Let’s be real—one of the hardest things about a keto lifestyle is missing bread. Sure, the low carb staples like healthy fats, keto veggies , and natural meats (check out my keto food list here !) are great, but sometimes you just want a sandwich. When I don’t have time to bake my favorite keto bread and run out of low carb bagels in the freezer, this 90 second keto bread saves the day. It’s crazy quick, super easy, and totally hits the spot. Make it with me when you’re short on time!

Why You Need My 90 Second Keto Bread Recipe

• Chewy texture like regular bread – So many keto mug bread recipes are dense or have a texture a bit like cornbread (which is great for keto cornbread , not so much for sandwich bread). Mine has a chewy texture and air pockets make it feel just like traditional bread.
• Super fast and easy – You only need 5 ingredients (plus salt, and one optional one). It “bakes” in just 90 seconds in the microwave, but I’ve got you covered with oven instructions too.
• Low carb, keto friendly, and gluten free – With only 1g net carb ! I also have options for dairy-free and egg-free versions.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my microwave keto bread recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

• Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour – Most brands are too coarse and will give your bread a gritty texture. Mine is super fine! And then you can use it to make keto pancakes , low carb muffins , almond flour cookies , crackers , and more. If you can’t have almond flour, I have a coconut flour microwave bread in the Wholesome Yum app — it does not work as a 1:1 substitute.
• Psyllium Husk Powder – This is what I feel every other 90 second keto bread is missing, and it’s my secret to a chewy, sturdy texture. Plus, it adds fiber! You can substitute flaxseed meal for a similar effect. If you want to skip it altogether, make my microwave keto English muffin .
• Egg – For binding and lift. You can use a flax egg or other egg substitute if you need to. Just keep in mind your bread will be more fragile and denser. Some people make this type of bread with only egg whites, but I recommend including the yolk because the bread turns out more rubbery using only whites.
• Butter – Adds moisture and flavor so the bread isn’t dry. You can swap in a tablespoon of coconut oil works for a dairy-free option, or ghee for paleo or dairy-sensitive.
• Baking Powder – Make sure it’s fresh to help your bread rise. Don’t confuse this with baking soda, which is different and will leave an aftertaste.
• Optional Sweetener – Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend isn’t required, but it gives a better flavor without making the bread sweet. I recently added this to the recipe and the bread tastes better with it!
• Sea Salt – Just a pinch for balance.

VARIATION: Add herbs or spices!

Garlic powder, Italian seasoning , fresh herbs, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are all awesome ways to level it up.

How To Make It

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Melt the butter. I do this right in this rectangular container that I use to make the bread, for less dishes to wash.
2. Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, Besti (if using), and sea salt.

1. Mix the batter. Add the flour mixture to the melted butter, then whisk in the egg and stir together until smooth.
2. Cook and slice. “Bake” your 90 second keto bread in the microwave or oven, until firm. (It’ll get golden brown in the oven too, but not the microwave.) Then, loosen the edges with a knife, flip onto a plate, and slice in half.

Just a word of warning, this 90 second bread does not look pretty coming out of the microwave! But it tastes great, and isn’t that what counts? It does look a bit better after you toast it:

My Recipe Tips

• Wondering what container to use? I use this meal prep container and it’s the perfect size for this 90 second bread You can also use a round ramekin or even a microwave-safe mug (for a keto mug bread), then slice when it’s done. I just prefer the texture when the bread “bakes” in a thinner layer.
• Whisk the batter vigorously. It helps create more air bubbles.
• Having trouble mixing? Some readers have reported this, so I wanted to share what I do. After the butter is melted, add the dry ingredients. Then when you add the egg, whisk it at the edge first and then mix in. If this seems inconvenient, you can totally mix it all in a bowl and transfer to the container afterward.
• Get the top as level as you can. Any inconsistencies tend to become more pronounced after the bread rises.
• Toast it for better flavor. Popping it in the toaster not only adds crispiness, but also tones down any eggy taste. It’s totally worth the extra step!
• Can you bake it in the oven? Yep! I have that option on the recipe card below if you prefer not to use the microwave.
• Can you make multiple slices? Sure, feel free to use multiple containers! If you want a whole loaf, this recipe is similar to my bigger almond flour bread .

Ways To Use It

You can use this keto 90 second bread just like any regular bread! Here are ways I love it:

• Sandwiches – This is the main way I use it! My go-to is a turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade mayonnaise , pictured in this post.
• Spread – It’s amazing with some grass-fed butter, chia jam , or nut butter. Sugar-free jelly works too if that’s your jam (pun intended!).
• Avocado toast – I love it with everything seasoning, or sun-dried tomatoes and microgreens. You can even use frozen avocados .
• Breakfast – It makes the best keto breakfast sandwiches . Just layer on an egg, cheddar cheese, and your favorite cooked sausage or bacon .

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Swaps For Bread

Keto Swaps For Meals & Side Dishes

Keto Swaps For Snacks & Sauces

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine
• Sweetened beverages & condiments – Such as soda, ketchup, and sweet dressings
• Starchy veggies – Such as peas, carrots, and beets.
• Potatoes – Such as sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

That’s the short keto diet cheat sheet version of all the keto food categories, but I recommend downloading the full Keto Cheat Sheet System. It includes a super detailed printable keto food list with over 100 items, including 2 color-coded pages with net carb counts, along with 6 more pages of keto cheat sheets:

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my microwave keto bread recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

• Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour – Most brands are too coarse and will give your bread a gritty texture. Mine is super fine! And then you can use it to make keto pancakes , low carb muffins , almond flour cookies , crackers , and more. If you can’t have almond flour, I have a coconut flour microwave bread in the Wholesome Yum app — it does not work as a 1:1 substitute.
• Psyllium Husk Powder – This is what I feel every other 90 second keto bread is missing, and it’s my secret to a chewy, sturdy texture. Plus, it adds fiber! You can substitute flaxseed meal for a similar effect. If you want to skip it altogether, make my microwave keto English muffin .
• Egg – For binding and lift. You can use a flax egg or other egg substitute if you need to. Just keep in mind your bread will be more fragile and denser. Some people make this type of bread with only egg whites, but I recommend including the yolk because the bread turns out more rubbery using only whites.
• Butter – Adds moisture and flavor so the bread isn’t dry. You can swap in a tablespoon of coconut oil works for a dairy-free option, or ghee for paleo or dairy-sensitive.
• Baking Powder – Make sure it’s fresh to help your bread rise. Don’t confuse this with baking soda, which is different and will leave an aftertaste.
• Optional Sweetener – Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend isn’t required, but it gives a better flavor without making the bread sweet. I recently added this to the recipe and the bread tastes better with it!
• Sea Salt – Just a pinch for balance.

VARIATION: Add herbs or spices!

Garlic powder, Italian seasoning , fresh herbs, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are all awesome ways to level it up.

How To Make It

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Melt the butter. I do this right in this rectangular container that I use to make the bread, for less dishes to wash.
2. Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, Besti (if using), and sea salt.

1. Mix the batter. Add the flour mixture to the melted butter, then whisk in the egg and stir together until smooth.
2. Cook and slice. “Bake” your 90 second keto bread in the microwave or oven, until firm. (It’ll get golden brown in the oven too, but not the microwave.) Then, loosen the edges with a knife, flip onto a plate, and slice in half.

Just a word of warning, this 90 second bread does not look pretty coming out of the microwave! But it tastes great, and isn’t that what counts? It does look a bit better after you toast it:

My Recipe Tips

• Wondering what container to use? I use this meal prep container and it’s the perfect size for this 90 second bread You can also use a round ramekin or even a microwave-safe mug (for a keto mug bread), then slice when it’s done. I just prefer the texture when the bread “bakes” in a thinner layer.
• Whisk the batter vigorously. It helps create more air bubbles.
• Having trouble mixing? Some readers have reported this, so I wanted to share what I do. After the butter is melted, add the dry ingredients. Then when you add the egg, whisk it at the edge first and then mix in. If this seems inconvenient, you can totally mix it all in a bowl and transfer to the container afterward.
• Get the top as level as you can. Any inconsistencies tend to become more pronounced after the bread rises.
• Toast it for better flavor. Popping it in the toaster not only adds crispiness, but also tones down any eggy taste. It’s totally worth the extra step!
• Can you bake it in the oven? Yep! I have that option on the recipe card below if you prefer not to use the microwave.
• Can you make multiple slices? Sure, feel free to use multiple containers! If you want a whole loaf, this recipe is similar to my bigger almond flour bread .

Ways To Use It

You can use this keto 90 second bread just like any regular bread! Here are ways I love it:

• Sandwiches – This is the main way I use it! My go-to is a turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and homemade mayonnaise , pictured in this post.
• Spread – It’s amazing with some grass-fed butter, chia jam , or nut butter. Sugar-free jelly works too if that’s your jam (pun intended!).
• Avocado toast – I love it with everything seasoning, or sun-dried tomatoes and microgreens. You can even use frozen avocados .
• Breakfast – It makes the best keto breakfast sandwiches . Just layer on an egg, cheddar cheese, and your favorite cooked sausage or bacon .

90 Second Keto Bread

• Recipe Reviews

Let’s be real—one of the hardest things about a keto lifestyle is missing bread. Sure, the low carb staples like healthy fats, keto veggies , and natural meats (check out my keto food list here !) are great, but sometimes you just want a sandwich. When I don’t have time to bake my favorite keto bread and run out of low carb bagels in the freezer, this 90 second keto bread saves the day. It’s crazy quick, super easy, and totally hits the spot. Make it with me when you’re short on time!

Why You Need My 90 Second Keto Bread Recipe

• Chewy texture like regular bread – So many keto mug bread recipes are dense or have a texture a bit like cornbread (which is great for keto cornbread , not so much for sandwich bread). Mine has a chewy texture and air pockets make it feel just like traditional bread.
• Super fast and easy – You only need 5 ingredients (plus salt, and one optional one). It “bakes” in just 90 seconds in the microwave, but I’ve got you covered with oven instructions too.
• Low carb, keto friendly, and gluten free – With only 1g net carb ! I also have options for dairy-free and egg-free versions.
