Bread cravings be gone with this 90 second keto bread recipe that can be made with almond flour or coconut flour, a microwave or an oven! Keto bread that can be made in the microwave is a recipe you will be using faithfully to keep you on track with your low carb lifestyle.
90 second keto bread
Making your own easy 90-second keto bread can be super simple when you utilize your microwave and a few staple keto ingredients. I love that this keto recipe is a gluten-free friendly bread recipe, dairy free, and perfect for a keto lifestyle. It's such a game changer at only 2.7 grams of net carbs!
I like to top my 90 second keto toast with keto strawberry jam, slice it and make a grilled cheese and serve with keto tomato soup, use it as a hamburger buns, or just a plain old sandwich. It's also perfect for avocado toast!
I love this low carb bread recipe because it doesn't use any ingredients like psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, cream cheese, or apple cider vinegar. You also don't need a hand mixer, food processor, or loaf pan. If you miss regular bread, this recipe is for you! It really is the best keto bread recipe!
Almond flour bread
This is my favorite version of this low-carb bread recipe because I prefer the taste of almond flour over coconut flour. For this version you will need:
- 3 Tablespoons of Almond Flour
- 1 Tablespoon butter, melted or oil ( can use coconut oil, olive oil, or ghee)
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large egg, beaten (use just the egg white for a less "eggy" taste)
- Pinch of salt (skip if your butter is salted)
Nutrition for 1 serving using almond flour: 315 calories / 29g fat / 5g carbs / 2g fiber / 11g protein
Coconut flour bread
This version of microwave keto bread is perfect for people with almond or nut allergies. Coconut flour is more absorbent than almond flour...that's why this recipe requires less.
- 1 ⅓ Tablespoon Coconut Flour
- 1 Tablespoon oil or melted butter
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Large egg, beaten (use just the egg white for a less "eggy" taste)
- Pinch of salt (skip if your butter is salted)
Nutrition for 1 serving using coconut flour: 235 calories / 20g fat / 5.7 carbs / 3g fiber / 8g protein
90 second keto microwave bread instructions
For the microwave, I like to use a round ramekin (like this one) that is 4 inches in diameter or a 4 inch x 4 inch microwave safe container. Add the melted butter or the coconut oil to the container and swirl it around. Next, add all of the rest of the ingredients and whisk with a fork. The dough will be very wet. Tap on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds. Remove from the microwave and let cool.
When it's finished cooling, you can slice it in half lengthwise to make 2 slices of keto-friendly bread.
Oven instructions
Disclaimer: I do not recommend the oven as the bread does not rise nearly as well so it is more dense. For the oven, you need to use an oven safe container. A ceramic ramekin that is 4 inches in diameter (like this one) is perfect. Pour the oil or melted butter in the ramekin and swirl to coat the inside. Add the rest of the ingredients to the ramekin and mix well with a fork. Tap on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles. Cook in the oven at 375F for 10 minutes or until the center springs back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean.
How to make this non-eggy
Some people have a problem with the "eggy" taste of this easy keto bread recipe. This is from the egg yolks that are used. To remedy this, you can use just an egg white and save the egg yolk for another recipe. You can also use carton egg whites from the grocery store. For that you would need to use 2 tablespoons of the egg whites.
This would also result in a bread with less fat and calories and a taste and texture similar to white bread. The nutrition would be:
Almond flour: 265 calories / 25g fat / 5g carbs / 2g fiber / 8g protein
Coconut flour: 177 calories / 15g fat / 6g carbs / 3g fiber / 5g protein
As you can see, making this with coconut flour and an egg white really cuts down on the calories so you can really stuff this will really good sandwich stuff like bacon and avocado!
different ways to use 90-second bread
- Add some fresh or dried herbs, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese for a quick garlic bread or Italian bread
- Add cinnamon and sugar free sweetener for a sweet treat, like French toast!
- Top with everything but the bagel seasoning and an egg for an easy breakfast!
- Make several and freeze for later. Simply wrap the cooled 90 second bread in plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe container or bag.
- Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- Toast in a toaster oven until golden brown and top with a little butter and your favorite toppings
- Make a keto breakfast sandwich (my favorite way)

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon almond flour (see my favorite on Amazon), (or 1 ⅓ tablespoon coconut flour)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or melted butter or coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg, (See notes on how to make this less "eggy")
- tiny pinch of kosher salt
Equipment
Instructions
- Add the oil to the bowl or ramekin and swirl around to coat. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir stir well. Tap on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles and microwave for 60-90 seconds. You can also bake in a oven safe container for 10 minutes at 375F
- You can make this 90 second keto bread less eggy by using just an egg white as the egg yolk is where the eggy taste comes from.
Notes
- Nut free version: if you are intolerant to almond flour you can use sunflower seed flour as a 1 for 1 swap with the almond flour.
- To make this less eggy tasting, use just an egg white as the egg yolk is where the eggy taste comes from.
- Tap the container on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles before you cook it
- You could really use any nut flour that you want if you are allergic to almonds or coconut. For alternative nut flours like pecan four, you would use 3 tbsp. You use half the amount for coconut flour because it's not really a nut and it is very absorbent!
- I found that a 4x4 microwave safe container made the perfect size piece of low carb bread that could be cut in half and use as a sandwich
- You could also use a round container that is 4 inches in diameter for a keto mug bread
- If you would rather bake this in the oven, you can use an oven safe container and bake at 375 for 10 minutes
- Toasting this 90 second keto bread makes it have a much better texture. you could also use a skillet to toast it in some butter. Yum!

This bread goes great with just about anything. Tip:You can use the whole egg without an eggy taste, if you add in 1-Tbl. sour cream.
Marsha Whitt says
Thank you for this recipe, Jennifer! I've made it three times and it comes out perfect every time! I didn't have almond flour, so I used 2 T pecan meal instead (a little less than your almond flour measurement), and left everything else the same. Tastes like whole wheat bread, and the texture is spot-on. We can have sandwiches again!
Edna says
Best microwave keto bread in the world. I used the full egg and added 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar- no eggy taste. I also used almond meal not flour. The texture and flavor were perfect. Thank you for such a delicious treat. It’s simply the best toasted bread for olive oil dipping. Yum!
Lynne Quimby says
I used the egg white vsn. Worked perfectly and importantly, no eggy smell or taste! It cut perfectly in half to make a sandwich. So easy, this will be my daily 'bread' fix. Thank you👍
Lynda Backman says
This bread did not rise
I followed the recipe to the letter. What could I have done wrong
Jennifer Banz says
Did you use the microwave? Maybe your baking powder is not fresh?
Marilyn says
This was really good thank you !
Gary Martens says
So easy and convenient to make in the microwave! Made this several times with almond flour and really enjoyed it.
Tried with coconut flour and I like the flavour better but found it a little dry. Any suggestions to make it more moist with coconut flour? I used butter and whole egg.
Amy says
Love this! Made it with almond flour. Cooked one batch in the microwave and one in my little dash waffle thingy! Sprayed “I Can’t Believe its not Butter” all over it and it was wonderful! So easy to make!
MJ says
I'm new to keto & this is the first keto bread I've made. I'm so happy with this bread!! I used almond flour & both with just egg white & whole egg. I prefer it with a whole egg. Absolutely delicious & makes a great sandwich. I typically never follow a recipe 100% but this one is perfect as is. Thanks
Shirley says
Yummy, I've been making this bread for a couple years now and it's ny breakfast bread!
Colette parkin says
I'm new to keto, only 4 days in, I adore bread and am missing it so was keen to try this. I didn't hold out much hope that it would be any good and it didn't look it when it came out of the microwave but was I wrong! Mine didn't rise enough to cut in two so I had to have an open sandwich, I topped with ham and cream cheese, I absolutely loved it.
I used coconut flour which gave it a slight sweetness and creaminess and I imagine it's just as delicious if you add a tiny bit of sweetener and top with sugar free chocolate spread/jam for a really sweet treat
This is definitely my go to, super quick, easy and delicious 10/10
Julie says
Wow! This is great! I made mine in a smaller dish - about 3x3, because I didn't have one that is 4x4, but it actually worked out better because it came out thick enough to slice in half! Hightly recommend! So easy and satisfying!
Lyndy says
I made some cinnamon sugar (swerve) toast with this and it really hit the spot! I toasted it and it was perfect. Next time I'll be sure to thoroughly mix the baking powder with the almond flour because I did get one powdery bite. Now I'm wondering if there is a way to make a batch of these; I'm thinking I could use a muffin tin and fill each tin with half a "serving"?
Elizabeth says
Will make with egg white next time, my fault for not reading the whole article but still one of the best I've tasted.
Candi says
Not that you need another omg this is good but here's another! I wasn't optimistic given the simplicity of the recipe and instructions but I think that took it over the top! I use coconut flour and butter instead of oil and after I zap it in the micro, I toast it on a griddle with more butter. This just hits all the must have points, taste, texture, flavor and did I mention ease and simplicity? I really like this and plan on making it several times a week maybe even daily (gasp!). It's that good. It's sturdy enough for dipping in soup or sauce or scraping egg yolk off my plate!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Vickie says
Hi Jennifer. I just made one piece of 90 second keto bread. Too easy! I toasted it and topped it with a little agave syrup for a perfect piece of French toast. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. I'm very excited to start my keto journey.
Laura King says
What would be a good alternative to avocado oil? I recently found out that I am allergic to avocados, wheat, rice, oats, sesame seed, & peanuts! I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed then I saw your bread recipe and thought maybe I can eat bread again!
Thank you!
jenniferbanz says
any oil will work!
Bella says
Canthisbe made with another oil instead of avocado?
jenniferbanz says
Yes, any oil or butter
Nash Byrd says
So far this is the first coconut flour recipe ive tried that acrually tastes good. Ive made it twice now and its delicious! Very good bread recipe and i was surprised at how nice and fluffy it was! This recipe has made it into my permanent recipe book.
Chasia says
I can not believe how tasty this bread is. It feels like I'm cheating when I eat this. So easy to make and perfect for bread lovers like me. Thank you for this recipe!
Anu says
What a game changer!! Thank you! Only use egg whites, tasted like bread!
Linda P says
This bread is delicious! To decrease the 'eggy' taste, let the eggs get to room temperature before using them. I also use melted garlic butter and a dash of grated parmesan, makes amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. I keep a stash handy for those 'gotta have carbs' moments.
Claudia says
Delicious made in oven! I made this bread in the microwave and in the oven as per recipe (10min) and much better in oven! I used 4” silicone molds ( mini cake molds) and it came out easily and delicious! I cut it in 1/2. Put butter on it, and toasted. A+ Husband was craving bread and he loved it!
I used almond flour, egg white, and butter instead of the oil.
Thanks for this recipe!
❤️
Carolyn Carr says
I used butter instead of avocado oil. Topped with natural peanut butter and 2 tsp. sugar free syrup. Tastes like pancakes! Yum!
Lydia says
I needed a quick bite between Zoom meetings and whipped up the almond flour (I used almond meal) version. It was great, so easy and tasted way better than the gross store bought breads. Totally my go to now. I’m so happy I tried this!
Ranae says
I just tried this and it is a bit eggy. I am going to try next time with the egg white only and see how that goes. Thank you for all your recipes and videos. I love them!
Angela says
I tried this recipe just before posting this comment, it was not bad at all. I doubled the recipe and added about a heaping tablespoon of sour cream and I used a 5 inch round casserole dish and cooked for 90 seconds but it was still underdone and again for another 60 seconds and it came out fluffy and perfect. A great base for some recipe ideas or as is! Thanks for the recipe!
