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.
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 method. 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 method. 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.
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.

Delicious alternative to wheat bread. And it’s quick and easy to make.
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?
