90 Second Microwave Bread that can be made with almond flour or coconut flour, a microwave or an oven! This 90 second keto bread is going to make all of those low carb and keto bread dreams come true.
I bring to you today 90 Second Bread aka microwave bread aka keto mug bread. What else are the kids calling it these days? Almond flour bread? Anyway, the recipe is super simple and I provide instructions for almond flour or coconut flour and oven instructions. Lets do this!
I am not much of a sandwich fan anymore, but I don’t write this blog for me, I write it for you, and most people love sandwiches! Especially low carb bread sandwiches!
The ingredients we need for this microwave bread are:
- almond flour or coconut flour
- eggs
- oil (melted butter, melted coconut oil, avocado oil)
- baking powder
- salt
That’s all you need to make this coconut flour or almond flour bread!
Mix all of the ingredients together with a fork and put it in the microwave for 90 seconds.
Here are some tips I have found for this 90 second bread (keto bread):
- Tap the container on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles before you cook it
- I found that a 4×4 microwave safe container made the perfect size piece of low carb bread that could be cut in half and stuffed with all the things
- You could also use a ramekin that is 4 inches in diameter. This would be more like a keto mug bread.
- If you would rather bake this low carb bread in the oven, you can use a ramekin and bake at 375 for 10 minutes
- Toasting this 90 second bread makes it have a much better texture. you could also use a skillet to toast it in some butter. Yum!
Another bread recipe I have is for the oopsie rolls. I used those to make Avocado on Toast with Bacon and Bleu Cheese!
Can you imagine this almond flour bread made into a BLT or topped with a stuffed burger? I have also heard of followers turning it into french toast…wouldn’t that be great for breakfast with some Keto Coffee?

90 Second Keto Bread with Almond flour or Coconut Flour
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbsp almond flour (click here to see my favorite brand) (or 1 1/3 tbsp coconut flour)
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil (Click here for my favorite brand)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg (See notes on how to make this less "eggy")
- tiny pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- add all ingredients to a 4x4 microwave safe bowl, tap on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles, and microwave for 90 seconds. You can also bake in a oven safe container for 10 minutes at 375F
WATCH HOW TO MAKE IT
JENNIFER'S TIPS
- NEW 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 stuffed with all the things
- 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 low carb bread makes it have a much better texture. you could also use a skillet to toast it in some butter. Yum!
Rosemarie says
Love this, best one yet. I only had coconut oil. But yum yum.
Inez Willis says
Excellent! I made exactly as written except I didn’t realize I had run out of Avocado Oil, so I used Almond oil instead. Thank you for this recipe.
Mia says
Sounds yummy! Can you freeze it? /Mia
Sherry says
I think this is one of the best 90 seconds I’ve done
Elda says
I made this with 1 tsp oil to bring down fat content. Still good texture. I may have to tweak the flour mixture. Perhaps 2 of almond and 1 of coconut flour. Otherwise pretty good.
Pam says
After a rough start in keto I think this is a game changer! I got tired of all the waste with other recipes, they didn’t keep well and I was throwing so much away. With this is can vary it up savory or sweet and make just what I need for one meal, thank you!
Vlady says
Have you tried making a batch and freezing them?
TAnya says
Agree with above comment. This one deserves special mention. I’m not keto, but crave this bun. Bonus: it’s ridiculously easy to make!! – it’s in my personal recipe file now.
Lexi says
I love love love love this recipe. It’s amazing. Everytime I am craving bread I just eat this and I am satisfied. It hold well with as a sandwich, it holds well as a burger bun. I am so happy . And the best part is its easy and costs less to nothing to make. I usually dont leave a comment for recipes I find but this recipe was brilliant and deserved a praise. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Heidi says
This bread is great texture wise!! I will play around with flavors to mask the almond flour taste a bit depending on the dish. Overall, great recipe!!
Emeline says
I used sunflower seed flour (I just ground down sunflower seeds in my nutribullet) in place of the almond flour and it turned out amazing! I also added a touch of cinnamon, a little vanilla essence and some stevia. What a great recipe!!!!!!! I toasted the bread and then drizzled it with some macadamia butter and put some toasted coconut and fresh blueberries on, yum yum yum!
Carole says
I LOOOOOOVE this bread! I’ve made with coconut flour, almond flour, & almond “meal” that I just ground up with my Nutribullet, & it’s always delicious. And then…. I tried an experiment. I added at bit of extra melted butter (say, 1/3-1/2 Tbs), 2 teaspoons of ground flax, a few drops of maple extract, about 1-1/2 tsp of water ,some sweetener (Truvia) & some chopped pecans. OMG. A choir of angels was drooling as they sang! Thanks for a great recipe!
Tina says
I tried the 90 second bread recipe. I’ve made similar in the past. I chose coconut flower and coconut oil omitting the egg yolk. I added onion powder and granulated garlic powder. The sweetness of the coconut and the savory of the seasonings made this the perfect breakfast bread. I’m going to do the same with almond flour, we’ll see how that works out. If I want to make a sizable loaf, can I freeze after baking? Also what is the shelf life? I’m thinking to do batches for the holidays.
Beth says
Almost cried with joy. Fantastic breakfast, bread after 16 months of low carb/ Keto life. So glad to have found your recipes. 😍
Elisa Ann Frye says
I’ve tried other recipes for quick low+carb “ bready “ things and at best they’ve been OK. But this is delicious—wonderful taste, texture, and appearance! Thanks so much!
Rita says
How much liquid egg whites did you use for this recipe?
jenniferbanz says
1 eggs worth. There should be a conversion on the container
Leah says
This is fantastic!! I think I’ll cook mine a bit longer next time, as my microwave has a lower wattage – but the texture is good, the flavor is good – I’m sold!! Also going to try it with coconut flour and add cinnamon and a bit of sweetener for a sweet breakfast bread. Found the PERFECT container for it, too!! Thank you so much!!!
Ole says
I’ve used this recipe for a long time, although just with 1/4 baking powder.
Worth mentioning though, if the choice of oil is butter, and it is salted butter, omit the extra pinch of salt, or it can be a bit too much 🙂
Keep at it!
Lynne says
Can these be made in “batches” ahead of time, and possibly frozen? Also can they be done in larger quantities for “cakes”?
Carl Lawson says
Can’t be that easy!! Awesome I cannot believe it was that easy!? I used grapseed oil but it came out purfect. I still don’t believe it so I am doing it again..
Deborah says
I love LOVE this bread!! I use it for blueberry muffins, cinnamon bread, and put it in my waffle maker for chaffles for sandwiches!!
This is my favorite recipe and my go to bread.
I think it is very filling.❤️❤️De
AK says
I am really impressed with this recipe. It is the first I’ve tried that actually doesn’t taste coconut-y when using coconut flour. This is so easy, too. Thank you!
Riley says
PERFECT. Used Almond flour, liquid egg whites, & coconut oil for my bread bc that’s what I had on hand; used small rectangular glass dish & microwaved for 90 seconds. Time was spot on. Don’t have a toaster, so after microwave I broiled bread “slice” in oven on low setting, 2 mins each side. Keto Avocado Toast in 6 mins! My new fave recipe…thanks!!!
Kim says
I’m a HARDCORE bread eater and couldn’t imagine not eating it, which is why I never considered any diet or lifestyle change that didn’t include it . This recipe is WONDERFUL!!!!
Stopped eating meat in January and today I’ve found a way to start keto! Thank you.
Cheyanne says
Yumm
Lona Buggs says
I have made this each way. I like that I can use coconut flour or almond flour. I have added caraway seeds for rye bread. I also made a mixture of almond flour, ground flax meal,coffee flour and caraway seeds for a pumpernickel bread. All done in 90 seconds. Thank you so much.
Heidi Brons-Aasen says
I absolutely love this bread! I make it daily. I added fresh chives and garlic powder to make it even better! I also use cinnamon, nutmeg and similar spices to make it a sweet bread, and then I top it with a little Stevia and cinnamon along with better. Delicious!
kristie clark says
Could you use pumpkin as well to make a pumpkin spice bread?
April Marie Ueligitone says
All I have to say is thank you!
Manisha singh says
This is the first time I tried to make any kind of diet food and I am blown away how easy and tasty it was. Being an Indian it’s hard for me to not eat flour. This helps. Thank you jennifer.
Michelle Thompson says
I make this with coconut flour and butter, and use a mini waffle maker to cook it (don’t have a microwave). Comes out to 2 eggo sized waffles that stand in great for bread slices. I usually send them through a quick toast in the toaster to firm them up a bit.
Dee says
Love this recipe!!!
Lisa A says
To make this lighter and fluffier separate the egg white from the yolk.
With hand mixer beat the whites until stiff peaks form…like merguine.
Must be a clean bowl with no oil residue or the whites will not whip up.
Mix the oil and yolk until blended.
Mix almond flour and baking powder.
Add both mixtures to the egg whites and mix well. Microwave as directed.
Jacky Haynes says
Could this recipe be used for to cook like a pancake so I can make thinner versions? Maybe break it up into 2 servings…
jenniferbanz says
I think that should work
Kathy says
Omg! Just started Keto but I love bread been trying a lot of different recipes . I don’t have to look any farther! This is awesome! Thanks!
Erin says
Used coconut oil, and a pinch of cinnamon, toast it after with a light spread of almond butter and ? DELICIOUS! Was such a treat, and curbs that bread craving!
Christy Welch says
Looooove this bread but i wanted to double the recipe as it wasnt quite thick enough to cut in half. If I do will I cook it longer than 90 seconds??
jenniferbanz says
I would check after 90 and add more if needed
Caroline McEwan says
I made thus for the first today.. I made the batter and split it in half in my microwave egg poacher .. perfect size for both sides no need for cutting .. adjust time ever so slightly ..
Elaine L says
I am a happy happy girl! My search for an amazing and easy low carb bread has totally been satisfied. So delicious!
Tinker says
Love it ..I used sesame seeds to top it ..also used Tones onion flakes on top for a hamburger roll
alisha says
Hey Jennifer
Is the one in the picture made from coconut or almond? It looks divine.
I’ve made them with coconut flour before and i find the flavour can be overwhelming so i am praying you say almond flour haha
jenniferbanz says
I used almond flour
Tracie says
Thank you for an easy, quick recipe! I added about half a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesier flavor. Only had a 3 inch square dish. Still came out perfect in 90 seconds. A very forgiving, delicious “mug” bread. Currently enjoying a sandwich of Dijon mustard, goat cheese, pickled onions and salami. Probably sounds odd, but wow it is awesome!
LynnM says
Thank you for such a quick and easy recipe! I made one tonight, split it in half and covered both halves with pepperoni, bacon bits and mozzarella cheese (would have used pasta sauce, too, but I didn’t have any and didn’t want to take the time to whip up some) for individual pizzas. And yes, I ate both of them! 🙂 So yummy!!
Pam Buck says
I’ve been using this recipe for quite a while and I am still surprised every time that it comes out of the microwave!
I did make some small adjustments. Instead of baking powder, I use 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1/4 tsp of cream of tartar and I also include 1 tsp of flax seed husk. Always include a little sweetener.
The versatility of this bread is unreal.
For breakfast, add more sweetener and cinnamon.
For Mexican, add cumin and Italian seasonings.
For Chinese, use sesame oil, grated ginger and a smidge of soy sauce.
BEST RECIPE!!
Thank you so so much!
Nik says
Thank you for sharing, I can’t wait t try.
Question: Has anyone made several pieces? I want to know if its one egg per “slice” or if I can make more, like 2 slices with one egg?
jenniferbanz says
You could probably make 2 slices with 1 egg.
Lisa A says
If you whip the egg whites separately it will be much thicker. One egg will be enough for two slices… Like reg bread.
Bonnie D. says
Found it perfect. Firm enough to slice and toast. I just made some in a large, round, flat mug and now I’m enjoying my keto sausage breakfast sandwich.
Vidhi says
Hello! The recipe seems great but isnt approx 315 calories alot for one serving. Given that these buns are tiny and one person would have around 2 mini burgers- isnt that alot to take in? It would even have the patty in the middle adding more to it. Just curious. I looked at several recipes and many go upto 420 calories per 1 serving. Any suggestions 🙁 ?
jenniferbanz says
Keto food is usually calorie dense because of the higher fat content.
CoolMamaOf5 says
We’ve had a busy week and didn’t make any GF bread. Trying to get out the door for softball practice and all I can come up with for a quick dinner is bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches… but… my son can’t eat regular bread. Found this recipe and it turned out so good that I made myself one as well. Used a small salad bowl and got a piece that I sliced sideways and toasted for the sandwiches. Not eggy like most keto mug recipes! Bookmarked and memorized, this will be so helpful when traveling or at others’ houses. I can just bring some almond flour and the rest is usual household stuff, and my son can have bread and feel included. Thanks so much!
Nick says
You could try:-
a different brand of Cnut flour
– blitzing the flour in a fast blender to make it much finer (this helped me, but you really have to refine it)
– takes away from the instant idea, but leave the batter until next day, in the fridge, so the Cnut softens in the liquids; for this I would use oils and leave the solids (butter, coconut oil etc) out
Karen39 says
I tried making this bread with almond flour, olive oil and egg whites. It smells less eggy but it doesn’t slice well. I toasted it and added peanut butter to top. Still very good and will continue to make with whole egg. I love this bread and it freezes well, even in slices.
Alexis Nikitopoulos says
After several fails, this is the first 90 second bread that was just right! I decided to add a pinch of baking soda. I made a square one last night and had grilled cheese, then tonight used a mug and sliced into four “English muffins” before roasting in my cast iron skillet. Oh my god SO TASTY!!! Finally keto bread that doesn’t taste like an over cooked frittata!
Cathy says
If you make this in advance, how long will it keep?
jenniferbanz says
I’m not sure. I’ve never tried it
Misty says
I was curious if you know the macros if I switch the egg out for egg whites? Keto makes me log everything to the tee so I’m just trying to figure out how that would change all the macros. I made it with eggs btw and it was still amazing. I added some everything bagel seasoning which made it so delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Jewelz says
I made the recipe from memory and forgot the egg. Came out more like cornbread. I used it for my version of a Sloppy Joe. Will try again. I want to see how adding not only the egg, but cream cheese changes the texture.
Kelly says
Love this! Just made it and turned out fabulous for avocado toast. I did use sour cream instead of butter or oil. Thank you for this recipe!
Marlene says
Hi Jen, I made this recipe today. I made a 4x4x1″ square form with foil, sprayed with cooking spray and baked it in the oven as directed. I used melted butter and almond flour. DELICIOUS!!!
Amanda says
I love this bread!!! I was afraid it would be eggy but it wasn’t it has texture just like bread. And I love that I can make me a fresh piece in just 90 seconds, I cook mine in a small round bowl and am able to slice it into like a hamburger bun it’s so nice to actually have a Hamburg or sandwich on bread and not just lettuce. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe it is definitely going to make my Keto journey easier.
Faiza says
Tried it just now, and wow! So easy and quick to make! Can’t wait to try different seasonings with it 🙂 I used medium egg and coconut flour, pinch of Xantham gum and salt viola. What a life saver for those days when a slice of bread is all I am thinking of to take away the hunger. Also works so well as a single portion!
Great receipie, although I am a little anti using the microwave,this one I will make an exception for!
Slaxx says
Gonna share my exp.
Tl;dr ver: i can do this again!
I ff the recipe – used coconut flour and melted butter – except that I have a 700w microwave, and “baked” it for 2mins.
It starts to smell very strongly of eggs when almost done baking, but not as strong when you actually smell the bread after. It did not taste or smell like egg at all when eaten, and that’s a very good thing. The texture i’d say is right between bread and pancake. I was expecting that it would be thick omelet texture but no, it was almost just like bread, yet not as crumbly. The provided measurement can make a mini 2-bread sandwich if you use a rectangular microwave container, perfect for snacking. My dad ate it with sugarfree maple syrup – it really can pass as bread or pancake lol. Thanks for this recipe, will be keeping it 🙂
Kate says
Vegan version? Could i use one flax egg in place of egg? Anyone try flax egg? Looks yummy!
KAREN AVILA says
I tried the recipe using coconut flour. nice rise and springy texture. my only issue with coconut flour is that when you eat it, it feels like eating a sponge with fibers. but great recipe!
Judith says
I’ve tried this with butter and avocado oil and they both turned out so great. I also tried one batch without the egg yolk and it was still very tasty and less spongey. Thank you so much for posting this, it has made going low carb so much more feasible
Rachelle says
Haven’t tried making this yet but I’m excited to. Have you ever tried adding fruit to the batter? I was thinking of blueberries… trying to mimic a blueberry pancake… or adding bacon bits for something more savory…
jenniferbanz says
That would be great!
Linda says
The 90sec microwave bread/ I have a question. The tablespoon of oil— is it one T of all three oils listed or one T of one of those?
jenniferbanz says
Just one tablespoon of oil. You can use either coconut, butter, or avocado oil
Amanda says
I just made this as I’m new to keto and was dying for some avocado toast! I’m so excited that it turned out amazing!!! I can now enjoy my avocado toast, use it to dip the yolk of eggs, make grilled cheese! Oh man? Thank you so much for this recipe! Less temptation to cheat now!
Aakanksha says
I tired it today,didn’t rise much. Looked dry had an eggy taste.followed the recipe. Why could HV gone wrong??
CCT says
Your baking powder could be stale (inert). Also, perhaps you used baking soda instead of baking powder.
Erica says
Could this be made in an Air fryer? If so, what would be the time and temp please. Thanks
jenniferbanz says
I am not sure
Stefanie says
Oh my goodness I just made this for the first time about 10 minutes ago and it was AWESOME! I’ve been on Keto for 3 weeks and looking to expand my options. I split the batter into 2 containers so I could have 2 pieces of “bread.” I couldn’t tell if I was actually tasting the egg or just smelling it. Either way it didn’t bother me at all. I put it in a skillet and treated it just like a grilled cheese. The bread itself kind of reminded me of an English muffin. It was also super filling. I could barely finish it. TRY IT!
Eric says
Really liked this recipie! Reacently got diagnosed with IBS so iam following keto diet. This recipie has alowed me to have cheese burgers again.I used olive oil and 1 Tbs coconut flour in a 4.5 x 4.5 Tupperware container and covered with microwave cover turned out great. THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVE THIS BREAD!!!
Chelsea says
I just want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this super easy/tasty/QUICK recipe!!!!!! I’m seriously missing my breads/make a sandwich etc and this was AWESOME!
I tried two batches! One was the original recipe (almond flour/coconut oil) nothing else….the first few ones came out okay but later the last one was really THIN and hard as heck to cut and I cracked it (oops) but still tasty!
The 2nd batch was even better as I followed another reviewers comment to use 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan gum and 1 teaspoon of sour cream! I really liked this one because it fluffed up the bread a bit so after I “toasted” it I was able to slice it to make sandwiches 🙂 I also inverted the bread so I fried the outside of the “inside” of the bread and it was YUM!
I definitely used the toaster and grilled on my stovetop after but it was seriously amazing and now I just need to find a good soup to go with the sandwiches to stick to my Keto! 🙂
THANK you for this recipe! 😀 I’m curious do you know if I made a few of these in the microwave, would they do okay in the fridge in a container for 2-4 days? I’d love to have something to make for my hubby’s sandiwches and don’t mind prepping (toaster/grilling later) but I don’t know how long they’d technically “last” in the fridge? <3
Also, I'd LOVE if you could take THIS recipe and convert it to an actual 9×5 loaf pan so I can make some all at once…Please? <3 haha! 😉 Thank you again!
Lisa says
Made 90 second bread to have with our zucchini noodles and meat sauce. Was so nice to have “bread” again! Used almond flour, sprayed pan with avocado oil and microwaved in a small ceramic loaf pan. Sliced in quarters lengthwise for breadsticks. Delish!
Regina Newman says
Mine came out more of a brown color instead of yellow. Maybe the brand of almond flour I used but still Delicious!!
David says
I made this today and it came out nice but seems like something is missing. Very very dry. What did I do wrong?
Capsule says
This a THE perfect recipe of Keto bread. Delicious, soft, and 4g carbs.
I’ve used a square glass 20x20cm and it gave me thin slices . I cut my bread in 4 parts and add havarti cheese and extra lean ham on 2 bread slices. Close the sandwich with the 2 other bread slices and here we go for a very delicious meal !
Thanks for sharing !!
Talya says
Total game changer! For the first time I was actually able to eat a grilled cheese that felt like a real one, not just a weird paleo-fied version. This recipe is so simple and quick, I didn’t even expect it to work, but wow!
I used just the egg whites, as recommended, and doubled the recipe so I could make one in the microwave and one in the oven. The one in the microwave came out way better, so, perfect.
Thank you!
Barb says
Wow! This is a GREAT recipe! I made a hamburger bun by splitting the same portion recipe into 2 regular sized every day ceramic bowls sprayed with cooking spray. After 90 seconds in the microwave EACH, one at a time, I had 2 individual bun pieces which I toasted in the toaster!
After readying others comments I added to the recipe 1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum powder and a teaspoon of sour cream. It was like potato bread! Nice and springy with GREAT (not crumbly) texture! Can’t wIt to enjoy a ham and cheese sandwich or a grilled cheese on this!
Mark says
Barb, did you use coconut or almond flour?
Victor Shawnsea says
If I want to make double the quantity .. how long do I microwave?? This is yum btw!!
jenniferbanz says
I would add 30 seconds and then check to see if it’s done.
Julia says
this was great! thank you
Nat says
I love it! It was nice to have a sandwich. Thank you!!! 🙂
Saudável says
Amazing recipe can’t wait to try it
Nina Ekdahl says
This is the same recipe as this one: https://gimmedelicious.com/2018/04/07/90-second-keto-bread/
But why does it says 315 calories here and 283 on the other website? Im confused, the ingredients are the same.
jenniferbanz says
Almond flour brands range in calories. The one I use is 45 calories a tablespoon.
Tracey says
Have tried many 90 second breads by far this is the best…I’ve lost 55 lbs. following this eating plan..thank you Jennifer for the best collection
Kim says
I used this recipe for my husband who is recently diagnosed with diabetes. The first was a grilled cheese. The i made a hot ham and cheese. Tonight i doubled the recipe and made a bun for the hamburgers.
Tracey says
What are the nutrition numbers on this?
Robert Watt says
Tracy. Plan on about 300 calories and 3.5 carbs.
Christina says
Hi Jennifer,
Could I make this using a round glass dish? I dont have any square ones..
jenniferbanz says
Definitely!
MS CANDICE WARLICK says
I use round glass dishes. Works fine.
Jenny Clara says
Amazing! I tried with your recipe and it was good but still a little dry. So I added 1tbsp of coconut flour only. Added 1/2 tsp of each of the following to make it grainier: psyllium husk, ground flaxseed. Pinch of xantham gum.
Sharon says
I am just starting keto and I am gluten intolerant. I tried this recipe this morning to make mini egg-sausage sandwiches. I used coconut flour and grape seed oil because it was readily available. It came out too eggy and coconutty. I will try almond flour, egg whites, and butter next time. I baked egg and spinach in a muffin pan. Made this bread in a mug. Toasted 4 slices. It was the perfect size for my precooked eggbites. Makes great on-the-go sandwiches. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
VD says
Awesome bread recipe tried it with almond flour. Was super sceptic about the eggy taste and to my surprise it came out perfect, fluffy and *no* eggy taste. Only one small change I did is to add just half of the egg whites of one egg. It was filling too! I am almost one month into keto, this is a blessing! Many thanks Jennifer :):)
CT says
Hi there, i just tried this recipe last night, the texture is really good, but there is a bitter aftertaste, i wonder why?
jenniferbanz says
I’m not sure as I’ve never heard of that problem.
Greg says
Did you make with baking soda or baking powder? Little did I know these 2 things are different, it still works fine with the soda, but eased up a lot on the amount as apparently soda is more potent than the other. First time I made it was bitter with a half tsp. After adjusting to about a 1/4 tsp of baking soda, it comes out awesome.
Tracy Kutz says
Need to use aluminum free baking powder. I found a baking powder with no aluminum and no cornstarch, which is totally carb free. It’s sold at Target and is called Market Pantry.
Ryan says
What a great recipe! I’ve had some trial and error with this since I’ve started keto, but today I used natural Irish butter, just the egg yolk and 2/3 tbsp water with a little plain greek yogurt. So light and fluffy, not eggy at all. Grilled up with some sugar free syrup and it was like cornmeal mush or a super fluffy cornmeal pancake. Crazy delicious!
Kathryn says
Excellent recipe!! Just started on a Keto Diet, and didn’t think I would see bread again for a while. Not only does this recipe make a wonderful tasting low carb bread, it is also totally doable for a busy lifestyle. This is so practical, simple, and delicious! My whole family of bread lovers loves it and thanks you! 🙂
Monisha says
Hi Jennifer,
Im currently on the candida diet, and after few failed attempts at baking GF bread, not to mention the terrible taste of some, I was actually getting depressed trying to find a simple bread recipe, while craving for real bread. Until I found your website today and decided to try out your recipe. For the first attempt, I used 3 Tblspns ground almonds or almond meal, as this is what I had along with 1 tsp coconut flour, 1 T butter and 1 egg. Made it in a square microwave dish and after 90 seconds, I was amazed at the bread like texture! Toasted it in a skillet and had it with almond butter for tea….so happy to have found this and many thanks for such an easy and wonderful bread recipe.
jenniferbanz says
So glad you liked it!
Geegee says
I just tried this recipe and OMG! it worked great you would never know it wasn’t regular bread. I used a small loaf pan for a personal size cornbread. Wish I could upload a photo. I’m going to stir in Asiago cheese and mushrooms next time n see how it works. I’ll let you know.
Lorna says
Made this today with coconut flour and coconut oil. Forgot the punch of salt but it was excellent!! Will make again soon!!! Thank you!! ?❤
Deena says
This is a wonderful recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Pea Green says
Fantastic!!!! I used all almond flour and macadamia oil. I made two, the second one with a little sweetener. They were both delicious, light and moist, sliced beautifully and were definitely the bread substitute I have been craving. Thank you!!
Riley says
Just made this but added a tablespoon of sour cream. So yummy and moist.
Carla C Hunter says
Wow! Just made this. Added the tablespoon of sour cream & a 1/2 tsp of monk sugar. Tasted DELISH! I then immefiately used it to make a personal size pizza. Added pizza sauce, mozz & pep.. popped it oven for 13mins. Omg. Yesss!!! Thank you!
D says
I made this and used the smallest egg I had because I was worried about the ratio of egg to almond flour. I used the size pan suggested and it barely covered the bottom of the dish. So I added 2 more tbsp almond flour and added a touch of water and 1/8 tsp more baking powder. Popped in the microwave and then dry toasted in a pan over a high flame to dry it out a bit. Then slathered it with butter. It reminded me of french toast. I will try it with egg white only next time and add the sour cream as Cara Hunter mentions. The way I made this only made one slice that was not thick enough to slice into for filling. I would make a double batch for 2 slices.
Cathy says
Just made this with sour cream after reading this and it turned out great. I only cooked it for 75 seconds.

Last week I tried it with butter and it was overwhelmingly buttery flavored. So I just tried it with coconut oil and much better. However still so rich and slightly greasy even after a good toasting. That may be due to the almond flour. Next time I will try it with the coconut flour. Thank you!!

I had gastric bypass last year and I’m pretty strict when it comes to breads, carbs, sugars and a higher protein diet. Occasionally I crave a burger. This was exactly what I needed to curb my craving!!! It came out perfect. Sliced it thinly and toasted in my toaster over and a perfect mini 2oz ground pork burger with sugar free ketchup and mayo. I’m so excited that once again, I can enjoy mini burgers, breakfast sandwiches and a “slice” of toast now, guilt free!!! I used almond flour and butter…thank you for sharing

Baked today. Absolutely yummiest breakfast since I started Keto. Loved it. Thank you so much for posting.

Was looking for a quick, healthy bread for breakfast this morning and this was perfect–sliced some avocado on top, plopped on a fried egg, and I had a breakfast victory.
