90-Second Keto Bread (Coconut Flour)
90-second keto bread is so versatile. It has a lovely spongy texture that readily soaks up butter, sugar-free honey, or jam.
Servings 1 microwave bread
Calories 204kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (if using salted, omit the salt)
- ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or just a pinch of fine salt)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder (gluten free if needed)
Instructions
- In a small microwave-safe bowl (mine measures 3 inches on the bottom and 3.5 inches at the top), melt the butter in the microwave.
- Allow the melted butter to slightly cool, then mix in the remaining ingredients until smooth.
- Microwave the mixture on high for 90 seconds. The bread will puff up while "baking," then slightly deflate. When done, it will look like a muffin. Make sure it appears set, otherwise microwave it for 10-20 more seconds (but 90 seconds should be enough, and overcooking can dry it). Take care when removing it from the microwave. The bowl will be hot.
- Let the bread slightly cool, a minute or so. Then gently, with a paring knife, loosen the edges and remove the bread from the bowl onto a plate.
- Slice the bread crosswise into two slices and top it with your favorite toppings.
To toast the bread:
- Heat a pat of butter in a medium skillet over medium-low (not higher) heat. Or spray the skillet with olive oil spray.
- Add the bread slices. Cook, gently pressing on them with a spatula to ensure even toasting, until golden, about 3 minutes per side.

Notes
Toasting the bread in a buttered skillet greatly improves its flavor and texture, but this is not mandatory. Usually, I don't bother. However, if you try this bread and find that you really dislike it (some do), I highly suggest trying it toasted.
