🌟 Why You'll Love This Recipe

Fluffy, soft texture - just like white toast
4 ingredients
No eggy flavor
Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free
Keto friendly - only 1.6g net carbs
Ready from scratch in 3 minutes

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

Egg white - Using only the egg white and not the yolk means there is no eggy taste.
Almond flour - I used regular almond flour. If you want to use SUPER FINE almond flour such as Bob's Red Mill, increase the amount of water to 1 tablespoon.
Psyllium husk powder - Gives the bread a stronger texture, similar to whole-wheat bread. You can use flaxseed instead, or a pinch of xanthan gum.
Baking powder
Water - or use almond milk

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Note - By the time I had shot this picture, the baking powder had begun to fizz up (which is a good sign as it means it's fresh!). It might look like a lot, but it is the same amount as the psyllium powder.

Instructions

It's so simple to make keto bread in the microwave. Here are the basic steps.

For detailed instructions, scroll down to the recipe card.

Stirring dough in a bowl and adding the dough to a square pan.

Step 1: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a fork.

Step 2: Fill the dough into a well-greased microwavable container. Spread well to ensure there are no large air bubbles.

I used melted butter to grease mine, but you could use coconut oil, avocado oil or even olive oil.

Step 3: After microwaving on high for 90 seconds, your single serving of "emergency toast" is done.

The bread shrinks a bit and comes off the edges so it's easy to release from the container.

At this point, the bread is soft and looks a bit pale. Don't let this discourage you.

Image 4 and 5 show the bread from both sides. As you can see, it has a fluffy, light texture.

And once you toast, grill or pan-fry your Keto toast, it looks pretty, too!

Katrin's Top Tips

#1 Timing: I have made this recipe with several microwaves over the years. 90 seconds always seems to be the perfect cook time.

However, in your microwave, it may need less or more. Check after 75 seconds and see if it is cooked. Just don't overcook it or the bread will dry out.

#2 Container: I used a 5 x 5 inch glass dish, which produced 1 large slice of Keto toast. I made another portion using a 4 x 3 inch tupperware container, which I then sliced in two.

You could even use a mug and cut your bread into 3 smaller, round slices.

Variations

For a flavor lift, add a pinch of salt to the batter.

For a savoury version, add a pinch of garlic powder or paprika. Or, add 1 teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make 90 second keto bread with coconut flour?

If you prefer to try this recipe with coconut flour, use 1 ½ tablespoon instead of the 3 tablespoons almond flour. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid than almond flour. I also recommend to increase the amount of water to 1 tablespoon.

Can I use the whole egg instead of just the egg white?

Yes, you CAN make this recipe with a whole egg. This way you get a healthy golden colour even before toasting. The bread will taste a little eggy this way. I personally don't mind it, but some people don't like it.

Can I leave out the psyllium husk powder?

Yes. In my many test runs to get the recipe just right, I have also made a version omitting the psyllium. As you can see, this bread is quite versatile!

What do you do with the leftover egg yolk?

I make a keto mayonnaise.

Can I make it in the oven?

Yes. Bake it at 180C or 350F for around 12 minutes.

Serving Suggestion

I love 90 second keto bread toasted and then spread with butter and sugar free strawberry jam.

But, it tastes great with any topping, from sweet to savoury.

Often, I make grilled cheese with it. For this, I gently fry the bread in butter over a low heat. I add some garlic powder - but paprika would also give extra flavour.

Almond flour burns quicker than regular wheat flour. Take your time and keep the lid on so the cheese can melt without the bread burning!

You can also use it to make my 10 minute sugar free French toast.

Storage

Store the bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Re-heat it in the toaster.

Notes

1.6g net carbs per serving. Makes 1 serving.

***If you want to use SUPER FINE almond flour such as Bob's Red Mill, increase the amount of water to 1 tablespoon.

For a flavor lift, add a pinch of salt to the batter.

The 5x5 inch container makes one large bread, about the size of a piece of toast. You can use a smaller container or even a mug and slice the bread afterwards.

One slice of Keto toast is a satiating snack or breakfast. Two slices (as a cheese toastie plus side salad) would make a filling main meal.
