It’s important to have a few key pantry essentials to set you up for success on the Keto Diet. Rarely will you find a restaurant or fast food place that serves much in the way of a keto diet. Therefore, most everything we eat on the keto diet has to be prepared at home. It is much easier to cook when I have all the basics on hand. Consequently, you’ll find the Keto diet does involve a fair amount of planning.
Keto Pantry Essentials
I’ve created a list of my favorite pantry essentials for the keto diet in an effort to make your keto journey a little easier. These are products I use quite often and hope they will be useful to you as well.
Please feel free to let me know if you have favorites that I’m missing from the Keto pantry ingredients. You can do this in two ways. First of all, feel free to send me an email, I’d love to hear from you. Secondly, you can head over to our Keto Forum and comment there. The thread is “What are your favorite Keto Pantry Essentials”. I’m always looking for new pantry items to try on my keto diet. It would be great to hear your ideas and what works best for you.
Kirkland Signature Almond Flour
My go-to almond flour is the humble Kirkland Signature Almond Flour from Costco. This almond flour is superfine and works great no matter what I’m cooking up. The best part is the cost. It comes in at less than $5.00 a pound.
Buy it at your local Costco or online with Google Express
Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Flour
This Coconut flour has a great flavor that doesn’t over-power. Use coconut flour for baking or as a thickener in gravies. It’s important to note that coconut flour absorbs moisture more than most flours. So, increase your moisture content when baking for best results.

Bob’s Red Mill Psyllium Fiber Powder
This Psyllium Fiber powder from Bob’s Red Mill is made from the seed of the psyllium plant and ground to a super fine powder. I use it as a substitute for eggs to give my baked goods added structure. I also like the bit of wheat flavor it lends to my crust and dough recipes.

Bob’s Red Mill Whey Protein Powder
Whey protein powder is what helps create delicious pancakes, muffins, cookies and more. The whey powder helps to lighten up baked goods and holds them together. Lower temperatures are best when using whey to insure more even cooking.
