Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for keto mug bread, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.
Butter – Provides moisture and flavor, and prevents the bread from being dry. You can also use coconut oil or ghee for a dairy-free or paleo version, respectively. Almond Flour – Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour is the main ingredient, instead of white flour. This brand has the finest grind and is blanched for the best texture in bread, pancakes, muffins, cookies, crackers, and more. Many other brands are too coarse and leave a gritty texture. If you need a nut free version, try my cloud bread instead. Keep in mind that coconut flour does not work as a 1-to-1 substitute, so if you want to use coconut flour, your best bet is to follow the coconut flour microwave bread recipe in the Wholesome Yum app. Psyllium Husk Powder – This is the key to making this keto 90 second bread chewy and sturdy with air pockets, giving it a texture that’s like real wheat bread. As a bonus, it adds fiber! I don’t recommend omitting it because it’s important for texture, but you can substitute flax seed meal for a similar effect. Baking Powder – To help the bread rise! Don’t confuse this with baking soda, which is different and will leave an aftertaste here. Sea Salt – Just a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. Egg – This acts as a binder and also helps with lift. For the right batter ratio, use a large egg for this low carb microwave bread. You can also use a flax egg or other egg substitute, but the bread will be a little more fragile and less airy with those. 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.

Ways To Use 90 Second Keto Bread
You can use 90 second bread in all the same ways that you’d normally enjoy bread! Here are some ideas:
Sandwiches – This is my favorite way to use keto 90 second bread. It’s so quick! My go-to lunch is a turkey sandwich with lettuce and homemade avocado oil mayo. But you can also make other sandwiches like a classic keto BLT, a simple keto grilled cheese, a delicious low carb reuben, or even keto peanut butter and jelly. Spread – This bread is delicious smeared with some grass-fed butter, nut butter, or even chia jam or sugar-free jelly. You could also toast it, slather with butter, and add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a sweet treat. Avocado toast – If you like to freeze avocados like I do, spreading the mashed avocado on the bread is delicious and a great way to use them. Of course, you can do the same with fresh avocado. Breakfast – Try a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheddar cheese, and either sausage or bacon.
