Have you started a Keto or low carb diet recently? What has been the hardest thing for you to give up? Many say that they have the hardest time cutting bread out of their diet. Luckily, there are some great substitutions that can help you when those bread cravings start. This Keto Bread in a Mug can be made with just a few ingredients and in under two minutes. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
Keto Bread in a Mug
Almond flour is a great alternative to traditional flour if your are watching your carbs. It really gives this bread a nice texture and taste. This bread contains 5 net carbs.
The first step to making keto bread in a mug, is finding the perfect mug. You want something big enough so that the batter won’t spill over the top as it cooks. I also like a mug that is not tapered in any way as it creates a more uniformed low carb bread.
Begin by placing the butter in your mug and melting it in the microwave. Once that is done, add in the rest of your ingredients.
I use pink himalayan salt, but if you don’t have any on hand, you can use table salt.
Mix the ingredients together with a fork until they are well blended.
Microwave for 90 seconds. You read that right – 90 seconds! One of the big perks of this keto bread (besides satisfying that craving for bread) is that it takes just 90 seconds to cook.
When it is done cooking, simply shake it out of the mug. If it sticks at all, running a knife along the edges should do the trick. Slice the bread.
Slice the low carb bread. I usually manage to get 4 slices out of a mug. Now you can simply slather on butter and call it a day or you can pop it in the toaster to brown it.
I like to toast mine for a few minutes to make them a little crisper. Sometime I have even fried them in some butter in a pan and that is just delicious.
Now, I just like to top mine with butter and cream cheese. I never can decide on which one I want, so I make two with butter and two with cream cheese.
This keto bread in a mug has a wonderful flavor, and while you won’t mistake it for your favorite bread, it is mighty tatsty and makes me feel like I am not depriving myself of bread. This has more the texture of a corn bread, but is it is still a delicious treat.
While I enjoy having this Keto bread in a mug for breakfast, you can also make it and use it as the bread for a sandwich or the bun for a burger. Yum!

Hi. Made this also and whilst the flavor was good, the texture was very dry and seemed an effort to eat. Any suggestions please ? Cheers

This is my first keto mug bread and it was good !
Liz says
Hi Mary
Mine had quite a dry texture. Is this normal as I have not made before.
Thanks
James says
Great mug bread just needs some keto sugar mix in so it does not taste so bitter.
Molly says
This is the first mug bread I’ve ever made and I never have to search for another recipe! This is absolutely perfect! I added a pinch of Xanthan gum because I was worried about the texture. This was like a crumpet, cornbread, English muffin combo that will work for burger buns, sandwiches, bagels, biscuits, you name it! Call me impressed!!
