This 90 Second Keto Bread is a super easy to make, deliciously cheesy and low carb bread for burgers, sandwiches and more. Guilt free indulgence! Wahoo!
This post was originally published on June 9, 2018 and has been updated with fresh content and images, though the recipe has stayed perfectly the same.
It’s been a year and a half since I first published this 90 Second Keto Bread, and it is still my most used recipe. I am always on the move with busy kids and running the household, never mind all of Mama Bear’s Cookbook, so am always in need of quick meals.
Breakfast sandwiches are among my favourite ways to start the day and sandwiches and burgers are a house staple. I hope you love this 90 Second Keto Bread as much as we do!
Why it works
- Never lose out on having a real burger or sandwich again with this delicious 90 Second Keto Bread!

Ingredients
- almond flour

- grated cheddar cheese
- sea salt
- onion powder
- baking powder
- an egg
- olive oil
- unsalted butter
90 Second Keto Bread Recipe
In a microwave safe dish combine the almond flour with parmesan, shredded cheddar, sea salt, onion powder and baking powder.
Whisk in the egg and oil until fully combined.
Microwave for 90 seconds. It will have puffed up in the microwave and look like a spongy egg creation!
Heat the butter in a skillet on medium high. Cool the bread for a minute or two and then pop it out of the dish. Cut the 90 Second Keto Bread in half, horizontally, to form two thinner bread slices.
Once the butter in the skillet is hot, add the bread slices and fry until nice and toasty. Flip the bread slices over and fry until the other sides are toasty as well.
Enjoy as toast, burger bun or sandwich bread.
Watch the whole thing go down:
Expert Tips
- Whisk the mixture well enough so that the egg is fully beaten and combined well with the other ingredients.
- If the egg is not fully cooked after the 90 seconds in the microwave, cook for an additional 10 seconds in the microwave.
- Cool the bread just long enough to be able to work with it without getting burned – it will be very hot right from the microwave.
- Be sure the skillet and butter are hot when the bread is added, this will give the bread a nice toasty colour and texture.

Thanks Cate!
This is really delicious! Thank you 😊
So glad you liked it Donna 🙂
I am truly in heaven now that I have this recipe! Absolutely excellent and now I am not missing out on the bread I used to crave! Thank you so much!
So glad you love it LJ!
I think this recipe saved my diet. Thank yiu.
I hear ya Kathleen, this recipe was my backbone during a lot of weak days. I’m so glad it’s getting you through as well!
How do you keep the left over Keto bread. Love the recipe. Delicious. Tried your tune recipe as well.
So glad you like it! Personally I would freeze leftover breads. Pack them with wax paper (or parchment) in between each slice, then pack them into freezer bags. They are super easy to just pop into the toaster to heat back up 🙂
Love that I don’t have to use a microwave! Finally I can make this and it was awesome!
I’m so glad, Ned!
I tried this recipe after trying a couple others, and this one is by far the best! I added pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar and it was so tasty!
Hey Monica, I am so glad to hear you like it so much! The pepper jack cheese is an excellent idea – I’ll have to try that next time!
Tried for the first time today. I used it to make a tuna patty melt! Delicious lunch!
So glad you liked it Leney!
Absolutely delicious, I used seasoned salt instead of the onion powder… and just doubled up on shredded cheese since I didn’t have Parmesan. I let this bread sit out on the counter for a little while and it dried out, so it really took on the texture of real bread. So thankful for this recipe!!❤️
I am so glad to hear you love this bread Stephanie!
For those who might want a sweet version: I omitted the onion powder and added a some sweetener and a shake of cinnamon in the batter before I microwaved it. After frying, I topped each half with a bit more cinnamon and sweetener. Delicious! Thx!
That sounds amazing! Thanks for your spin on it 🙂
I’m allergic to almonds. Can this be made with coconut flour?
Hey Jan, unfortunately coconut flour cannot be subbed for almond flour because coconut flour requires much more liquid. Here is a recipe from HealthyRecipesBlog you can try 🙂 I just recommend frying the bread in a hot skillet, with butter, after it has been sliced in half, so get that nice crisp edge.

about to try this recipe for keto bread. Serving size is 1 bread. Is that top and bottom both?
The nutrition facts are for both the top and bottom slice ☺️ Enjoy!
I have been on a keto diet for a month and I have really missed bread. Bread is my favorite. I decided to try your recipe and I absolutely LOVE it! Now I can have cheeseburgers, grilled cheese and toast with my eggs. Thank you so much!!
Hey Dave, I am so happy to hear! There’s nothing like a big ol’ burger with the bun!
This recipe was super easy to follow, and the results were amazing! You almost can’t tell it’s not real bread! Going to continue using this from now on!
I’m so glad you loved it so much Austin!
This is the BEST Keto bread I have ever tried! Love how easy it Is to.
Awesome!! So glad you love it Robin!
I am not in a keto diet, but I am doing CrossFit and I am eating much healthier. Since I began this journey, I have not purchased bread. I made this yesterday; huge fan. Ate it with fried eggs. It was very tasty. Today I made a grilled cheese and grilled onion sandwich with it. Oh my word!! It is fantabulous! I am having so much fun experimenting with my new found healthier eating lifestyle. Thanks so much for this recipe!! Love it!!
I am so glad to hear you liked it to much! Yum, love grilled cheese!
SO QUICK, SO GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS 90 SECOND KETO BREAD RECIPE. IT TURNED OUT PERFECT! I DID NOT HAVE OLIVE OIL, SO USED GRAPESEED. DID NOT HAVE CHEDDAR OR PARMESAN, SO USED GRUYERE AND COLBY JACK. FANTASTIC!! HUSBAND IS HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE NO BREAD THING ( DOCTORS ORDERS, LOW CARB) SO THIS WAS A MUCH NEEDED RECIPE. THANKS AGAIN
So glad you enjoyed Olivia! Happy to hear it worked well with your substitutions 😊
