Free Printable: Low Carb & Keto Food List
Get It NowLet’s be real—one of the hardest things about a keto lifestyle is missing bread. Sure, the low carb staples like healthy fats, keto veggies, and natural meats (check out my keto food list here!) are great, but sometimes you just want a sandwich. When I don’t have time to bake my favorite keto bread and run out of low carb bagels in the freezer, this 90 second keto bread saves the day. It’s crazy quick, super easy, and totally hits the spot. Make it with me when you’re short on time!
Why You Need My 90 Second Keto Bread Recipe

- Chewy texture like regular bread – So many keto mug bread recipes are dense or have a texture a bit like cornbread (which is great for keto cornbread, not so much for sandwich bread). Mine has a chewy texture and air pockets make it feel just like traditional bread.
- Super fast and easy – You only need 5 ingredients (plus salt, and one optional one). It “bakes” in just 90 seconds in the microwave, but I’ve got you covered with oven instructions too.
- Low carb, keto friendly, and gluten free – With only 1g net carb! I also have options for dairy-free and egg-free versions.


Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for my microwave keto bread recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.
- Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour – Most brands are too coarse and will give your bread a gritty texture. Mine is super fine! And then you can use it to make keto pancakes, low carb muffins, almond flour cookies, crackers, and more. If you can’t have almond flour, I have a coconut flour microwave bread in the Wholesome Yum app — it does not work as a 1:1 substitute.
- Psyllium Husk Powder – This is what I feel every other 90 second keto bread is missing, and it’s my secret to a chewy, sturdy texture. Plus, it adds fiber! You can substitute flaxseed meal for a similar effect. If you want to skip it altogether, make my microwave keto English muffin.
- Egg – For binding and lift. You can use a flax egg or other egg substitute if you need to. Just keep in mind your bread will be more fragile and denser. 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.
- Butter – Adds moisture and flavor so the bread isn’t dry. You can swap in a tablespoon of coconut oil works for a dairy-free option, or ghee for paleo or dairy-sensitive.
- Baking Powder – Make sure it’s fresh to help your bread rise. Don’t confuse this with baking soda, which is different and will leave an aftertaste.
- Optional Sweetener – Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend isn’t required, but it gives a better flavor without making the bread sweet. I recently added this to the recipe and the bread tastes better with it!
- Sea Salt – Just a pinch for balance.

VARIATION: Add herbs or spices!
Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, fresh herbs, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are all awesome ways to level it up.
How To Make It
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.
- Melt the butter. I do this right in this rectangular container that I use to make the bread, for less dishes to wash.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, Besti (if using), and sea salt.


- Mix the batter. Add the flour mixture to the melted butter, then whisk in the egg and stir together until smooth.
- Cook and slice. “Bake” your 90 second keto bread in the microwave or oven, until firm. (It’ll get golden brown in the oven too, but not the microwave.) Then, loosen the edges with a knife, flip onto a plate, and slice in half.


Just a word of warning, this 90 second bread does not look pretty coming out of the microwave! But it tastes great, and isn’t that what counts? It does look a bit better after you toast it:

My Recipe Tips
- Wondering what container to use? I use this meal prep container and it’s the perfect size for this 90 second bread You can also use a round ramekin or even a microwave-safe mug (for a keto mug bread), then slice when it’s done. I just prefer the texture when the bread “bakes” in a thinner layer.
- Whisk the batter vigorously. It helps create more air bubbles.
- Having trouble mixing? Some readers have reported this, so I wanted to share what I do. After the butter is melted, add the dry ingredients. Then when you add the egg, whisk it at the edge first and then mix in. If this seems inconvenient, you can totally mix it all in a bowl and transfer to the container afterward.
- Get the top as level as you can. Any inconsistencies tend to become more pronounced after the bread rises.
- Toast it for better flavor. Popping it in the toaster not only adds crispiness, but also tones down any eggy taste. It’s totally worth the extra step!
- Can you bake it in the oven? Yep! I have that option on the recipe card below if you prefer not to use the microwave.
- Can you make multiple slices? Sure, feel free to use multiple containers! If you want a whole loaf, this recipe is similar to my bigger almond flour bread.

Ways To Use It
You can use this keto 90 second bread just like any regular bread! Here are ways I love it:
- Sandwiches – This is the main way I use it! My go-to is a turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade mayonnaise, pictured in this post.
- Spread – It’s amazing with some grass-fed butter, chia jam, or nut butter. Sugar-free jelly works too if that’s your jam (pun intended!).
- Avocado toast – I love it with everything seasoning, or sun-dried tomatoes and microgreens.
- Breakfast – It makes the best keto breakfast sandwiches. Just layer on an egg, cheddar cheese, and your favorite cooked sausage or bacon.

Instructions
Tap on the times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer.
-
Melt the butter, ghee, or coconut oil in a small glass rectangular container (this one is the perfect size).
-
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, Besti (if using), and sea salt.
-
Add the flour mixture to the melted butter, then whisk in the egg and stir everything together until smooth. Level the top with the back of a spoon.
-
Microwave Method: Microwave for about 90 seconds, until firm.
-
Oven Method: Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees F (177 degrees C), until firm.

90 Second Keto Bread

Gratitude Moment

I’m so grateful for this 90 second bread recipe on busy days! I have to admit I grab leftovers from the fridge (so many nights are recipe testing) for lunch more often than I would like, but when I want something fresh, this bread is the perfect fast option.
I’ve been making it since 2018, but tweaked it recently to make it even better — and I love it even more now. What are your go-to quick lunch options? Let me know in the comments!

0I made this twice, once in the microwave, once in the oven. I think I prefer the oven. I used a glass bread pan both times. My bread didn’t get thick enough to slice in half. When I cooked it in the oven, I added some bagel everything seasoning to the top. I love how light the bread is compared to the heavier feel to bagels made with coconut flour.
Mer
0This is another slam dunk. I made a cold turkey and cheese and a warm grilled cheese sandwich with this recipe! This recipe really scratches that “sandwich bread” itch. THANK YOU!!
Liz
0This was delicious!! I added some chopped pecans before microwaving then I topped with low carb chia strawberry spread and it was like eating the real thing!! I had missed something sweet with my coffee in the morning and this hit the spot! Thank you!
Maria
0I made a 90 second keto bread without the psyllium-was not in the recipe-and it tasted very eggy. Does the psyllium help with that? Also, does baking the bread in the oven give it a different texture?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Maria, Yes, the psyllium does help. Toasting it also helps. Texture is similar with baking, but it gets more golden.
Sandra
0Thank you for this recipe. I just made it in a bread shaped container. I let it cool a few seconds and sliced it in half. Will toast it at your recommendation, and make a sandwich to take to the senior center for lunch. I was in such a hurry to try it, that when I came back to my Kindle, I found I still had it on the printer page. LOL
Judy
0Excellent, made it exactly like the recipe then split it and toasted. Will be making this again for sure.
Kim Cole
0I love bread and have not had ANY since starting keto 3 months ago so was very anxious to try this. Not only is it super simple and quick but tastes GREAT!!! I am so pleased!
Tish
0Fast, easy, yum!
Joel Calkins
0Oh. My. God.
10pm and I decided now was the time to try this recipe for the first time. Made it in round 4″ dish then cut into three slices. Hmm… Pizza?
Threw the slices on the Rival Pizzazz to toast, whipped up some 20 second pizza sauce, shedded 10 second mozzarella, put both on the toasted slices with pepperoni and salami and olives, then waited. Pizzas came out perfect. This recipe was perfect for it. Probably because of the other additions we didn’t taste the egg. I haven’t had anything breadlike in over three months. This was awesome. AWESOME! I will use this recipe again and again.
Eileen
0Hi your bread turned out great, no queries about that, BUT I have a big question in regards to calorie count. When I did the math, I came up with over 300 calories. Which did in fact make it equal to most other 90 second bread recipes I had found. Disappointing. Your 3 Tablespoons of almond flour alone takes you past you calorie prediction.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Eileen, I’m glad you liked it! This recipe makes 2 servings (2 large slices). A serving is 1 slice, and the nutrition info listed is per serving.
Mattie Sorvala
0Love love love this and how easy it was!
Cindy Solgere
0How many times would you multiply your 90 second bread recipe for a loaf pan?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Cindy, It would depend on the size of your loaf pan. I’d get 6 to 10 times?
Verna
0This is the best keto bread I have tried! I made it in a ramekin and ate it with butter. I can see that size being great for a breakfast on the go with egg, bacon and cheese on it. (Where did I get that idea?)
Sharon
0Our family loves this bread. I make several batches at a time & put in a 9 X 11 glass pan and bake in the oven at 350 F & then cut into squares when cool & cut each square in half.
However, cannot use for kids lunches as they are not allowed food with nuts at the school. Have you ever tried making this with coconut flour? Thanks again
Me
0Can you give me amounts for making a whole loaf at a time?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0It depends on the size of your pan and how tall you want the loaf to be. I’d suggest multiplying the recipe by 8 and starting with that, then adjust for next time if you want a different size.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you, Sharon! I don’t have a coconut flour version yet, it wouldn’t be a 1:1 replacement. In the meantime you can try this coconut flour bread.
Emily
0I will admit, mixing it up I was a little skeptical. I used a 6×8 inch glass dish and I thought there is no way this will work. I thought it would be way to thin and way to eggy. But it turned out great, I cut it in half to make 2 slices of bread. It held up great in my panini press, we love hot sandwiches and have been missing them. My husband says it was really good and I can make sandwiches like that anytime.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you and your husband liked the bread, Emily! Thank you!
Nikki
0I’m confused… the configuration is adding another egg for every 2 slices of bread…. so for a regular 20 piece loaf, I’m supposed to use 10 eggs!??
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Nikki, This recipe makes 2 very large, thick slices (about 6×4 inches each and 1/2-inch thick). You’d only need 10 eggs if your pan was at least 10 inches long, 6 inches wide, and at least 4 inches tall. Otherwise I’d probably not multiply the recipe by that many times if your pan is a more typical 9×5 or 8×4 loaf pan.
Elaine McCarthy
0Your recipe would be a lot more useful if you had included the AMOUNT of each ingredient.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Elaine, Are you in Safari reading mode? Ingredient amounts don’t show up correctly in Safari reading mode, so switch to normal mode and you’ll see them.
Alicia
0Hi! I’m new to your site. I have a question, can we buy the ingredients in the store and which ones do you recommend? I’m so new to Keto and just trying to learn as much as I can. The Psyllium Husk Powder, is that the same as Bob’s Red Mill brand?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Alicia, Welcome to the site! I hope you come back often. Many ingredients are available in store but some area easier to find online. All my recipes have links to the ingredients I use on the recipe card, so you can tap those to buy them. To answer your question about psyllium husk powder, Bob’s Red Mill brand does have this product and there are others. This is the one I used for this recipe.
Karen fisher
0Hi. I am interested in trying this recipe except the link you provide for the psyllium husk powder takes me to Amazon products such as Metamucil and Now brand. Could you please just provide the name of the brand that you use. Thanks. Karen
Wholesome Yum L
0Hi Karen, the links in the recipes are the brands that I like to use when cooking.
Lola
0This turned out really good! I made one last week that wasn’t as good, I think the psyllium husk adds a bit of a sturdiness to it and butter taste better than oil, lol, duh right! Thank you for the recipe.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked it, Lola! Have a great day!
Jodi
0When I put this in carb manager it says 3 net carbs, but I noticed you have it as 1 net carb? Just double checking
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Jodi, The nutrition info on the recipe card is correct. Sometimes there are discrepancies with calculators, but my nutrition info comes from the USDA Food Database which would be the most reliable. That being said, it can vary depending on the exact ingredients and brands you use.
Jodi
0I made this yesterday and loved it. It was the first Keto bread recipe I tried and will definitely be my go to. I didn’t have the Psyllium husk powder but it was still great. Thanks for all your great recipes!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked it, Jodi! Have a great day!
Kelly Howell
0I didn’t have the psyllium husk powder either, but since I’m not gluten intolerant I used Vital Wheat Gluten (really high protein and low carb – 4 carbs per TBSP – and this recipe calls for only one tsp! Yea!!). This really increased the protein and even though I don’t like trying new recipes that I have to make substitutions, this was GREAT!!
Thank you! I’m new to Keto, and this recipe will make the difference for me, I’m sure! LOL Love your blog!
Jodi
0I loved this one. I was really craving bread and this hit the spot. This is the first bread recipe I have ever tried and will be my go to. I didn’t have Psyllium husk powder so I skipped it. Can’t wait to try it with it.
Thank you for all the great recipes!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0You are welcome, Jodi!
JRZ
0I love this recipe. So easy and quick. And the most important aspect: it is the best low carb bread that I have tried. Good texture, no weird taste, it is excellent. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Highly recommended.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that! Thank you!
Kathleen Labounty
0Best darn grilled cheese ever! I added 1 tsp of ground flax. Yum!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Kathleen! Thanks for stopping by!
sandra villarreal
0I gave this a try and added pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and a little erythritol. I love this very easy and fast to make. I love that you can make this Keto/Paleo because we have both living in the home. Yahoo I can have bread whenever I want and not pay $6.00 for a small loaf.
Thank you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Yay! I am happy you like the bread, Sandra! Thanks for stopping by!
Lori
0This is a great recipe! It really does have a bread-like texture. I actually used ground flax seed because I don’t use psyllium husk.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you, Lori! Good to know that worked for you with ground flax seed.
Farzana
0Hi! Can I make this in my waffle maker? Skip the microwave and toasting?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Farzana, I have not personally tried this recipe in a waffle iron, but I think it would work fine.
Malaika
0Is psyllium fiber powder the same thing? I feel like it is but I want to make sure!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Malaika, Yes, it’s the same thing.
Claudia
0Hi there, Just tried the bread! It was delicious! When I looked at the nutrition, it came out that there is a lot more calories, fat and carbs in it than the recipe shows.
I love the bread – just wanted to let you know!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Claudia, I’m glad you liked the bread. Nutrition info for all ingredients comes from the USDA Food Database, so is accurate.
Sara
0Does it work to grind psyllium husk flakes into powder?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Sara, Yes, you can! Just grind finely and then measure for the recipe once it’s ground to a powder.
Sara
0Great texture…I baked a single recipe in my small cast iron pan and it came out beautifully. Still a bit too egg-y tasting but will read the comments and see if someone came up with an alteration that would help this.
Thanks!
Diane
0This sounds GREAT! Can’t wait to try.
What size is the small rectangular dish is it? doesn’t sound like a 9×13.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thanks for stopping by, Diane. This is the dish I used. Enjoy!
Sandie
0Never will someone find a recipe so simple and so good! I added a few pinches of Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, chia seeds … yum! Thanks so much for the great recipes and the nutritional value on each !!!! Love your site 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Sandie! Thanks for stopping by!
Anna
0It tastes great! Mine got stuck to my glass pan though, any suggestions?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I’m glad you liked the taste, Anna! It could be that it needed to cook a little longer. It tends to stick if it’s not fully done. Otherwise you can also grease the pan first to be on the safe side, though I usually don’t.
Lynda
0Really good. I added different spices and used different size containers to cook the bread in. I did 4 different times. One flavored for spicy sandwich bread, another for pizza bread round and a smaller round for breakfast to use with eggs/bacon/cheese so I added cheese to bread mix without affecting cook time. Finally did one that has a slightly sweet taste with cinnamon and a bit of Swerve. I wondered if adding the Swerve would affect cooking but it did not. It was not real sweet but met my sweet tooth that night while making.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I love all of your fun suggestions, Lynda! Thanks for sharing with us!
Kirsten
0My son loves toast with peanut butter and honey. I made this 90 Second Keto Bread, toasted it, and added peanut butter and Sukrin Gold Fiber Syrup. Awesome!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy your son liked it, Kirsten! Thanks for stopping by!
Deb
0I feel like I died and went to heaven. Have been eating burgers bunless, but no more. I ate the whole thing after slicing in half and toasting, for a whole 2 net carbs, wow! And very filling.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Deb! Please come back again soon!
Maria
0Hi—-and thanks. Your 90 sec bread recipe motivated me to start low carb bread making again. Something i needed very much to do. I liked it as is, but decided to try this: 2 tablespoons of almond flour and 1 tablespoon of oat fiber (and the other ingredients as listed—the psyllium husk is a stroke of genius). I think the texture and taste is more “bready”—-less almond flavored this way, and worth a try for anyone who has some oat fiber on hand. Also a little lower in carbs, but not much. Thanks again for your inspiring website and this recipe.
Julie
0Yes, definitely add the 1 tbsp oat fiber! I didn’t even try the original recipe, as I’m always trying to lower the carbs and find you can sneak in a little oat fiber almost anywhere, lol
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you stopped by, Maria! Have a great day!
Susan
0I am allergic to almonds. What to use instead of almond flour?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Susan, You can try sunflower seed meal, but the flavor would be a bit different.
Becca
0I might just be drawing a blank, but I cannot find the amounts of the ingredients to make this recipe. I HAVE all the ingredients but how much of each am I using? So sorry if it’s somewhere in the article but I cannot find it. Thank you!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Becca, The ingredient amounts and instructions are on the recipe card right above the comment form.
Jeannine Mellott
0I modified this a bit and it tastes much more bread-like to me. Instead of 3 T of almond flour, I used 1.5 T almond flour, 1 T coconut flour and 0.5 T flaxseed meal. It did not smooth out as well, but did a great job with wet fingertips!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thanks for sharing your substitutions with us, Jeannine!
Shane
0Hi Maya. Just wanted to say I have just tried this and so far love it (hoping that it was not beginners luck) I have been placed on the FODMAP diet and buying bread to suit gets rather costly. This costs very little and very little time to make, so now I have fresh bread to make first thing in the morning for my lunch at work. Love this web site. My next try will be the low carb loaf to trick my naysayer friends that it’s just as good but better for them compared to their store bought loaves.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Good luck with the bread, Shane! Thank you for stopping by!
Catherine
0This is by far the best recipe I tried for Keto bread! And so easy to make. I made the recipe x5 and it still turned out wonderful. I bake it in the oven every time and the 15 is spot on! Thank you 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you so much, Catherine! I love hearing that.
Juli
0Do I need to use gluten free baking powder?
Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Juli, Any baking powder will work!
Christine
0Better in oven or microwave?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Christine, It works in either one!
Lynda
0Delicious and easy! To make it ahead of time, would I toast it now or wait until I’m ready to eat it?
thank you
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you, Lynda! You can make it ahead but it’s best to toast it right before eating.
Cheryl Geller
0Is there a difference between gluten free baking powder and regular? My bread didn’t rise and doesn’t look at all like yours. It was also very hard to get out of the glass pan.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Cheryl, There is no difference in terms of rising. Many brands of baking powder are naturally gluten-free, just not all, so I mention it just in case for people that want to be GF. If your bread didn’t rise, it might be that the baking powder isn’t fresh enough, or it could be that the batter wasn’t mixed well enough. I’d check those two things for next time.
Vince
0Made it just like the recipe but added Trader Joe’s Everything seasoning and a pinch of stevia powder. Cooked it in a 12 oz ramekin in the microwave. Best keto bread I’ve tried! Excellent texture, excellent flavor, and very durable. Next I’ll try quadrupling the recipe to make enough for 4 sandwiches. Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you so much, Vince! It sounds delicious with that seasoning. I actually quadrupled the recipe last week, using several larger containers at once, and it worked great (with a bit longer cook time). Hope it worked for you, too!
Linda
0Have you ever made it in a glass pie plate and used it for pizza crust? I love this bread and I am dying for a pizza. Tried them all and they don’t taste good to me.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Linda, I haven’t tried that. I think this would be too soft and fluffy for pizza crust, and the batter likely would be too thin to press into the sides of a glass pie plate. Have you tried this fathead pizza crust?
Michelle
0Oh my gosh!! I was so nervous but hopeful about this recipe… It was FANTASTIC! I really, really do not enjoy eggy flavored anything (other than plain eggs). This was awesome and I just finished eating a delicious BLT. Thank you so much!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked the bread, Michelle! Thanks for stopping by!
Deana Dorscher
0So I couldnt find psyllium husk powder anywhere. So I substututed flax seed that tried to make flax powder (fail), they still looked whole. I used the flax any way and about 1/16 teaspoon of xanthan gum powder, otherwise everything else was the same. It turned out really good. I liked the crunchy flax seeds.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you for sharing, Deana! Good to hear those substitutions work. If you ever want to try with psyllium husk powder, the link to the one I use is on the recipe card.
Diana
0I was soooo skeptical about this recipe. I tried it tonight. I can not believe how wonderful it taste as well as the fact that the texture is excellent. I used orange flavored psillium husk powder and it made the most wonderful toast and eggs. I am very excited to try your other recipes now. Thank you very much for your commitment to finding the perfect , and so very easy, recipes.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you so much, Diana! Toast and eggs with this sounds awesome.
Marsha
0Thank you. I will try his recipe.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hope you’ll like it, Marsha!
