90 Second Keto Bread (Best Kind!) - Wholesome Yum (2024)

Let’s face it: One of the biggest things people miss on a keto diet is bread. While the fundamentals of a low carb lifestyle are healthy fats, keto vegetables, and natural meats (see the keto food list here!), sometimes I just want a sandwich. And, when I don’t have time to make my favorite keto bread or even use my keto bread mix, this 90 second keto bread recipe comes to the rescue. It’s quick, simple, and so satisfying when I’m in a hurry.

Ingredients & Substitutions

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for keto mug bread, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.

• Butter – Provides moisture and flavor, and prevents the bread from being dry. You can also use coconut oil or ghee for a dairy-free or paleo version, respectively.
• Almond Flour – Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour is the main ingredient, instead of white flour. This brand has the finest grind and is blanched for the best texture in bread, pancakes, muffins, cookies, crackers, and more. Many other brands are too coarse and leave a gritty texture. If you need a nut free version, try my cloud bread instead. Keep in mind that coconut flour does not work as a 1-to-1 substitute, so if you want to use coconut flour, your best bet is to follow the coconut flour microwave bread recipe in theWholesome Yum app.
• Psyllium Husk Powder – This is the key to making this keto 90 second bread chewy and sturdy with air pockets, giving it a texture that’s like real wheat bread. As a bonus, it adds fiber! I don’t recommend omitting it because it’s important for texture, but you can substitute flax seed meal for a similar effect.
• Baking Powder – To help the bread rise! Don’t confuse this with baking soda, which is different and will leave an aftertaste here.
• Sea Salt– Just a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
• Egg– This acts as a binder and also helps with lift. For the right batter ratio, use a large egg for this low carb microwave bread. You can also use a flax egg or other egg substitute, but the bread will be a little more fragile and less airy with those. Some people make this type of bread with only egg whites, but I recommend including the yolk because the bread turns out more rubbery using only whites.

How To Make 90 Second Keto Bread

This section shows how to make keto 90 second bread, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.

1. Melt butter. In a small glass rectangular container (this one is the perfect size) in the microwave, melt the butter. (You can also melt on the stovetop if you prefer.)
2. Mix dry ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. (You can also stir them directly into the melted butter, but they mix better if you whisk separately first.)
3. Combine. Add the flour mixture to the melted butter, whisk in the egg, and stir everything together until smooth. Level the top with the back of a spoon.
4. Cook. Zap it in the microwave or bake in the oven, until the bread is firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
5. Slice. Run a knife along the edges, then flip onto a plate or paper towel to release. Cut the rectangle in half crosswise to form two (almost) square, thick slices.

Storage Instructions

You can keep 90 second bread on the counter for about a day, in the fridge for about a week, or freeze it for up to 3-6 months.

Ways To Use 90 Second Keto Bread

You can use 90 second bread in all the same ways that you’d normally enjoy bread! Here are some ideas:

• Sandwiches – This is my favorite way to use keto 90 second bread. It’s so quick! My go-to lunch is a turkey sandwich with lettuce and homemade avocado oil mayo. But you can also make other sandwiches like a classic keto BLT, a simple keto grilled cheese, a delicious low carb reuben, or even keto peanut butter and jelly.
• Spread – This bread is delicious smeared with some grass-fed butter, nut butter, or even chia jam or sugar-free jelly. You could also toast it, slather with butter, and add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a sweet treat.
• Avocado toast – If you like to freeze avocados like I do, spreading the mashed avocado on the bread is delicious and a great way to use them. Of course, you can do the same with fresh avocado.
• Breakfast –Try a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheddar cheese, and either sausage or bacon.
