air pockets.

• Add eggs and milk. Make sure these ingredients are at room temperature or they will solidify the butter.

• Add Wholesome Yum Keto Bread Mix. Beat dry ingredients in gradually with mixer.

• Transfer. Spoon batter into a parchment lined loaf pan (this size is ideal) and smooth the top with a spatula.

• Bake. Bake bread until it rises and is golden on top.

Assemble Low Carb Reuben Sandwiches

• Prep. Let bread cool completely, then slice into 1-inch slices. Spread butter on each slice of bread (one side only!). Flip over so butter side is facing down.

• Assemble. Top the un-buttered side of bread with corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing. Top with another slice, with the butter side facing up.

• Cook. Add sandwiches to pan and cover with a lid. Cook until cheese is melted, bread is toasted, and fillings are heated through.

TIP: Cook in batches so you don’t crowd the pan. If it gets too dark, turn down the heat.

Low Carb Reuben FAQs

Can you use a different bread?

The keto bread mix is the easiest and most delicious option, but you can use some of these other popular keto bread recipes:

• Almond Flour Bread – Just like wheat bread, this bread is gluten-free, paleo, and low carb!
• White Keto Bread – Fluffy white bread that’s made with just 5 basic ingredients.
• 90-Second Keto Bread – Just 5 ingredients and ready in minutes, this bread is perfect if you’re short on time.

How many carbs in a reuben sandwich?

Traditional reubens can have upwards of 60+ grams carbohydrates.

This version is made with keto bread, which cuts down on carbs significantly. This keto reuben sandwich has just 5.9 grams of net carbs!

Are reubens keto?

Traditional reubens are not keto as they are made with bread. This version replaces the bread with keto bread – and is low carb and keto friendly.

Can you make it ahead?

You can prep keto bread ahead of time (it will keep for up to a week!), but this sandwich is best made fresh and eaten immediately.
