90-Second Low Carb Bread

While Keto and low carb bread are usually quick to whip together, they tend to take quite a bit of time to bake to do the gluten-free (and Paleo!) aspects of the dough. This easy Keto snack bread would work well for breakfast or an easy Keto snack. It is made with almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, apple cider vinegar, and an egg. It is mixed together well with a spoon in a coffee mug and then microwaved for 90 seconds until puffed and cooked. It might be the best Keto bread recipe just due to its simplicity.

How long does 90-second Keto bread take to cook?

Depending on the wattage of your microwave, you will need to adjust your cook time accordingly.

Also, once the bread comes out of the microwave, allow it to further cook with the residual heat by keeping it in the coffee mug for about 2-3 minutes while your prep any other food you are eating with it.

What if I am allergic to almonds?

If almonds are an issue for you, simply replace the almond flour in a 3:1 ratio with coconut flour.

What is the texture of 90-second Keto bread?

The texture is moist, soft, and spongey like real bread and is very lovely. It is sturdy enough to place nut butter on top, deli meats, or scrambled eggs.

Do I need to use psyllium husk, or can I replace it?

Psyllium husk is critical in this recipe and cannot be substituted with ground flaxseed.

Do I need to use boiling water?

Your water does not need to be at a boil for this recipe, but it does need to be very hot, which helps to hydrate the psyllium husk, so do not use cold water.

What size coffee mug do I need?

This bread puffs up a lot in the microwave, so use the tallest coffee cup you have (around 10-12 oz). A shorter coffee cup will also work as it tends to puff straight up out of the container and come back down.
