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.

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.
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!
This recipe is a keto alternative to bread and is not 100% like bread but close enough!
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!
I made a triple batch and put it in the waffle maker and it was delicious.
I made these tonight..hubby and I LOVED THEM..kids liked them but that’s a won for the kids lol..my son thought they tasted like eggs but i thought they were very bread-like. I used the almond flour option. Made them in small ramekins and cut them into three slices each.
So glad the kiddos and hubby enjoyed the bread, Megan!
Made this brad today, double. my husband rather fussy but he enjoyed the bread as well we had a tex mix hot dish. Yummy. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks or the feedback 🙂
If anyone wants to spruce things up a bit I suggest adding a tbsp of bacon bits and a tbsp of cheddar or any other shredded cheese you may enjoy. Just add it to the mix and proceed as always. Also, toasting the bread makes it more manageable if you use it to replace burger patties or bread to make sandwiches.
If I am reading it correctly, instead of 3 tbsp of Almond Flour I only need one for Coconut Flour?
Exactly!
Yummy easy recipe!! Love it with grilled cheese toasties, with eggs and with cream cheese and strawberries!
I just tried this. Not good by itself, smelled like egg, so I cut it in half & grilled both sides of each half as shown in video, topped each half with cheese & a fried egg. Was great for sopping up my egg yolk!
I’m so sorry about that, Doreen! Did you use baking powder or baking soda? people accidentally use the wrong one all the time and the taste can be overwhelming. Other than that, I’m not sure why the recipe did now work out for you!
I did the maths on this for using coconut flour instead of almond, (1 tbsp) and butter, and the macros are quite different:
Carbs: 3.2g
Fat: 11.1g
Protein: 9.9g
Kcal: 135.5
Are you showing total or net carbs ?
Great bun! I added 1/2 tsp ACV and 1 tsp psyllium husk. Made a nice tall bun. Cut in half, put a slice of chhese and a salami and some greens and yummy burger ready in minutes. I love to make this as lunch to take to office for my husband. He loves it. Thank you so much. Would try the coconut flour one I found in the comments.
Just made one with coconut flour too. Came out great as well. But I like the almond flour one taste wise. I added 1 TSP psyllium husk and 1/2 TSP ACV like I did with the almond flour bun. Gives a better rise. Baked in the oven for 12 minutes. Tastes great with butter and cheese.
These are the total carbs. For net carbs simply subtract the fiber and half the sugar. Enjoy 🙂
I was trying to find the total carbs. So if I subtract the fiber (with almond flour) it is 2 carbs. I love it but dont want to eat too much of it.
You mention baking it in the oven. Does this make it more bread like?? I try to prep for the week and would be willing to make several of these at a time.
Yes, the texture is close to bread and crispier in the oven.
I don’t really like the eggy taste so experimented. I used the egg white but used 1.5 tbsp of half and half instead of the yolk. I also added 2 more tbsp of the flour and it came out good. Not eggy at all and a little heavier like bread.
What size ramekin for the microwave or what type of (size) dish would you use for the oven?
Great idea. I added 1/2 teaspoon of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey (my stand in for vanilla extract) to add a little flavor. I made this in a 1-cup bowl and it looked like a muffin. I will try adding chopped walnuts or pecans and maybe add some blueberries next time. A 2-cup bowl made a better bread. Thanks for posting this.
Uncle Eddie please. tell me where you got a 2 cup bowl..
Truly good! A new breakfast favorite. I added salt and pepper and had it with shredded Emmental cheese and a slece of cheddar.
Absolutely delicious! Especially after not having any bread for over 30 days! So easy and yummy. If I use the 1 T. of coconut flour only, will it be the same size? And how many net carbs?
Just made it both ways, w/ 3T almond vs. 1T coconut flour. They came out the same size (the c-nut flour expands while you’re mixing it). That one smelled slightly of coconut, but no objections.
They both tasted quite “eggy”, next time I might try the egg white with half and half substituted for the yoke eksewhere suggested in the comments. It might be fun to see how the recipe responds to a bit of yeast, too.
I’ve used this recipe several times but tonight I was feeling frisky so I added 1 packet of splenda, one drop of almond extract, I drop of vanilla extract and poured into a greased frying pan at medium heat. Flipped after 2 minutes and when golden brown on both sides it made a perfect pancake! Sweet and delicious. Omg! I want to make a stack! Amazing!
I love the bread and would like to know if it can be frozen for later use?
