Keto Microwave Bread
Making bread in the microwave may sound weird, but it is something you have to try before you dismiss it. Many people miss bread when they first start a keto diet, so the fact that this delicious keto mug bread can be made in just a few minutes can be a huge relief.
Don’t Have a Microwave?
Not to worry! You can still make this recipe even if you don’t have a microwave. Follow the recipe the same way as described below, but instead of microwaving it, you can bake it in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. The truth is it will probably taste even better fresh from the oven.
Make a Bigger Batch
If you want to make a larger serving of bread at one time, the cooking time will increase. A standard size mug bread will take between 70-80 seconds, but if you want to make a double batch it may take closer to two minutes in the microwave.
Coconut Flour vs. Almond Flour
A question we always get asked is if you can substitute between these two keto friendly flours. Typically you are best served by not trying to make the swap because coconut flour is much more absorbent than almond flour. That being said, to make this recipe using coconut flour, try using just over 1/2 cup in place of the 2 cups of almond flour.

Keto Mug Bread
What You Need:
- Microwave
Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tsp psyllium husk powder
- 1/2 tbsp ground golden flaxseed meal
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
- Add 1 tbsp of butter to a microwave safe bowl. (We use a coffee mug for this single serving recipe) Microwave for 15-30s or until butter is melted.
- Add the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, ground flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt and an egg. Mix it thoroughly with a fork until uniform.
- Microwave on high for 70-80 seconds. Eat is as is or flip onto a plate and slice in half to use for a sandwich or side to your meal!
It looks great, I was wondering if you could use oat fiber in place of the psyllium husk powder?? I also was wondering if you guys have tried Carbquik and what’s your opinion on it??
I think the oat fiber might work well. The texture might be different. Carbquik has some egg powder and oils in it to begin with, so it may cause the bread to taste a little eggy. Also, Carbquik is high in fiber so be conscious of that as well.
Can you send me the recipe for making just one serving? I can’t eat it fast enough to keep a large amount in a jar. Thx!
You can store it in your freezer to help with that! Try our https://www.ketoconnect.net/low-carb-biscuits/
This sounds like a delicious recipe! I was wondering if you can just add more almond flour or another substitute for the flax meal?
You could try it!
So good! I made some mix this morning & just made a serving for my lunch. I ate it topped with MaraNatha Coconut Almond Butter. Delish!!!
What size are those ramekins you are using in the video?
I believe 3-4 inchs in diameter!
Thank you for the recipe! If you add other flavors/ingredients, will you need to alter the original amounts of the mix?
1/4 of dry should remain a good base for the bread.
Does it have to be golden flax? Or can you use brown flaxseeds?
You can use brown. Golden just has a milder flax flavor.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the new recipe.
Hey guys, love the recipe and the work you do here – would you mind adding the wet ingredients to your list for this recipe? Only dry, powder-based ingredients are listed. Thanks!!
Thank you! Just added.
Hi I was wondering if this would work in my toaster oven? And if so how long to bake it? We don’t have a microwave.
Thanks Karen
Not sure! We don’t have a toaster oven.
The instructions further up in the comments for cooking it in the oven say to do it at 350 for 20 minutes, so for the toaster oven I’d say you probably want to cook it at 325 and start checking for doneness after like 17 minutes. Toaster ovens do vary, though, so you may need to experiment a bit.
This recipe looks like the microwave bread in your recipe book, but adds the pysillum husk. My question is that the books has 25g of fat and 10g of protein per serving, but this recipe lists 13g and 5g, respectively. What is the difference?
Thanks!
The book may include the macros for the egg and butter. This is the macros for the dry mixture.
Huh, is it possible for future recipes to have macros for the entire recipe? Seems like it would be less confusing that way.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Ken
Sorry about that. This is a recipe for a bulk bread mixture. We will look into getting the macros per mug loaf.
That’s great! I have to make substitutions to lower the saturated fats/cholesterol, so having the macros for the dry mix alone is a huge help. Thanks!
Oh no! So the 159 calories are just for the dry ingredients? I count calories on MFP (since oct-doing great and do a lot of your recipes, have book too) but I wanna make sure I’m counting my food right. Thx
i love watching you guys make these easy fast keto recipes. i have tried the cauliflower salad recipe. love it
Is the golden flax meal whole or ground?
Ground
All I have is flaxseed meal whole ground is this OK? I’m desperate for a great bread recipe
You mean instead of the almond flour? It won’t come out the same without that.
Thanks for this money saver!❤️
Is the golden flax meal is flax seed been powder? And can I use other kind of seed?
Hi,
I love the videos you guys make and have seen some great ones. However I don’t use a microwave to cook anything cause I think it kills the food. So wondering how I could adapt this to baking in the oven?
Another tip: it’s better to grind your flaxseed fresh as it goes rancid very quickly; even if kept in freezer after being ground.
Yes oven at 350 for 20 minutes
Yes at 350 for 20 minutes
Hi guys,
Can coconut flour be used vs. almond flour and if so, would all the measurement stay the same?
Thank you,
Ann P.
You could experiment with coconut flour. The amounts will not be the same. You will need a lot less coconut flour.
If I don’t do dairy, will it still turn out ok to substitute the butter with a butter flavored coconut oil?
Sure!
thats good to know. Did you use a 4 or 6 oz ramekin?
I believe 3-4 inchs in diameter!
Please unsubscribe me.
Thank you
Helena
you have to do it yourself, no one can “unsubscribe you”
Hi Megha can you make this with coconut flour
You will have to use a lot less coconut flour, and do some experimenting with amounts!
If you ever make this recipe based on your allergy, please let me know. Thank you!
Yes, that would be great to make this with coconut flour. I have tree but allergies so Almonds are out if the question for me.
