TABLE OF CONTENTS
Once I adapted to a ketogenic lifestyle I soon discovered that low carb bread substitutes were either super expensive or tasted like cardboard. Not so with this recipe! I seriously use it at least once a week when I need a quick bread for keto meal planning.
I use this 90 second mug bread for
English muffins in eggs benedict
Toast with peanut butter
Overnight french toast
Dipping in soup
Sandwich making
Stuffing
Keto cinnamon buns
Tuna melts
French toast
and tons more!
All you need is four ingredients
Melted butter
Almond flour
Baking powder
An egg
Mix all four ingredients into a microwave safe mug and microwave on high for 90 seconds. Be sure to mix all of the ingredients thoroughly or the bread will have a funny consistency and be too dry or too moist in spots.
I experiment with this recipe all the time! Because it’s a single serving, the ingredients are not that expensive so why not mix it up? Try adding stevia, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, rosemary, true lemon, cocoa etc. Not all at once of course lol.
You can also put the ingredients into an oven safe dish and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees if you want to avoid the microwave all together. Or pour the batter into silicone muffin liners for quick low carb cupcakes to take to your next party.
The possibilities are truly endless! Be sure to check out my Focaccia Mug Bread recipe too!
Find low carb substitutions for your current favorite recipes. Like cauliflower instead of perogies and radishes instead of potatoes.
Maintain a healthy balance of protein and fats. Sometimes its hard to get enough fat and/or protein in a ketogenic diet so be sure to include a balance of both in your dishes.
Plan ahead and use tools like this Meal Planning Printable to reach maximum success.

The other answers are all excellent, but I'll add that for baking cookies and simple things like muffins, you can replace one cup of wheat flour in the recipe with one cup of almond flour, and double the amount of eggs. Every fake flour is different, but that's what is recommended for almond flour.
Since baking powder contains baking soda, baking powder cannot be used in almond flour baking. Instead, eggs (or applesauce or bananas) can be used as the leavening agent to help baked goods rise and achieve a light and fluffy texture.
Using Almond flour will not make your read rise at all. Dough rises because gasses produced by the yeast are captured in the dough by the gluten structure. Almond doesn't have gluten so no structure and not rising. Gluten free bread usually replaces gluten by other additives such as guar gum or xanthan etc.
As you can see, almond flour is far higher in fat than coconut flour, making it superior for those following a Ketogenic Diet, or a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diet. Coconut flour is far higher in carbohydrates than almond flour.
Our chef prefers to add a little xanthan gum or cornstarch to the almond flour to help with the texture, though it is not entirely necessary to do so. Almond flour is pretty forgiving in that regard. Some use arrowroot powder to achieve a similar effect in their bread recipes.
Almond flour is a little more moist than wheat flour, and doesn't have quite the same binding qualities. You'll do best to substitute 1:1 to begin with, as many recipes respond well to this direct replacement. But be prepared to add more almond flour as you go to compensate for the wetter batter.
When you replace some of the all-purpose flour with almond flour in non-yeast recipes, you'll probably notice a difference in how your baked goods either rise, or spread. Cookies and scones may spread more; cake, biscuits, and muffins may rise less.
In the absence of gluten, almond flour needs a little help to bind ingredients together. Eggs are a traditional and effective binding agent, providing structure and elasticity. However, for those seeking a vegan option or for recipes that don't require eggs, xanthan gum is a popular alternative.
Be sure to substitute the same amount a recipe calls for with equal parts of baking soda, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, buttermilk, milk, or vinegar. Baking powder is another option since it is simply a combination of baking soda and acid.
Skinny Roux is prepared using avocado oil and almond flour, and cooked slowly until it is the perfect deep, rich, chocolate-brown color! It can be used in your gumbos, stews, and gravies, exactly how you would use a traditional jarred roux.
No, almond flour doesn't rise with yeast because of its low carbohydrate count. In this recipe, the almond flour gets its quick bread rise from the baking soda and eggs, but without that eggy taste. My almond flour bread recipe doesn't use yeast because I don't want you to waste your money.
I love that this keto recipe is a gluten-free friendly bread recipe, dairy free, and perfect for a keto lifestyle. It's such a game changer at only 2.7 grams of net carbs!
You can still eat traditional bread while on a low carb keto diet, but you need to eat it in moderation, with one slice containing around 20g in carbs. Better still, you may want to switch to eating keto-friendly bread, which you can easily make at home.
In general, white bread has the highest amount of carbohydrates per serving, followed by wheat bread, and then multigrain bread. A 1-ounce slice of white bread typically contains around 14 grams of carbohydrates, while a slice of wheat bread contains around 12 grams of carbohydrates.
