90-second bread FAQs 

Can you use coconut flour for this 90-second bread?

Yes, you can. To make a 90 second  coconut flour bread, you will need 1 1/2 tbsp of coconut flour, 1 tbsp melted butter, 1 large egg, ⅛ tsp salt, and 1 pinch of xanthan gum. Mix as usual, place in a mug, and microwave for 90 seconds. 

Can this 90 second bread be made in a mug?

Yes, you can make this easy bread in a mug.  In fact, many people who make this recipe use mugs. Just make sure that it is microwave-safe.

Tips for making microwave bread

• Use a spatula or knife to loosen the bread from the sides of the mug or ramekin once cooked.
• Make sure not to use too much baking powder in the recipe, as the results can be somewhat bitter. A 1/2 teaspoon is perfect for this small bread.
• It’s important to grease the mug or ramekin so that it is very easy to remove the bread once cooked, especially if baked in the oven. 
• The texture of this bread is very similar to that of regular bread; however, there is a very slight hint of an eggy smell. This can be fixed by adding your favorite spices and seasonings to the dough.
• If you’re using a large mug, expect that your 90 second bread will be large and flat. For a small, long 90 second bread, use a smaller-sized mug.  

Ingredients 

• 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of almond flour
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch of xanthan gum
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon of melted butter
• ½ teaspoon of baking powder

How to make 90 second bread

To start, measure out your ingredients, then gather them all in one place.

Next, add almond flour, salt, xanthan gum, and baking powder to a mug and mix well. Then, add in the melted butter and the egg and mix everything together until properly combined.

Place it in the microwave for 90 seconds.

Remove from the microwave, let cool for a few minutes to set, then slice and serve!

What does 90 second bread taste like?

Usually, 90 second bread tastes somewhat spongy and smells very eggy. However, this recipe tastes quite similar to wheat bread and only has a very slight whiff of eggs, which can easily be masked with some onion or garlic powder. It is also not crumbly, as xanthan gum was used to bind the ingredients. This is a savory keto bread that tastes amazing and is a perfect substitute for recipes that call for wheat bread. 

How to serve keto mug bread

This low-carb mug bread is very versatile and can thus be served in many ways. These include:

• Toasted with some butter and topped with cream cheese, low carb peanut butter, keto jams like this low carb strawberry jam, etc.
• Toasted and made into a keto breakfast sandwich
• Toasted and made into a grilled cheese sandwich
• Made into a tuna sandwich
• Made into an egg sandwich
• Topped with chicken salad

These a just a few ideas, but there are a ton of other ways you can enjoy this 90 second bread!

Can you bake this 90 second bread in the oven?

Yes, you sure can. Follow the steps above, but, rather than placing it in a microwave, place the batter into oven-safe bowls, then place it in the oven for 13-16 minutes at 350 F instead. 

The results will be somewhat different from the microwave mug bread, but, it still works great for a loaf of quick and easy bread. In fact, I like this version more as it feels more bread-like to me.

This is what a keto mug bread made in the oven looks like:

Storing and freezing 90 second bread

You can store this bread in a ziplock bag for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze the bread. To freeze, wrap each slice of bread in plastic foil, then wrap in aluminum foil, place in an air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. 

When you’re ready to eat, simply remove what you will be using from the freezer, thaw, and toast. 

You can also freeze the dough. 

Allow the dough to rest for a few hours on the counter, in the ramekin, mug, or oven-safe baking dish.

Then place in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Remove it from the freezer, and use a spatula to remove it from the baking dish. Next wrap this frozen dough tightly with plastic foil, then aluminum foil, and place in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. 

If you’ve made multiple of these, it is easy and convenient to take out exactly what you need at the moment without disturbing others.

Now that you know how to make this super simple keto microwaveable bread recipe, you’ll never miss bread on keto again!
