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.

Love it made it tonight spread one half with butter and the other with peanut butter like both a lot. Thanks
How many watts is your microwave? Mine is 1100.
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 important is the golden flax to the bread? I have normal flax.
Normal will work, it may just have a stronger flax taste.
Is there anyway I can substitute the egg?
Thank you 🙂
You can find a recipe for a flax egg online 🙂
Anything I can use I lieu of flaxseed. The entire family is sensitive to it. Thinking of trying ground chia
Just made this and used the first one as a hamburger bun. Yummy and so easy. Thanks guys.
LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys and the recipes! Can you sub out Oat Fiber for Psyllium Husk?
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.
Just made this… DELISH! Thank you for such a simple and easy way to enjoy guiltless bread! 😉
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.
Can you make the recipe without the flaxseed & pysillum husk?
You can try our other recipe! https://www.ketoconnect.net/low-carb-biscuits/
I think you both are down right amazing. Thank you for you time to make videos and posting recipes.
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.
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.
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
Can you substitute ground flaxseed for Golden Flax meal ?
Yep!
Can it be done with Cassava flour and Collagen; if so, how much of each and thanks.
Not sure. Will take some experimenting!
Flax is estrogenic…. very bad for women.
Any substitute??
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…
