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!

I've been keto for almost a year and I kind of gave up on microwave "breads"-- most just aren't that great, and at this point I don't crave carbs anymore anyway. However, I had some grilled eggplant that was begging to go on some toasty bread, so I made this recipe on a whim using the coconut flour, and a sprinkle of trader Joe's "everything but the bagel" seasoning on top. It was FANTASTIC. A definite keeper, thank you so much for sharing!
Christina says
I made mine with an egg white. I didn’t taste the egg. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
Barbara says
Just made a loaf of 90 second Keto bread. Someone posted recipe on FB:
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1 1/2 sticks butter (1/2 cup + 1/4 cup)
5 teaspoons baking powder
10 eggs
Melt butter in microwave. Add almond flour, baking powder and eggs to melted butter and mix with fork until well mixed.
Pour into greased loaf pan. I lined bottom with parchment paper.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 30. Cool on rack for 15 minutes and remove from pan.
Makes about 16 slices. Not sure best way to keep it, may try some in fridge and freeze some.
Cat says
I've made this in the microwave and baked it in the oven, both baking methods turn out great. Toasting afterward in a cast iron skillet with butter is the key. It eliminates the gumminess that is really obvious in the microwave cooking method. I love this bread! I can have sandwiches again any time I want without having to make a whole loaf! Had BLTs two nights this week with fresh tomotoes from my garden. Most GF breads are terrible. While this article one does have a slightly eggy taste, it's not that noticeable once you get your sandwich stuff on it. The texture is great, a lot like "real" bread. Thanks so much for this recipe!
Waamy says
I made this and it came out amazing. I made mine into a grilled cheese and used garlic salt when toastimg to help with the nutty taste. Really you could add cinnamon and sugar substitute before you microwave for a sweet bread. Or instead of grilled cheese make a grilled tuna melt.
Michele says
I just started a keto way of eating and was seeking a breakfast that wasn't just straight up eggs and bacon (though, delicious!) I gave this a try and it exceeded my expectations. Splitting it and toasting it gave it just the right texture. I'm looking forward to trying a little bit of rosemary next time. Thank you for this recipe and for your tips (baking in the ramekin had it popping right out!)
Lois says
I finally remembered to tap the ramekin. It was fluffy, beautiful & delicious.
Jodee Meyer says
Reverse almond and coconut flour amounts. It's much better. I also add 2 pieces crumbled bacon, spread with butter and eat. YUMMY
Trayci Brazell says
First try came out perfectly and made a delicious breakfast sandwich!
Sharon says
Jus made this today using coconut flour and olive oil - it tasted wonderful. Thank you for sharing the recipe. My husband is coeliac so is over the moon to have a quick and easy recipe for bread that actually tastes like bread!
Delisa says
A great recipe! I add cinnamon and some liquid Stevia to make it like a sweet bread. It's so good!
Mary says
This is excellent, thank you!
Katie says
This is amazing. I have a yeast allergy and found this recipe. I wasn’t concerned about Keto so I made it with regular flour. I’m astonished at the wonderful taste. I have one request, can you publish a recipe to make this into a loaf???
Aimee says
Thanks for sharing a great recipe it is such an
awesome bread substitute. I made this the first time with almond meal and it was great as it had a more grainy texture due to the chunkiness of the meal. The second time I substituted one of the tablespoons of almond meal
with LSA which was a bit more savoury. Both times the texture reminded me of a moist grain bread, similar to Burgen soy and linseed bread. That was my favourite before giving us bread. Thanks again ?
Tammy says
Thanks for sharing! For those who find it too eggy tasting try your eggs at room temperature it does seem to help.
Andrea says
Just made a delightful hamburger with this recipe for the buns. Delish!
Natasha says
THANK YOU! I have made this several times a week since starting keto and it has been an absolute lifesaver! Sliced in half and toasted really makes the perfect base for just about anything you would normally put on bread.
Dana Wisdom says
I cooked this in my waffle maker then added some cinnamon and Walden farms maple syrup....crazy filling, and omg... good!
cheryl says
This is a great idea for microwave. It had a great coconut flavor with coconut oil, except it tasted too eggy. Texture was good, then fried in butter. Next time will substitute egg with egg beaters or egg whites. Other than too much egg flavor it was a good idea. Gave 4 stars because of too much egg flavor.
Kjersti "Kj" says
Tried it tonight, because there was a loaf of bread on the counter. Had to open Coconut flour and t it. It was great!! was thinking of adding the Everything but the Bagel seasoning when I get it. Happy dance in Minnesota!
Christa Williams says
I have tried this twice... and I plan to continue to make variations. I can't eat eggs, so I did try this recipe with Bob's Red Mill egg replacer, and it was great. The first time I made this I subbed melt for the oil (I don't eat dairy either, but I wanted a butter flavor), I used blanched almond flour, and egg replacer. The rest of the recipe was as is. It was good. I made it again tonight, and I used 2 Tablespoons of fine almond meal, 1 Tablespoon of coconut flour, 3/4 T coconut oil, 1/4 T olive oil, 1 T organic applesauce, and the rest of the recipe as is. While no longer Keto... it was tasty. AND it was approved by my 9 year old food critic who happens to have celiac disease. Sadly, the nut allergic kid can't eat it. The silver lining? This takes no time at all to make, and it's good! So now I'm trying to think of how else to experiment with this recipe.
Lindsey says
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and including the measurements for coconut flour too! I’m allergic to almonds and so many of the Keto “bread” recipes use almonds flour. Today though I actually tried this recipe with some raw pumpkin kernel flour, which I subbed exactly for almond flour. It turned out awesome (though slightly green) ? I melted the butter in the Pyrex container I microwaved the bread in and then added everything else to the butter. It came out of the Pyrex beautifully! I did cut it in half and lightly buttered it to make grilled cheese. The texture was great! Now I just need to calculate the macros for pumpkin kernel flour. 🙂
I may try half pumpkin half coconut next time to cut the carbs down more, but it’s definitely a keeper! Thanks again!!
Norah says
First low carb bread I've made. It was wonderful! I think it tastes better than regular bread. I used butter in mine and cooked it in a round glass Pyrex 2 cup food container. It came out great! I sliced it in half and made a tuna salad sandwich with it. This will be a staple for me. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
Sass says
How many carbs us this bread p.s. great recipe
Tammy says
Has anyone figured out how to use less butter or a lower fat alternative? I’d like to lower the amount of fat in this recipe since I make it every day! 🙂
marielv says
thank you for the recipe! i will definitely cook (or should i say, microwave) this again! it has the texture of a bread and doesn't taste eggy at all, unlike other keto bread recipes out there.
I put peanut butter on it and it's yum!
Judy says
Thank you for the reply! I did spray the ramekin with coconut oil spray, ever so lightly. It didn't want to come out real easy - I had to gently pry it out. So maybe it shouldn't be sprayed. ? I baked it in a 4" diameter glass Pyrex storage dish . I probably should have waited 10 minutes before trying. It was delicious by the way! Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Ioana says
I am a huge fan of the 90-second keto bread. Can you please tell me where can I find the 4x4 microwave safe container? I really want to make in the shape of a bread slice:). Thank you in advance!
Crystal says
What are the total carbs, fober, protein, net carbs, fat in this bread please.
cassie says
I put this recipe into MyFitnessPal and it says 5g carbs, 2g fiber, 29g fat.
Thanks for the recipe, Jennifer! I love it!
I had trouble slicing it in 2 so I now toast it and then slice, much easier!
Ayomide Longe says
Awesome!! It turned out great!
Hannah says
Hi. This looks wonderful. (Pinned & shared.) Really missing grilled cheese and BLTs. I am wondering what the wattage of your microwave is as mine is higher than average and I am thinking I will need to shorten the cooking time.
Thank you.
Elizabeth P says
Shalom,
I triple the recipe , plus add flax meal and nutritional yeast. Have not tried to use egg replacer, yet. Everyone enjoys my bread. I bake it in a nice large round mug, so I have round slices. Depending on how sharp your knife is, you can possibly get 8 thin slices, but no more, makes the bread too thin. The cost of Almond meal is around $10 so, I will experiment with the coconut flour to see if it has a good flavor and consistency. It is less expensive and I am on a fixed budget.
Thanks and G-d bless.
Cheryl says
This bread was amazingly good!!! I had read so many negative posts on other Keto bread recipes that I was almost ready just to give up on having a decent low carb sandwich. To my surprise this quick bread recipe was delicious!!! I made a grilled cheese sandwich with it and love it. ????
Nissa says
Hello. Made this and it was amazing. Quick question. The net carbs I'm getting aren't the same. I used Bob's red mill almond flour. Could that be the reason I'm getting 5.5 net carbs?
Cindy says
Tried this with the almond flour and butter ... awesome! A new staple for 2018!
Christa Williams says
I made it with egg replacer "Bob's Red Mill" tonight. It worked great.
Amanda says
Just made it, loved it. Any advice, I tapped on counter but it cooked thick in the center on top and bottom. Thanks
Nissa says
This happened to me too. It's the container you used. I just sliced it into 3 pieces and toasted it. Delish!
Katie says
Just made this with wegmans basting oil and it's basically a really good garlic bread!!! I put in the toaster for a few min after microwave... yum!!!! Could you give all the nutrition facts for this recipe?
Jeri Elliott says
I'd like to make this up as a larger amount--i.e.a loaf--Is this do=able by just increasing all of the ingredients eg for a 7 slice loaf increas everything 7 times?
Emily says
I am so intrigued by this recipe and would have never guessed you can make bread in the microwave! Love it.
Annemarie @ justalittlebitofbacon says
What a great idea for a quick slice of bread whenever you need it. This would be great for anyone who is gluten free.
