Short Description

A quick and easy 90-second keto bread that’s soft, fluffy, and perfect for sandwiches or toast. Made with almond flour and butter, this low-carb bread is ready in minutes and packed with flavor.

Key Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 3 tablespoons almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder:
• Pinch of salt

Tools Needed

• Microwave-safe ramekin or mug (4-inch wide)
• Fork or small whisk
• Microwave
• Butter knife (for easy removal)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

In a microwave-safe ramekin or mug, whisk the egg until smooth. Add the melted butter, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully combined and no lumps remain.

Step 2: Microwave the Bread

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds. The bread should rise and set completely. If it’s still slightly wet in the center, microwave for an additional 10 seconds.

Step 3: Cool and Slice

Let the bread cool for 30–60 seconds before removing it from the mug. Run a butter knife around the edges to loosen it, then pop it out. Slice in half horizontally for a sandwich-style bread.

Step 4: Toast 

For extra texture and flavor, toast the bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Mistakes to Avoid & Solutions

1. Bread is Too Dry

Solution: Reduce the cooking time by 5–10 seconds, or add an extra teaspoon of butter for more moisture.

2. Eggy Taste

Solution: Try using room-temperature eggs or adding a dash of garlic powder or cinnamon to mask the flavor.

4. Sticking to the Mug

Solution: Grease the mug lightly with butter or cooking spray before adding the batter.

5. Uneven Texture

Solution: Mix the batter thoroughly to distribute the baking powder evenly.
