Keto Bread in 90 Seconds!
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)
- 1/2 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 1/3 Tablespoon Coconut Flour
- 1 Tablespoon oil or melted butter
- 1/2 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)

Keto Bread in 90 Seconds!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp almond flour (see my favorite on Amazon) (or 1 1/3 tbsp coconut flour)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg (See notes on how to make this less "eggy")
- tiny pinch of kosher salt
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 4×4 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 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!
I tired it today,didn’t rise much. Looked dry had an eggy taste.followed the recipe. Why could HV gone wrong??
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!!!
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!
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!
I use a paper bowl, and it works great.
Mine came out more of a brown color instead of yellow. Maybe the brand of almond flour I used but still Delicious!!
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 !!
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!
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!
If I want to make double the quantity .. how long do I microwave?? This is yum btw!!
I use a 5×4 Pyrex dish, and it works just fine.

this was great! thank you
I love it! It was nice to have a sandwich. Thank you!!! 🙂
Amazing recipe can’t wait to try it
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.
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
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.
What are the nutrition numbers on this?
Tracy. Plan on about 300 calories and 3.5 carbs.
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.
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!
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 :):)
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!
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! 🙂
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.
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.
This is a wonderful recipe. Thank you for sharing!
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!!
Just made this but added a tablespoon of sour cream. So yummy and moist.
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!
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
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.
Stephanie, did you try the waffles? I am looking for some that get crispy on the outside and thought you were on to something there. Just wondering how it turned out:)
I just made this for my son as he usually has Nutella on bread. I haven’t started him on the full force keto just yet (hence the Nutella lol) but am slowly introducing him to different options and omitting high carb foods from the house. While he wasn’t completely sold, I freaking loved it. I made it with coconut flour, and I toasted it after. Extremely dry, but The flavour was amazing, I’m just going to add some oil on top of the butter next time. Also going to try to triple the recipe, add some Keto sweetener, beat the egg whites until fluffy and then fold the remaining ingredients in to make my waffles! Thanks so much for this 🙂 my brain is going overboard with new ideas now with this base recipe!
Loved this!! Thank you!!
I am amazed! I made this today and it came out perfect! Will definitely make it again and again and again… thank you so much for sharing!
I just made this tonight and will probably make it again. While yours has a nice buttery yellow look, mine is pasty white. But I toasted it, buttered it, and put a slice of cheese in it to make a cheese sandwich. Yes, it does have a bit of an eggy taste but I guess I can throw bacon on there and have a filling sandwich. Thanks for the share!
I made this the second time and doubled everything but the egg; no eggy taste and a good bread texture. Loved it!
Pk, I just tried your suggestion, and doubled everything but the egg. It turned out a mile high and fluffy. I filled mine with a slice of black forest ham and a slice of real cheese. OMGosh, it’s the closest thing I’ve had to a ham and cheese biscuit in a very long time… it was perfect!
Made this for the kids this morning because we didn’t have anymore loaf keto bread.
Made it with coconut flour and oil.
They love it . 5 stars for kid approved ?
This was really delicious with my sweet potato soup for lunch today, so easy to make fresh in the microwave at work ?
OMGosh!!! This was the BEST keto bread I have ever had!!! Amazing! I do agree, that in some applications, I can see where the slightly eggy taste might bother some (not me, lol). So the simple fix was in fact, to use egg white. It held together….no crumble, no fall apart. I can’t wait to make a loaf worth and share with the fam. I think my husband feels like keto is more of a punishment. LOL. But THIS is gonna help change his mind! Thank you tons. Like others, I’d almost given up on keto breads. 😉
Excellent!
Haven’t had sandwiches in ages since refusing to pay $7 for gluten free loaf or invest in bread maker. I’ve been craving tomato sandwiches. Just ate the best tasting one ever! Used almond meal/flour and melted butter, then toasted it. Cannot thank you enough!
Good morning!
I tried your 90second bread.
I baked up fabulous but a little too much eggy taste but to make a sandwich I am sure I will love it. BUT I melted 1 Tablespoon butter then added 1 Tablespoon raisins and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and then regular recipe. It came out awesome. Thank you so much for your site!
Mine did not turn out like the video. The “batter” was pasty like cookie dough. It tasted fantastic and I will make it again, and again, and again! But do you have a clue as to where I went wrong? I used coconut flour.
