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.
Please unsubscribe me.
Thank you
Helena
you have to do it yourself, no one can “unsubscribe you”
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!
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.
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
Is the golden flax meal is flax seed been powder? And can I use other kind of seed?
Thanks for this money saver!❤️
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.
i love watching you guys make these easy fast keto recipes. i have tried the cauliflower salad recipe. love it
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
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.
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.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the new recipe.
Does it have to be golden flax? Or can you use brown flaxseeds?
You can use brown. Golden just has a milder flax flavor.
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.
What size are those ramekins you are using in the video?
I believe 3-4 inchs in diameter!
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!!!
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!
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/
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.
I usually love the recipes here, but I have to say I hated this one and couldn’t even eat it. On to another recipe…
Flax is estrogenic…. very bad for women.
Any substitute??
Can it be done with Cassava flour and Collagen; if so, how much of each and thanks.
Not sure. Will take some experimenting!
Can you substitute ground flaxseed for Golden Flax meal ?
Yep!
I don’t like eggs, so I’m planning to try this with coconut milk and baking powder…should be fine, right?
It may be dry or crumble, but it is worth a try.
Hi, this is what I did to replace the egg- added some dry coconut milk powder to the mix, and a large splodge say about 3tbsps of pumpkin purée when baking. It’s a bit dense, but so good to have something “bready” for breakfast. Thanks for the simple recipes you keep posting
Your added gelatin to some of your recipes and said it made them outstanding. Can I add some to this? If so, how much would you suggest??
You can experiment with the gelatin in your own baking! We haven’t tried it in this recipe.
Well aren’t you just the most brilliant people around!!! We did this back in the 60’s. I think it was Jane Kinderleher that did this type of thing. It might have been Adelle Davis.
I think you both are down right amazing. Thank you for you time to make videos and posting recipes.
Can you make the recipe without the flaxseed & pysillum husk?
You can try our other recipe! https://www.ketoconnect.net/low-carb-biscuits/
Hi gang! Long time fan here 🙂 I have been searching to find the last mug cake recipe you had a couple months ago, which i LOVE: it calls for baking soda, almond flour, , (NO husks or flax), and then I can’t remember what else. Do you know the one I mean and if so could you please post it or send it to me?!
Also— yes you can totally make these in a toaster oven! I use silicone muffin cups or a cute tiny cake pan.
Just made this… DELISH! Thank you for such a simple and easy way to enjoy guiltless bread! 😉
SO good! I’ve made this twice now: the first time I added some cinnamon (maybe like 1/4 tsp or so) and a few drops of liquid stevia to the batter, then sliced and buttered it hot out of the microwave and it tasted just like French toast! The second time I let it cool a bit after coming out of the microwave, then sliced and griddled the halves in butter until golden-brown, and topped them with almond butter, which was a super satisfying breakfast! Thank you so much for the dry mix in bulk–makes it so quick and easy to throw together, and I imagine I’ll be keeping this dry mix on hand pretty much constantly from now on.
LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys and the recipes! Can you sub out Oat Fiber for Psyllium Husk?
Just made this and used the first one as a hamburger bun. Yummy and so easy. Thanks guys.
Anything I can use I lieu of flaxseed. The entire family is sensitive to it. Thinking of trying ground chia
Is there anyway I can substitute the egg?
Thank you 🙂
You can find a recipe for a flax egg online 🙂
How important is the golden flax to the bread? I have normal flax.
Normal will work, it may just have a stronger flax taste.
Hi Matt and Megha, Thank you for this recipe! Its awesome good. My husband even likes it. I need to get your suggested brand of flax when I run out because the color is kinda blue brown… but wow! what a life saver in keeping me on track. I love it toasted with my eggs. You guys rock! keep up the awesome work. When will you be in Northern California! I am in Elk Grove.
How many watts is your microwave? Mine is 1100.
Love it made it tonight spread one half with butter and the other with peanut butter like both a lot. Thanks
Can I double this recipe and microwave it? I used 1 C almond flour and 1/4 C coconut flour. It turned out AWESOME!
Thank you. 🙂
I’ve tried the mug bread 2 times and both are a fail. I followed your recipe exactly. It looks to be that the mixture is too dry. Help.
Are you using 1/4 cup of the bulk mixture?
I’ve never heard of golden flax meal and can’t find it at my neighborhood market. I have some ground flax/chia blend on hand — can I substitute it? If so, same amount?
Regular ground flax will work great!
How can I cook this as a loaf bread? Can I use my silicone mold? Thanks
We haven’t made it as a loaf, you could give it a go! We prefer our keto bread recipe.
Great substitute for a hamburger bun.
Made the mix this morning and made the mug bread for lunch. Thank you for giving me so much keto knowledge!!
So good! I made a breakfast sandwich with egg. cheese, bacon! Yummy!
The link for the flaxseed meal brings you to flax seed on Amazon. I just hit it and ordered and now I have a $ 28 for pack of 24 oz of flaxseeds that I cant return 🙁
You can simply grind it in a blender or coffee grinder!
I’m going to have to try this one! And blog about it.
The Link you have is to the Flax Seed not meal. It’s kind of a bummer. I bought the wrong thing.
I added 1/8 tap vanilla, one package sweetener, and twelve mini chocolate chips. Microwaved 70 seconds. Wonderful dessert. I am thinking of using cinnamon and crasins instead of the chocolate for a breakfast type pastry.
I agree, macros for one mug loaf would be nice 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe! As an Aussie on keto, one thing I miss is Vegemite on toast! I cut the bread in half and pop in into the toaster to crisp it up then slather with butter & Vegemite while still hot! This and a cup of black tea… Heaven!!! 😁
Please keep in mind that the nutrition info is for JUST the mix. After the egg and butter is added. I put it in the My Fitness Pal app and a serving of this bread weighs in at 322 calories per serving. I toasted it and used it in a egg and bacon sandwich. Great bread substitute.
I made this today and it was really good I used organic ground flax seed from Walmart and regular salt because I was out of pink salt. I also added a little bit of water I thought it was a little dry. Than I served it with 1/2 tablespoon of butter with a side of eggs and bacon. The macros I got with the egg and extra butter included were about 35g for fat 8.6g carbs 5.2g fiber 12g protein 378 calories just in Case your curious
I make this bread a lot and use it to make sandwiched. Has anyone tried using this bread for grilled sandwiches?
Hey Kids! Another great recipe! Makes breakfast more enjoyable! I tried adding a bit of cinnamon and some Erythritol to the bread this morning and we had some nice cinnamon bread for breakfast! Thanks so much for your hard work!
Dave
Thanks, Dave!
Ugh I made this and it tasted horrible! The golden flax meal flavor over powered everything. I had to throw it out. I’m mad I made it all in bulk now I don’t know what to do with it.
Thank you!! I just made a breakfast sandwich with this and I really liked the bread!! This is the first Keto bread recip I’ve tried that I really liked!! Thank you!!
Hi, could I mix all and put it in the oven to make a loaf? ~Thank you!
Don’t normally comment on anything, but I have to say this is by FAR my favorite 90 sec bread. I love the flavor and the ease of having the premade mix. I’ve made this into garlic bread, hamburger buns, toast for breakfast, and added some stevia and cinnamon for a sweet treat. This has become a staple in my keto way of life. Thank you!
how can there be only 159 calories when there is 175 with egg and butter alone?
thx
That was the nutrition information for just the dry mix. We have updated and corrected the nutrition information to reflect the inclusion of butter and egg. The nutrition information now reflects the mug bread made.
If I’m having trouble getting the psyllium Husks powder could i just use extra flax meal or almond flour in its place????
Thank
Melissa
Yes, you could try those things. Maybe even oat fiber. The texture might be different depending on which substitute you use.
Hello. It tastes great. But the nutrition info for one serving is just for the dry mix right? Because adding the butter and egg takes this to 325 calories
Hi Sara! It was for just the dry mix, but we have updated the nutrition information now to include the butter and egg. Thanks!
Recipe notes say: nutrition reflects mug bread made. So these #s should reflect the calories/fat and carbs including the butter and egg. But the comments below are leading me to think this is not the case…can you clear this up please?
Thx in advance 🙂
The nutrition includes the butter, egg along with one serving (28 grams/ 1/4 cup) of the mix.
Have you heard that the omega 3’s in flax seed, once ground, become susceptible to oxidation damage? I’m not sure how quickly that happens, but it might be worth considering. Maybe storing it in an air-tight container in the freezer would help. Anyway – love this idea! Meal prep is a big key to my success, too.
Yes 🙂 most oils are prone to oxidation when exposed to air, light, and warmth. The best thing is to keep them in dark glass containers in a cool dry place.
[email protected]. 2 teaspoons for the whole mix seems wrong. I don’t see how that is enough without any added to mug.?
Can I use this recipe to make bagels with a denser texture? I love your keto bagels recipe but sometimes, I find it too cheesy if I want to have more than 2.
You could try it. I am not sure how it would turn out, but if you do, let us know how it went 🙂
Didn’t you revise the dry-ingredients mix to accommodate your (Megha’s) tree-nut allergy, substituting coconut flour, as requested below, or am I mistaking that for your keto-revision of Red Lobster’s cheddar biscuits? Having a coconut-flour-based mix on hand would be super-convenient. I’m new to your channel but love what you’re doing – great information, demos, and recipes. Thanks for sharing.
The cheddar biscuit recipe is the best alternative to this almond flour based bread mix.
If you haven’t tried folding in an ounce of blueberries before cooking, OMG YOU MUST. +3 carbs, and +100 to breakfast craving satisfied. This is so versatile, and I’m so thrilled to have this recipe. Thank you!!
Thank you for a quick and easy receipe. I made this in the morning in less than 5 mins. I ended up toasting my bread and then topped it with cream cheese and smoked salmon. Delicious breakfast!
Just made one – OMG so good!
Hi. What’s the purpose of using Psyllum Husk in this recipe? Can i omit it totally? If not, what is a great alternative? Thanks.
Psyllium husk is used to provide a more bread-like texture. You could omit it but it might make the texture a little more eggy. You could use flax meal or oat fiber maybe in it’s place but the texture would still be affected.
[email protected]. Great 👍
is this correct that one serving of this recipe (1 microwave bread) is 323 calories?
Yes, but you can slice it into two pieces if you want less calories.
Have you tried toasting the finished product?
Yes, it does well toasted when sliced.
This recipe is so far superior to the one using only almond flour, egg, butter and baking powder. The addition of the fibrous ingredients gives it much much better texture and less of an eggy taste. In fact, I’m not really tasting egg at all as I sit here eating my egg, cheese and turkey sausage muffin. I made the bulk recipe and great idea! I toasted this, and it actually toasted. Tho I know grilling it in a little butter would also do well. Hello tuna melt….thanks for another great recipe.
I’m allergic to psyllium husk. What can I substitute for it?
You might be able to achieve a similar effect with flax meal
Hi
Just tried this bread, and my microwave gave out as I melted the butter,so decided to bake it in the oven, although not necessarily cooked as recommended, OMG still delicious thankyou so for this recipe I have been missing my morning toasted muffin and it really hit the spot,not eggy, full of texture and flavour yummy !! even baked extra for tomorrow morning, ready to toast and have with a cup of tea xx
I have tried a few different one minute breads. This is the best! I was hesitant to commit 2 cups of almond flour etc not knowing if I would like it. Made a batch at my friends house today. After I came home I made a batch for my house. Thanks for the recipe:)
Hi Megha & Matt! Had a quick question: I found that making freshly ground Psyllium Husk and Flaxseeds into powder, each became pretty moist so I was naturally worried this bulk mixture would start to go bad pretty soon 😬 Or start to get moldy. What would you suggest? Keeping everything in the freezer until use? Just ground up everything with my smoothy machine – so it would be great if you reply soon. Thanks a bunch for any advice. Cheers, Victoria
I made up one serving of this but rather than microwave, I added a bit of cheese and made a large chaffle. This worked very well and was a delicious bun for my kielbasa.
Great idea!!
I was wondering if i could mix this up in the jar and even if i could double the recipe and leave it mixed on the counter for fast use?
thank you so much ! Love the videos 🙂
I have made this 4 times. I like the bread,but every time it raises high in the middle and leaves a big hole onthe bottom side. When I cut it in half 1 slice has a big hole.can you help me
You could try tapping the sides and bottom of the mug before putting in the microwave to get rid of any air bubbles!
I made the bread mixture with 1cup of coconut powder,ground flaxseed ,baking powder, butter and 1 and a half egg. As I didn’t have the other ingredients. Had to keep a bit longer 30 seconds more. Looks perfect .Thanks for the recipe
Hi guys.
If i was going to cook it in the oven as just one big loaf, how many eggs would i need to put in?
