90 Second Keto Bread

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.

1. Melt the butter. I do this right in this rectangular container that I use to make the bread, for less dishes to wash.
2. Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, Besti (if using), and sea salt.

3. Mix the batter. Add the flour mixture to the melted butter, then whisk in the egg and stir together until smooth.
4. 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:

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.
