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.

I tryed This recipe and change it a BIT.I add mixture of cinnamon and monk FRUIT. Of COURSECOURSEyou can use other forms. Of SWEETENERS.not bad at all think a PERSONPERSON COULDCOULDGet real creative with that original simple recipe.
i made this recipe with olive oil instead of butter and while the texture was perfect and it didn’t actually taste bad, the smell was overwhelmingly bad. I had to febreeze my entire kitchen afterwards. i guess i’ll try again but with melted butter this time.
LOved this recipe. Tasted a bit spongey and egg-ish making it a good bread for breakfast sand
Made for first time today. It does have consistency of corn bread but overall a good substitute for bread.
Has anyone EVER multiplied the recipe and made in a 9×9 pan? I’d like to make this ahead for a quick grab and more uniform size.
OmG i love these sooo much, i have made cocOnut, cheese and garlic poppy seed, honestly tHink i have found the most perfect Bread alternative!!
bEST BREAD RECIPE I HAVE TRIED SO FAR. THANKS!
Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I’ve made this the last two days in a row, and shared with my keto group! I added A 1/2 tbsp Of more butter today and it Was perfect! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the recipe with others, Dana!
We don’t have a microwave. A lot of people dont so how do we make this without one?
There are directions in the recipe box on how to bake them in the oven!
Recipe says bake at 375 for 10 minutes
I haven’t made this recipe yet, but i am intrigued! My question is, can you make these ahead and freeze or refrigerate? If so, how long do they keep? Thanx!
Yes, you should be able to make them ahead of time and freeze them in ziplock bags.

Thank you
so AWESOME
Lynn.

I tried this and it came out very dry – followed receipt exactly – any suggestions
Try a little extra butter or olive oil in the mixture.
I dont mean to be dramatic, but you saved my life. Especially my partners who cant survive without “bread.” Thank you! I didn’t use baking powder, just the rest, worked a treat. Fried it up afterwards and had slow cooked pork neck and pickles between it for dinner. Game changer. Xx
I know the feeling when you can finally have “bread”! Happy it worked out for you without the baking powder 😉
I used the coconut oil in the mix (not butter), a little less baking powder as others recommended, a shake of salt….and i added 1/16 teaspoon xantham gum.
I used a wider diameter ramekin (about 4 in diameter).
I toasted on the stovetop in butter after cooking in the microwave and topped with sugar free jelly…it was delicious!!!! Can’t wait to try more toppings/sandwiches and try other versions (like coconut flour). I would say this is more “like” an english muffin than bread.
Great alterations!
What size ramikan?
8 oz (4in) work best but any size will do as long as the batter fits about halfway before cooking.
Amazing. Sprinkle salt before toasting!
Good idea! 😉
You just saved me. 3rd week low carb and i am missing my toast. This is surprisingly great. Thank you.
Yass!! this is as close at it will get to toast 😀
What if you have baking soda instead of baking powder. Can I use the baking soda?
Baking soda does not react the same way as baking powder in baked goods. Because the recipe is such a small portion that every little bit counts, I wouldn’t suggest using baking soda but if you must, I would just use about 1/4 tsp and a dash of cream of tartar if you have any.
First I want to thank you for including a coconut flour alternative for people like me who can’t use almond flour! I was so craving bread this morning but I’ve been in ketosis for over a week and didnt want to ruin my progress. I really wasn’t expecting much when I googled “easy keto bread” but when i read the reviews here i had a little hope. This bread is so much more than i expected. I just had an egg, spinach and bacon sandwich for the first time in months!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this, and for sharing the video because sometimes you need to see it done to really understand. You have given me a gift today!! Thank you!!
Yass!! this bread totally makes keto so much easier and you can enjoy it on so many things!!
Can this be made with liquid eggs?
I haven’t tried with liquid eggs but I would go ahead and test with 3-4 tablespoons of liquid eggs.
This is a wonderful recipe thank you ☺ I added garlic olive oil and rosemary, we enjoyed bacon brie & cranberry sandwiches mmmwha 😋
Loved it – simple and perfect first time due to great video. Really helping my diet – thanks!
Thanks so much for the kind words! <3
Omgosh….I HADMy doubts…but this turned out great!
What size is “large” for a ramekin? 6″? 8″? 12″
6 or 8 oz should work. You can cook them in any size bowl or ramekin you’d like or a square glass meal prep container to make a toast!
You are a godsend for posting this recipe!!! Welcome back bread. Can’t thank you enough xx
Very easy recipe to follow! It was too eggy for me so I substituted coconut oil for the butter, added 1/4 tsp of powder stevia, a tsp of cinnamon powder and SPRINKLEd sliced almonds on top before putting it in the microwave. Right up my ally for taste!
A sweet cinnamon version sounds like a delicious snack to me!

I recommend a pinch of salt.
Never TRIED making KETO bread before~
had coconut flour to substitute with your alt recipe
tried it
came out perfect by directions given~!
thankyou!
just used it to make an open face chicken and cheese sandwich for lunch.
Well I’ve been experimenting with this recipe for a while now. Being on keto is tough when you get the urge for bread. This definitely counts as a good, quick substitute.
My notes: I prefer to use the almond flour. I use a little less baking powder than recommended. I use a little more salt.
Additions which really work in my opinion and make all the difference (I add all three):
– add a pinch of rosemary
– add a pinch of cayenne pepper
– add some strong grated cheese
I either use a large ramekin, slice the ‘roll’ in half, put in the toaster for a minute and slather with butter, or I spread on a microwavable plate – what comes out works perfectly as a wrap.
I agree, so tweaked the recipe and like it much better: 2 tblspns butter, 2 tblspns neufchatel cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 4 tblspns almond flour, 1 egg. Microwave 60 sec, flip on to a pkate and microwave until set.
Delicious, fluffy and great with butter!!
Omg THIS IS THE BEST! SO EASY LIGHT FLUFFY, TASTY. CANT STOP THINKING WHAT ELSE I CAN USE THIS QUICK VERSATILE BREAD AND SO SOFT AND FRESH. BEST SANDWICH EVER!
This recipe was great. the only thing I had to do differently was leave it in the microwave for an extra 30 seconds. the bowl i used made it the perfect size for a hamburger bun. after it came out of the microwave, i cooked on the stove with some butter, like in the video, and it was great. this will be my go to recipe to use as a bun or quick sandwich roll. I apologize for the all caps. my caps lock is off but it still did it this way. I promise i’m not yelling. 🙂
Weird. the all caps went away when i posted.
Do we need to grease the. Ramekin?
I added a pinch of salt and pepper. I might have gone a little heavy on the almond flour, by about 1/4 tsp., Which may have made the texture and mouth feel seem more like corn bread, this was my first keto “bread,” and i am very satisfied with the outcome. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe. I’ll keep working ON it to see what else i can do with it. I think next time I’ll replace some almond flour with flax meal and see how that changes it up.
Any idea on how to make it taste less eggy? I’m not a fan of the heavy egg taste. Thank you!!
