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:

Shut. Up.
I LOVE tgis recipe! I discoveted it a year ago when I started keto and was misding toast with my sunny sude up eggs. I’ve used it for sanwhiches, burgers, eggs and toast, and just good old toast and butter. Now, I recently discovered a new tging….wafgles and pancakes! I aytempted making chaffles when my fiance got a mini wafgle iron. While tgey were delicious fresh, tgey turned out tough reheated. I tried reheating them in the airfyer on rehest, in the microwave and in tge toaster. They just didn’t rehezt well for me at all. Then, one day I tried making up my mugbread, but replacing the salt with 1tbsp Swerve Confectioners and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. What I got outof it was 2 mini wafgles from one batch! Tgey didn’t crisp up and had more of a pancake te ture, but omg! They were perfectly flavored! And tgey reheated nicely in tge microwave….no more than a minute! I luve at my parents’ and we don’t hsve a waffle maker here….so I made pancakes. They make PERFECT pancakes! I use Food Lion sugar free syrup wuth them. I’m telling yoy, even if I didn’t dtay on keto , this would be my forever pancake/waffle recipe! To be honest, when using it as bread, I still have to toast it to get rid of that egg taste. So, I have a biscuit recipe I use now for intoadted sandwhiches. But the mugbreadis still great for hot sandwhiches lije grilled ham and cheese, breakfast sandwhiches and burgers.
Sorry for the typos!
Can this be made in the dash mini griddle?
If you mean for waffles, yes! My fiance bought a Big Boss mini grill/waffle maker/panini maker. It makes 2 mini waffkes. I get 2 mini waffles or pancakes out of one batch of mugbread batter. Just swap out the salt for your keto sweetener (to tadte) and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. You won’t regret it! I use 1 tbsp measuring spoon and scoop out abput 2 tbsp per waffle/pancake. I made 5 batches worth of pancakes for my parents and me yesterday (10 pancakez), and they loved them!
Yes!
I added a dash of salt and garlic powder, yummy
First of all I don’t expect anything to taste like wheat bread that has no wheat in it. Second, through Keto I’m learning that bread can be many things other than wheat breads, and that is a great learning. That being said, I love what this produces. I added some yeast (expired) to the warm but for the flavour. This bread rose so high in it’s little glass and never really “dropped”! Although it was too dry at first bite with butter, I then toasted it, topped it with butter, cream cheese and mild cheddar and it tasted amazingly good. Great even. Coconut flour causes it to be dry. But I’m going to experiment to see if that dryness can be changed next time. Bottom line, this recipe will be my go to bread from now on! With the coconut flour it’s kind of in a new class to me. Sort of like a cross between a biscuit and … I’m not sure yet. But I love it and give it a 9/10.
I loved this bread, but what size ramekin do you recommend? 4 inches in diameter?
Thanks Debbie
You can use 4-6 oz ramekins or any size you want to make different types of bread.
I love it. Super fast and taste good. I have experimented with it by adding different herbs for flavoring and it is great. Dill and Italian seasoning are both very good. I mix and cook mine in a glass loaf pan then cut the bread vertically for 2 perfect slices.
Is it possible to make this without a microwave?
To Bake: Pre-heat oven to 375F. Bake in a ramekin for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.
This was really good. I did exactly what you did, I thinking toasting it at the end is key, I added butter after and it was pretty yummy and filling!
I made this and put a mixture of cinnamon, stevia and butter. It was soo good! I think I will add almond extract next time.
I used this recipe for a tortilla, and it was awesome! Double it for larger dinner plate! Thanks for sharing! The Mission low carb large tortillas are $4.88 for 8 large at Walmart, and we use ALOT of them, but I decided to try this in a tortilla fashion, and it’s great! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this tip! I use Joseph’s wraps and they are really expensive. I hope my daughter likes them.
if U R diabetic ,this is it for us…..no more french baguette…..
Going out for a birthday lunch later. Fancied a burger but without a bun.. Changed my option to grilled chicken and but Now I can go back to my first choice and make my bun at home and swop the buns 👍👍👍
I’ve made so many varieties of this muffin…Today I used Hazlenut flour and forgot to add the oil (NO OIL). And I stumbled on one of my favored versions so far:
2 1/2 TBS Hazelnut Flour
1 Egg
1/4- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Dash (eg 1 tsp) Califia Farms Better Half, Unsweetened (this is a “creamer” blend of Coconut Cream and Almond Milk
After Micro, toasted halves in pan with butter and topped with Sugar Free Jelly
*The texture is a little spongey/airy but that doesn’t bother me and it still feels like a good bite full.
*This is a nice version when you want it to really look like a stoneground/wheat muffin, the hazlenut flour does that and the visual certainly helps the taste 🙂
Sure wish we could upload pics
How do I pin this recipe??
Anyone make this in the morning and take it to work for a sandwich at lunch? Just wondering how it held up through the day.
It is awesome if you want a biscuit like quality/texture in a 2 net carb biscuit and don’t eat breads made with white flour, or on a low carb diet. Since you’re a trained chef, adding spice like garlic, etc makes this a delicious bread substitute. Of course it can’t compare with normal bakery breads, sorry but duh.
This is surprisingly good! I can see adding some herbs to it for interesting flavors. I ate it with a piece of Gouda and beyond sausage…very, very good. I can only imagine how much better it would be pan friend with a bit of butter. Thanks so much!
I just made this for my picky husband and me and it turned out perfect. I added a little extra almond flour as it was too liquidy and cooked for 90 seconds. Let it cool for about 5 mins then cut and made egg sandwiches. I added Mrs. Dash seasoning and enjoyed.
This person must have zero friends 🤣
Could I make a bunch and freeze them? Just defrost and toast? Thanks
Yes, you absolutely can!
In the keto community, this is as close to bread as you can get in under 15 minutes! If you are looking for a more traditional “bread” then I suggest looking for a “keto loaf” recipe 🙂
If you double recipe, do you double the 90 seconds
No, it should work at 90 seconds!
Maybe try adding some garlic and onion powder and salt and pepper. That’s what I do when making cloud bread.
I love your recipe, I just tried with oat flour and it was spectacular. Thank you very much for the recipe.
You’re welcome, Maria 🙂 Oat flour sounds like a great substitute!
I add cocoa powder and vanilla and a touch of salt
Yum!!
love this quick and easy recipe.. i love this bread. its light and airy.
I cooked mine in a waffle iron to create 2 slices of sandwich bread. Still had a light texture.
Wow! I Missed bread sooo muCh! Now i dont have to go with again…simple,quick and YuMmy! Thanks for sharing :))
My pleasure, enjoy! 🙂
Bread is very bland. What can I add to make it have some flavor.
I add Italian seasoning, rosemary, and garlic powder. So good
I add small amount of coconut sugar.
Love this easy versatile bread. I think it IS much better toasted in a pan. Yum…. I like it with everything seasoning or cheese or both. Finally something to eat with sunny side up eggs or a good avocado toast replacement
This Was so easy! I tore them up to use in the bottom of my bowl of keto white chicken chili and it worked perfEctly. Be sure to flip them out of the bowl as quikly as possible so they don’t stick. I will be making these again.
Successful in making the first keto bread
This recipe is yummy! I Made in the microwave and used butter and a dash of mct oil, Then pan cooked to brown/toasr with butter. I was craving peanut butter, i put a big dolop on each slice and then sUgar free syrup….
I only added 1/4 Teaspoon of baking powder. Will be making again soon.
Thanks for the feedback, Sarah!
I wouldnt say this is bread necessarily, but it’s a good low carb substitute. I say this just so you can hopefully go in with a more open mind. All that to say, it’s greaT “bread.” It’s perfect because i’m the only one in My house eating low Carb, so it’s really quick and easy to make. I love to use it to make grilled cheese to pair with Tomato soup. I also Butter it & toppeD it with Cinnamon & Erythritol & Baked it in the oven the other morning. The erythritol dIdnt crisp in the oven, so i sprinkled some on top After i took it out of the oven Right before eating & it was quite enjoyable. I Wouldnt reCommenD just eating this on its own.
Wow recipe is great!! My husband asked me to make him a grilled cheese and thankfully I could make my own with this!!!
Sorry if this is obvious, but is 220 kcal the same unit of measure as saying it has 220 calories? Cant seem to find a reasonable conversion online so i am thinking so.
Haven’t tried the recipe (yet), but yes, in Europe they say “kcal”, which is the same as calories in America. Looking forward to trying this microwave recipe.
Ahh this hit the spot! Been on keto for a week with no bread, and this was just the goodness i was craving. I topped with some butter and it was very satisfying. And im so happy it is such a quick item to fix! I’m looking forward to making breakfast grilled cheeses with it. the star deduction is because it was pretty dry… I’m living in denver, so I’m at high altitude. any suggestions for adjustments?
Pan toasting it now smells good.it is very good
Just tried this this morninG…..it was delish…. trying to watch my carb intake…. tho i forgot the baking powder, it was still good…i made a ham, lettuce and tomato sandwich…great!!! Sorry about caps, couldn’t change it
I made this recipe with coconut flour and it turned out amazing for a sweet bread. The first time, however, I used 1/2 tsp of baking powder and it left an after taste, so i halved it and turned out perfect
Your recipes are great, your site is annoying. The subscribe button and other social media buttons makes it hard to see the recipes. It makes me and my friends not want to even look at your site — too distracting.
We are working on a new re-design within the next few weeks! 😀
