When it comes to keto bread recipes, my favorites to make are keto rolls, keto buns, and this 90 second keto bread.
It’s not as bread-like as my actual keto bread recipe but it’s a little easier than my keto english muffin. Regardless, it satisfies the carb cravings and makes the best breakfast.
Now, this bread may look incredibly fancy, but I promise you, it is such a foolproof recipe.

Why this recipe works
- 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
If you’ve made any of my low carb recipes before, you’ll no doubt have all the baking staples on hand. Here is what you’ll need:
- 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– 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
What I love about this recipe is that it can be made on a whim and there are no leftovers. It’s single serving perfection.
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.

Alternative cooking methods
Now, I know that not everyone likes to use a microwave or owns one, so I’ve tested this exact bread batter both in the oven and in the air fryer, and while a little more time-consuming, these methods taste just as delicious.
- Oven instructions– Pour the batter into an oven-safe ramekin or dish and bake at 180C/350F for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert onto a plate before slicing in half.
- Air fryer instructions– Pour the batter into an air fryer baking dish and cook at 200C/400F for 5-6 minutes.
Remember, this 90-second bread tastes best when toasted before enjoying.
Recipe tips and variations
- 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.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices or even some shredded cheese.
- Use a deep ramekin or microwave-safe bowl. I like to use a small cereal bowl because it’s easier to remove and toast.
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.

That was a pleasant surprise! Couldn’t be easier. Thanks.

Can I use whi0 cream instead of milk?
I haven’t tried, I don’t see why not, as long as it is smooth.
I love the bread, but just leaned I am intolerant to almonds. Can I use walnut flour?
