Try this quick and easy keto and paleo bread made with only 5 ingredients in the microwave in just 90 seconds! So tasty and just perfect for sandwiches and toast.
I think this is the third review I've done on this recipe. I was out of butter yesterday so I made it with coconut oil. It came out delicious. I also add half a teaspoon of truvia sweetener, eighth of a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and stir in 1/4 cup of blueberries.
Read MoreNeeded to complete my review. It’s a different flavor. More egg taste than bread flavor. I cooked 2 min. In microwave, slipped right out of mug. Texture was moist and held together like a bread. Easy but needs some flavoring added to cover up the egg taste and I love eggs. May try sweetener or even more almond flour or toast it and butter it. Won’t make again as recipe is.

This recipe has changed my life!! After making the original recipe I tried it different ways. So far I have made this every day. I have covered the batter with seeds(sunflower, sesame and poppy seed) and used for an open face sloppy joe. I really wanted something sweet so I added a non-sugar sweetener (monk fruit) and a little vanilla and it was as good as any regular muffin. Next I plan on doing it with lemon and poppy seeds and may try with garlic butter. I have also thought this could be used as croutons on a salad (which I really miss!). I I am not even doing a keto diet-I just wanted to cut back on grains and I do not miss breads at all. You have to be careful not to over cook (mine usually is done in less than 90 sec) and it takes less time than making toast or frying an egg and so much healthier. And don't be afraid to really mix the batter well. ( I use a small whisk). Unlike grain flours that need to be handled gently so the gluten will form, you can just beat the heck out of almond flour. I find I get different textures depending on how well I mix. The longer I mix, the more cake-like texture I get.
I decided to try out the keto diet and was looking for recipes of things I knew I would miss. Quick, keto-bread in under 3 minutes (from start to finish)? Sure why not. It definitely did not taste like regular bread, but the texture was just like it. In terms of taste, to me, it was more like a corn-bread (a bit more dry than regular bread). After making it (and being amazed at how it changed from a runny glob to something spongey), I sliced it up and popped the slices in the toaster. Added butter on one piece (was still kind of dry), but added cream cheese to another one. Not bad at all! Definitely helps if you're wanting "toast"
I'm a carbetarian that is trying to make it on Keto. This might just be what saves me. Is it the best bread I've ever had? No, its not but it was 100 times better than I imagined when I saw I could make a low carb bread in 2 mins. Its actually a pretty decent bread.
This was really good, and super easy too! The texture was almost exactly like regular bread. I added a tiny bit of xanthan gum and it was sturdy enough to make thin slices. Thanks for the recipe!
Ok I made this this morning. I am four days on keto and when I tasted it my first thought was wow I miss bread. Then the second bite wow this is kind of like cornbread. ****idea Keto chicken cornbread dressing **** so I doubled the recipe using only one egg and adding 1/4cup chicken broth zero carbs poultry season and chopped chicken. I didn’t have green onions but used dry chives....... yum! Still improving but thank you Baby Jesus!
It’s very good. Very bread like. Nice texture. Firm enough to make a sandwich. Flavour is nice and mild. Good bread substitute for low carb and wheat free people. Will definitely make again!
I love love love this bread! I have used it for keto grilled ham & cheese and most recently for a keto pizza. It’s fast, easy and delicious. It’s a great alternative to traditional bread when you want a sandwich (or pizza). I personally prefer it grilled or toasted as it gives it a bit more of a “crust”. Thanks for this awesome recipe! I’ll be sharing the heck out of it !!
Needed to complete my review. It’s a different flavor. More egg taste than bread flavor. I cooked 2 min. In microwave, slipped right out of mug. Texture was moist and held together like a bread. Easy but needs some flavoring added to cover up the egg taste and I love eggs. May try sweetener or even more almond flour or toast it and butter it. Won’t make again as recipe is.
Very impressed! Popped right out of mug after microwaving. I added a 1/2 tsp of swerve and a dash of cinnamon for more of a French toast flavor. It tasted delicious. Definitely a go to recipe.
I was a little leary, thought it would taste like eggs. NOT! It was really good and added substance to my Keto regiment. I just put some cream cheese on it right out of mug, and it was delicious and really hit the spot. I plan to make this again and again for burgers, sandwiches, even French toast.
Very easy, but I agree with other reviews. It works well being toasted. The bread is spongy and gives you that "full" feeling. I may try to add a little coconut flour.
I made it with home made almond meal as I didn’t have almond flour. It came out great with nooks and crannies like an English muffin. The texture was breadlike and flavor was good. Next time I’ll try some onion or garlic flavoring. There will definitely be a next time. I’m going to try it in the top of my butter dish as I think it will make a good hot dog roll!
First of all, the nutritional data does not add up. I'd like to see their math on this. Secondly, it tasted like an egg sandwich. I suppose with some mayo and ham it would be good. I'd try it again, but with Tina Dawn's modifications...But someone from AllRecipes needs to explain those nutritional numbers. They are higher than they should be (Yes, I did the math ingredient by ingredient. But just ballpark it: butter 102 + egg 70 + Flour +212 = 384. The salt and baking powder can't be 24 calories! And it doesn't absorb all the butter (but it does absorb most of it!)
closest thing I've had to. bread since ive started keto. Sometimes I switch it up and add coconut oil instead of butter some agave stevia, vanilla, and coco powder and eat it as a morning muffin w/ cream cheese or after dinner cake with whip cream. Great for breakfast sandwiches or add italian herbs and shredded cheese and eat as a side.
Easy, quick to make and turned out great! After popping it out of the mug, I sliced it and pan fried the slices in butter. Absolutely delicious! Will make again :)
Love this bread! So quick and easy. I agree, toasting it afterwards gives it a nice English Muffin feel. Can't wait to try this recipe with cheese and herbs.
So the texture is more cornbread like. Does have a slight eggy taste. For someone giving up bread due to carbs it is great. I made it then toested in my cast iron skillet with some butter and it was yummy. Also I only ate 1/2 and it is really filling. This was so easy and will be a staple for me
My wife and I both love this. We use a bowl for a slightly larger area then slice it in half on edge to make two slices. I mainly use it for grilled cheese or grilled warm sandwiches. I've never thought this tasted eggy at all after grilling. I brush on some mayo and throw it on a skillet to grill. Browns a little bit and turns out perfect. One thing I really miss on keto is grilled cheese sandwiches and this with sharp cheddar really hits the spot! Once I discovered this I made it 3 nights in a row with different meats and cheeses.
I made this exactly according to the recipe. Super easy and fast! I cut it into 4 slices, about the size of a biscuit. It has a tender crumb, holds together well enough to toast it. We enjoyed it just as is, with some butter. YUMMY!
Second time trying this. Made a couple changes. I separated my egg and whipped the white into a stiff foam before adding to the dough mixture. I also added about 3 Tbsp of Shredded Monterrey Jack cheese in an attempt to get some gooey-ness. Came out great. I have so many variations I plan to try! This is so easy and makes JUST enough, so it will be my saving grace on this Keto journey
Works well for a quick and easy fix. I use it as a "biscuit" for my keto biscuits and gravy. I cut it in half and toasted it and I was pleased with it. I have even used it as a sandwich bread and it works pretty well for that too. Try to use your largest/widest coffee mug for this recipe.
This was so easy to make! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfectly. I sliced and then toasted the slices and added a little home-made chocolate butter...great! Thank you for this recipe!
Love this easy and satisfying bread. I added some dry Italian seasoning to give it more flavor. Delicious!
I just started a Keto diet few days ago and was trying to figure out how to get my bread fix. I made stew and used this to dip in the juices. I added a little onion powder to the ingredients. Tasted like dumplings was filling and delicious. Thank you so much, I am so busy and this was quick and simple. Can't wait to experiment with this recipe.
I’ve Tried this recipe several times. I can’t say it can replace bread for me because I am Obsessed with bread. The texture just isn’t light and fluffy enough, but being on the keto diet it gets the job done. If you make this bread and then use it for French toast adding cinnamon and sugar free maple syrup it is amazing ! You won’t even be able to tell the difference.
This is my go-to recipe for savory keto bread. It works up quick and tastes great! Follow the recipe exactly and you can’t go wrong. The key is definitely to melt the butter first and swirl the melted butter up the sides of the mug before adding the other ingredients.. I do sometimes add a shake of garlic powder or a smidge of black pepper and I usually use a fairly large mug (big circumference) because I can then slice it to make a burger bun (or sometimes even two). I used to miss out when my family wanted burgers and BOY did I miss that bun. This recipe solves that dilemma quite nicely. In fact, I think my family may even be a little jealous of Nana’s special burger bun. I am SO grateful to have found this recipe!!!
I am gluten free and make this all the time. Its great for a sausage biscuit. I usually use only egg whites (helps it taste less egg-y) But, today I added a spoonful of pumpkin puree and some pumpkin pie spice and a dash of sweetener. Sliced and toasted, Yummo!!
This was super easy, quick and very satisfying. I look forward to trying some of the variances left by other reviewers. Thanks!
Really? I was SO sceptical. A burger roll in 90 seconds? I'm so tired of naked burgers! My boyfriend, who doesn't keto or need to eat gf likes this recipe! I use a small bowl with a flat bottom for burger rollz! Quick and convenient!
We love it!!!!! This is a keeper. Have tried another 90 second mug bread with chia seeds and it had a nasty eggy taste. Even putting lots of cinnamon in didn't help
i think this recipe as written is more like a pancake because of the eggy taste. Its not bad anyway because i tossed so many things on top that i couldnt taste the egg anymore. I tried it without the yolk (replaced with 1 tbsp milk) and it tastes a lot better but it didnt rise as much as the original recipe. Im making this recipe pretty much everyday now, i leave the whole egg and add sweetner and berries for breakfast or leave the yolk out and use it as an english muffin with savory toppings. It is a lot better if you toast the rounds first. Very good recipe with a lot of potencial for creativity :) .
I enjoyed the 90 minute keto bread. It was very much like regular bread, since I was missing regular bread on my keto diet. It was very satisfying. I will make it again and try adding other ingredients to it.
Disclosure: I made it with regular white flour since I'm not keto, was just craving bread. It had a nice dense texture and minimal to no egg flavor so it hit the craving really nicely. Gonna hang onto this one! It would probably rock with some herbs or shredded cheese mixed in too.
Very good. Smell and taste egg. Has cornmeal taste and dry texture but quick and easy. I made peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I’ll continue using this recipe
No changes, made recipe exactly as above and loved it! It’s what I needed to cure my carb craving, made a little bacon lettuce mayo sandwich!
I used 1/4 cup of coconut flour. Coconut flour is known to be dense, so my mug bread was a little dry. Solved the situation by adding plenty of butter. It does taste good. Feels like I am cheating on Keto.
I made this keto bread today! Followed the recipe, but added 1.5 tbsp of cheddar cheese. Also I used sea salt instead of table salt. It turned out SO delicious. Definitely filled my cravings for bread. I even made a burger and used this bread as the bun! Yummy!
A friend of mine made this for me. She adds about 1/4 cup shredded Cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning. After microwaving, she browns it in the skillet which adds great crunch! Yum!
I didn't have any almond flour so we used coconut flour instead. It came out flat (like 1 inch high) and hard as a rock. Not sure what happened but we tried twice and the same thing happened both times. It shouldn't make that much difference using coconut flour instead of almond flour.
Updated review: When I went to make this again, I realized I had reviewed the wrong recipe - one that I had found on an external site. I made this recipe today to update my review. I don't have "blanched" almond flour, only the almond flour sold in bulk at my local co-op, so that's what I used. No clue whether it was blanched or not. Maybe that makes a difference. Anyway, once I'd combined all ingredients in the mug, it was VERY crumbly. I couldn't imagine it coming together in the microwave, so I added a couple of tablespoons of water to get it to stick together. The recipe I'd made yesterday that turned out well used only 1 Tablespoon of almond flour. 1/3 of a cup seems to be WAY too much. I'll likely play around with this, and might try 2 Tablespoons of almond flour, or alternately 2 eggs with the listed amount of flour. Anyway, after microwaving for 2:10, it was still a little wet, but had a biscuit like texture. I cut it in half, threw it into a pan with some butter to brown and cook it further, and the result was similar to a biscuit. Ended up being pretty good with some almond butter on it, but it broke into pieces in the pan and looked like a hot mess.
I loved the recipe, however, I added about a teaspoon of cinnamon and sugar. The cinnamon and sugar made it taste like authentic French toast. The cinnamon and sugar was combined in a shaker. I apologize for devouring it before photographing it.
I made this exactly by the recipe and it was delicious! Will definitely make again and the fact it took total time less than 5 minutes! Yesss!!
Never thought I would be willing to give up regular bread but this is really good. Surprise.
Tasted amazing. I added 1/4 tsp of onion powder and garlic powder to cover up egg taste. Did not taste egg. Very flavorful! Will be making this weekly.
This tasted nothing like bread to me. I made the recipe exactly as shown. Maybe will try it another time but put it in the toaster oven after getting it out of the mug since he held together well.
This is the best keto bread recipe I've tried. I did it in a small Pyrex dish and sliced it in half and toasted it. Will definitely make again as French toast, breakfast sandwich, English muffin...
It turned out fabulous! I made it exactly as instructed and am looking forward to customizing it for garlic bread, corn bread n possibly a cinnamon or dessert bread. Thank you for sharing!
I followed the directions exactly and it came out perfect! This is a great basic bread recipe while on Keto.
Followed the recipe but added xantham gum about 1/6 tsp. It’s was really good, very bread-like consistency. I used it for a grilled cheese. Sooo good :)
I'm new to Keto (day 5 for me) and was pleasantly surprised at this. I've made it twice now. Second time I sliced and toasted it and it was good! Next time I'll try it with cream cheese or as a sandwich. A good way to fool your tummy (and brain) thinking you're eating bread. Will definitely make again.
I was surprised at how fast and easy this was. A great alternative for low carb diets. It had a good bread like consistency.
I didn’t make any changes, & it was great for a fast bread. Since I made it for gluten free and not for keto the only change I might make it a little sweetener, or flavoring (like an herb bread), but otherwise it was great
Pleasantly surprised by this recipe and so easy, has the texture of bread, once you toast it anyway, I didn't try it before I toasted it. I will definitely make again, may add some dill or other seasonings for more flavor. Wondering if you could add lemon extract and sweetener for more of a cake like bread?
Very reminiscent of an English Muffin. I made it as directed and then sliced, toasted, and buttered it. I was afraid ti would taste rubbery, but it was crisp and delicious, with no aftertaste. This will curb my bread cravings nicely!
actually worked! I sliced and will use rounds for smaller pieces of small open face bread sandwiches or PERFECT for homemade egg, sausage, & cheese sandwhiches! cut lengthwise in half for more like a oblong roll for sandwiches or whatever. :) does have a strong egg taste I'm not clear if whole thing is 1 serving or not???
This was super easy and tasty with an egg, cheese and sausage for breakfast. I've made several so far. It's a little greasy so I used 1/2 the butter and grilled the "bun" after slicing it in half. It turned out fine.
Worked well. I cut into three pieces and served with cream cheese and "everything but the bagel" seasoning. Got me over my bagel craving.
This is so yummy and totally satisfied my craving for “bread”. I toasted it after I let it rest and it was perfect for my egg and sausage sandwich.
So quick and easy! Been craving toast and jam but wanting to lower my carb intake. this fits the bill
Pretty doggoned close to real. eating out of a mug isn't the most fun to me. still, i will make again. really really nice change of pace!
Made exactly as stated... thought it was pretty good! I haven't had bread in 35 days, so I might be a little biased haha. I didn't think it was eggy tasting, but I did add more butter once I sliced it up. Great jumping off and all the other suggestions in the reviews look great!
I like it. It is fast. easy to make. Very filling, a good substitute to bread. A bit of eggy taste. Texture is like a sponge cake. To me it tasted like an unsweetened sponge cake. But it was a good option for breakfast for these days that i didn't want to eat eggs.
I really like it . Two toasted slices with a wedge of laughing cow make a really reasonable low carb meal. Great texture. It doesn’t exactly rise like bread so if the batter is lopsided in your cup or has big air pockets that’s how it will come out. Slices store well in the fridge. I just toast two at a time.
It's fantastic and ready in a pinch! If you use a large mug, you can get a hamburger/English muffin type bun. Kind of the texture of cornbread. Essential to have this recipe if you're GF.
Easiest ever....... 3 min to prepare 90 seconds to cook. Light and fluffy. ( I also ad 1/2 a banana for desert bread, just break up the banana in into the cup with the butter and cook for 24 seconds then add you egg flour salt and baking soda).
I love this recipe! But honestly I didn't have baking powder the first time and I tried it without. I toasted it and like it better without the baking powder for an egg sandwich and a few other things. This is a keto life saver for me!
When you are missing having bread on a Ketogenic diet, this comes to the rescue. I found that I could get three pretty good slices out of one recipe. Goes well with a platter of scrambled eggs too. My wife also liked it. And that was a surprise bonus.
I was looking for a replacement for English muffins. I think this will do. Tastes great and slices nicely. I did add a little xanthan gum. This will make a great muffin just add a little vanilla, blueberries and some sweetener.
It was so quick and satisfying. It holds together well and the texture is very bread like, not crumbly. It needed some more butter on top or jam, but that's easy to do. Oh, I calculated the calories and came up with 281 total, not 408. I like that better.
I love this bread with one change...I used a flax egg (1 T flax seed, 2.5 T water that you let sit 5 minutes) which I think is a better texture for our taste. I have also used it with other non AP flours and mixes I made myself such as grounds oats, quinoa and protein powder with great results. I might be eating low carb but that doesn't mean my 4 year old should but I also don't want to keep a whole lot of bread in the house for him.
Wow, made it with ground flax seed, turn out good. Tried again with almond flour both were good will make again
Wow! This is really impressive for a super quick recipe. I was about to run to the store to get some low carb pita bread because I made a TON of tuna salad only to find it was hard for me to get through due to lack of bread. I tried this and only added about a teaspoon of everything but the bagel seasoning. So delish! I bet it would be good as a "muffin" like I have read in other reviews. This is going to be a keto staple for me.
Made it as written except cooked in a small round pyrex container. Although it does not taste like bread it is WAY better than any GF bread I have had. It does not stick to your teeth and does not feel like powder after a few chews (which GF breads do). You can add additional seasonings to give it more flavor. I cook in a larger container (pyrex) and cut in half. I have toasted it and eaten untoasted as well. Usually 1/2 is plenty for a decent sandwich. This is my go to recipe for a bread substitute. Thank you for sharing it.
I have been on keto since January 1 and really needed something breadlike. This was perfect and i feel full! I’m sooo happy i found this recipe!
Since finding this recipe, I have made this quite a few times. I find adding a tablespoon of heavy cream to the batter makes the bread fluffier. Have also made it with cheese and real bacon bits.
Used untoasted as a hamburger bun. Held together and was better than the no bun option. Then toasted w butter and sugar free preserves. Yum! Very filling so I won't binge.
I’d give this TEN stars if I could!! After I sliced it, I put it in the toaster for a bit and made breakfast sandwiches out of it. As a baby Keto-er (so I still have my non-Keto taste buds ??), I seriously couldn’t tell I wasn’t eating a biscuit! Same flavor and texture - SUPER WIN!!!
I was having trouble with the bread not cooking evenly, so I tried again using my Pampered Chef Egg Cooker... It turned out so PERFECT!! I use it for everything. Thanks for the recipe! https://www.pamperedchef.com/pws/kristennielson/shop/Cookware/Microwave+Cookware/Ceramic+Egg+Cooker/1529
I have made this several times as written and it was very good. I've made it a few times adding a touch of vanilla and a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Delicious for breakfast, especially with a little cream cheese.
