The best soft and fluffy low-carb Keto bread made with almond flour in the microwave in just 90 seconds. It’s great for sandwiches, grilled cheese, with butter and much more!
If you’re on a low-carb, paleo or keto diet then you’re going to fall in love with this keto bread recipe. It’s so soft, fluffy and delicious, you’ll find it hard to believe that it’s actually keto. It’s all made in the microwave in just 90 seconds!
This bread is perfect for the mornings when you need a slice of bread to serve with your egg and bacon, for a breakfast or lunch sandwich, or for making grilled cheese. It’s perfectly soft and holds up great, especially when toasted.
For the bowl, I like to use a large ramekin or any small microwave-safe bowl. If you’re making grilled cheese, a small square sandwich size container works great. 
To Make Microwave Keto Bread, You will Need:
1 egg
1 Tablespoon butter or oil
3 Tablespoons Almond Flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
To make, simply combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and pour into a greased microwave-safe bowl or ramekin. Microwave for 90 seconds. Flip out of the ramekin and slice in half.
To toast: butter a pan or skillet over medium heat and toast the bread until golden and crispy. Alternatively, toast in a toaster.

looks wonderful – can you bake it instead of using the microwave? I don’t actually have a microwave.
Is it possible to sub the Almond flour for coconut flour?
It DOES say in the recipe, 3tbsp almond OR 1 tbsp coconut.
That said, I made the coconut one last night, I plan to compare both but don’t need to make or eat multiples at once. Used the biggest fattest mug because my ramekins are too small or too big. I wasn’t expecting it to shrink so much if at all since directions say to loosen edges after cooking- mine had a half inch gap all the way around. My big fat mug bread shrunk to smaller than a regular mug size. Idk if that’s the flour type or not, so be forewarned.
You can try subbing with a 1:4 ratio of coconut to almond flour
Added a dash of salt and a dash of erythrital and it was great! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely, quick bread. It was too messy mixing it in the ramekin itself. I poured it out into a desert bowl, cooking it in the ramekin. It mushroomed in the ramekin. I cooked the second one in the desert bowl. The second one came out better, but I need to find the perfect container to cook the break, rectangular would be perfect. Awesome bread though..
I just made this recipe and it turned out great! I added a little bit of sea salt and oregano and then I toasted in the pan. I paired it with sunny side up egg and avocado and it was very filling. Will definitely do it again. Thanks for all the tips.
Awesome!!
I rarely write reviews but had to on this one. Absolutely delicious! Had been doing Keto diet for a short time and seeing good results, but missed bread very much. This was so easy and turned out perfectly. It was delicious straight out of the toaster but I did sprinkle on some cinnamon and a bit of Stevia… Yum! It will definitely be a regular on my list of “allowable” foods.
So happy to hear that!
First time trying. Fluffed up nicely. No flavor though. Will try adding spices next time
Used it to make grilled cheese and the bread toasted very nicely and held together really well. Very easy to make also!
It was easy to make and tasted good. I really miss bread and this is a great substitute!
Mine came out terrible. So disappointed. The baking powder was overpowering. Thinking I will try again using less baking powder and see what happens.
Did the baking powder contain aluminum?
Is the nutrition value (1 bread) one slice or whole mug? When I calculate the ingredients myself I come up with a lot more so it would appear to be 1/2 mug (1 slice)? Wish I had realized it before eating it.
The nutritional value is for the entire mug (everything in the recipe) which can be sliced into 2-3 slices.
Just wonderful, thank you for helping me have the things l miss most
We have tried other keto recipes. And I’ve got to say…….this is the best, most moist, flavorful bread we have ever tried!!!! And it was so easy to make!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! We just made mini ham sandwiches with it, they were so tasty!!!
What a treat!
Wow. You are so right. I’ve spent so much money on keto breads. Some loaves cost near $10 and just taste so nasty. Plus they have so many carbs in them. This recipe is completely without carbs and is delicious. Who ever invented this recipe I thank-you.
I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and made a strawberry shortcake. AMAZING!!! Topped the bread off with strawberries and whipped cream. Who ever thought that would be keto.
I used 2T almond flour, 1t coconut flour, 1/2 t baking powder, 3T egg whites (Kirkland carton), 1T low fat butter, dash of salt. Followed same prep instructions. Nutrition: 149 cal, 3g carb, 11g fat and 7 gm protein, which works better for my low carb, low fat diet. It tasted great!
I made this recipe a couple days ago exactly as written and microwaved. I found it to be a perfectly acceptable replacement for bread. Texture was similar, I did not find the taste too eggy. My only problem was that I would have to make it too often. The next day I scaled it up (and added a pinch of salt) and baked it in the oven in a muffin top pan. The texture changed. It was closer to cornbread than bread, but not as crumbly. It was still acceptable, however my pan made the “breads” too small. I tried the recipe a 3rd time, but this time I used 4″ round aluminum pans about 2″ tall. Followed the recipe exactly, baked in the oven. This time, the result was exactly like cornbread. It was a pain to get of the pans, they were very crumbly, unsliceable, wouldn’t hold together to toast them. The difference between the 3 different pans and the 2 cooking methods was actually quite interesting.
I guess I will stick with the microwave method. It really was very close to bread.
This is the first time I have tried a 90 second bread and was I surprised that it actually was a good substitute for bread. I made a grilled cheese with it and was happy to stay on my lifestyle change in 2021.
Make this tloday and added sharp grated cheddar. I toasted it and used as a hamburger bun. I loved it. I used almond flour.
Made this tonight with a little tweak. Followed all ingredients except for the butter. I only put half tsp butter and added 1 tsp of Greek yogurt. It came out moist, cut it in half and browned it in the pan. It has an eggy smell to it but liked it very much. Next time I’ll try the egg whites and half n half recipe. Thank you
I have used the recipe many times and I have experimented with the fats. I have used olive oil, butter, and of all things mayo, by far the mayo has been my favorite. I know it sounds weird but try it!!! 1 tablespoon of mayo!
I used coconut flour and toasted it, taste was great but it was so dry I nearly choked. No one else has mentioned that so what went wrong? I used 1 large egg, 1 T coconut flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 T light olive oil.
Coconut flour is extremely absorbent. I’ve been experimenting with keto breads, cakes and pizza doughs for about a year now and have almost all together stopped using coconut flour. If you prefer it over almond flour, try adding an extra egg or extra butter. A little bit of coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid!! I found that a almond/ coconut flour works well, especially with cakes! Hope that helps 🙂
I just made this! By the recipe, so dry I couldn’t swallow. I’m new to this
How long did you microwave it?
Love this fast and easy eggy bread for breakfast with eggs. So Yummy. Wondering if the nutrition facts are different when I had to use coconut flour this morning?
Perfect, easy and delicious
At last a recipe for keto bread that is just right. i have previous attempts with other recipes that have not been successful. I used a little less baking powder as i always taste that usually in other recipes i have used. this time i didnt so was very happy.
Might I suggest you try an aluminum-free baking soda. It’s less likely to have that aftertaste. It’s also healthier.
Baking powder, not soda. Always getting the names confused, although I always manage to grab the right one off the shelf
I used cream of garter instead of baking powder and a 5×7 glass dish so I’d get a regular bread depth. Then just lightly buttered a skillet and browned on both side. I top one with cheese, covered and melted for a delicious cuz topped toast. The other I topped with lemon curd and basically had a delicious lemon ‘donut’. I’ll use this recipe forever! So good!
Thank you! Make keto a lifestyle. Bless you from my whole heart!
I just made this exactly as written. It was great! I was so happy to find a quick bread recipe so that I could enjoy a sandwich. Note, I added some rosemary, garlic powder, and Himalayan salt to match my dinner.
Did these people actually make this recipe! Bread is a stretch. It looks, feels and tastes like a stiff egg. Not something I would make again as “bread”.
This recipe is a keto alternative to bread and is not 100% like bread but close enough!
If you use 2 egg whites instead of one whole egg it doesn’t taste eggy at all. May be a bit denser too which is great for bagels!
How do you get rid of the egg smell
To reduce or eliminate the egg smell, beat the egg very well and add a few drops of lemon juice before adding the other ingredients.
I love it. The original recipe is good but I replaced the flour with Garbanzo flour and I think the flavor is even better! I make double recipes and use an extra large coffee mug and I get wonderful loafs that I use to make sandwiches. I also make yummy french toast using keto magic syrup. Left over bread lasts several days. This recipe has changed my life.
Thanks for the feedback!
But Garbanzo flour isn’t keto friendly. It’s high-carb because it comes from legumes (garbanzo beans).
Love it, fried it in a little butter after taking out of microwave cut into 4 prices and ate with keto mongolian beef, had half for lunch and have half for dinner YUM!
This is probably the best 90 second bread recipe I’ve tried. I added a little more than 1/2 tsp baking powder (probably 3/4) and this is the first time I haven’t needed to make two portions for one sandwich. I didn’t find it to be overly eggy either. I cut it in half and toasted in a pan with butter before I made a sandwich.
Thanks for the detailed feedback!
Really good bread. It reminds of the bread that Schlotzsky’s.serves. I can already see the possibilities!
