Why I love this recipe

• An instant bread fix. As the name suggests, this bread is the kind of thing you can whip up on a whim.
• 3 cooking methods. I like using the microwave because it’s fast and convenient, but I’ve also included air fryer and oven instructions.
• Perfect texture and flavor. The texture is soft and fluffy in the middle and tender outside. It tastes like any simple bread, especially when toasted. 
• Versatile. Use this quick bread to make a breakfast sandwich, or top it with some almond butter for a quick snack.

Ingredients needed

• Almond flour. Blanched almond flour is preferred over almond meal. The former has a very fine texture and yields a gorgeous light crumb. 
• Coconut flour. It works with the almond flour to give the bread a softer and fluffier center. Only a little coconut flour will be used to ensure the bread doesn’t dry out. 
• Baking powder. Helps the bread rise when microwaved. 
• Salt. Just a pinch of salt to balance out the other ingredients. 
• Egg. Room temperature egg.
• Milk. I used unsweetened coconut milk, but any milk can be used. 
• Oil. I used olive oil, but any neutral-flavored oil can be used. 

How to make 90 second keto bread

I’ve included step-by-step photos below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Step 1- Make the batter. Start by adding your dry ingredients into a small bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together until a thick batter remains.

Step 2- Prep. Next, grease a ceramic bowl or mug and pour your batter into it.

Step 3- Cook. Microwave for 90 seconds, and let the bread sit for a minute.

Step 4- Toast and serve. Remove from the bowl and slice in half. Toast the two pieces of bread before adding your favorite toppings on top. 

Arman’s recipe tips

• Microwave makes and models differ. Mine has an 800 wattage, and 90 seconds is perfect. If yours is more powerful, reduce the microwaving time by 20 seconds. 
• Toasting the bread once it has been microwaved is highly recommended. It crisps the edges and gives it a gorgeous golden brown exterior while still being fluffy in the middle.
• Use a deep ramekin or microwave-safe bowl. I like to use a small cereal bowl because it’s easier to remove and toast.  
• Add mix-ins. Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices or even some shredded cheese. 

Storage instructions

To store: Place the untoasted and sliced bread in a ziplock bag and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, be sure to toast first. 

To freeze: Place the bread in a shallow container or ziplock bag and store the bread in the freezer for up to 6 months. Let it thaw completely before toasting.
