How to Make 90-Second Keto Bread
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine psyllium husk powder with warm water.
Note: It’s crucial to mix the psyllium husk and the hot water well until it thickens for better texture. If it doesn’t, heat the butter and add it to the mixture. Keep stirring until it thickens. This step should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Skipping it may result in bread that doesn’t rise and has a gummy center.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Mix in almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and lump-free. Tip: Use a hand mixer if available for a creamier batter.
Microwave: Pour the batter into a greased coffee mug or ramekin. Microwave on high for 90 seconds. The bread should rise and be firm to the touch.
Cool & Slice: Let the bread rest for a minute before slicing. This prevents crumbling and ensures the perfect texture.
Oven Option: Preheat to 350°F. Bake in a small loaf pan or ramekin lined with parchment paper for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Recipe Tips for Success
- Mix Psyllium Husk Powder Thoroughly: This step ensures the bread has a light, fluffy texture instead of being gummy.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps the batter mix evenly and bake consistently.
- Experiment with Spices: Add a pinch of garlic powder, xanthan gum, or different spices for a flavorful twist.
Ingredient Swaps and Add-Ins
- Low-Carb Sweet Bread: Add a dash of cinnamon and a teaspoon of peanut butter to the batter for a delicious breakfast treat. You can also sprinkle some sugar-free chocolate chips or a touch of vanilla extract for a sweeter twist.
- Savory Add-Ins: For a more flavorful bread, mix in shredded mozzarella, a dollop of cream cheese, or a teaspoon of sour cream. These additions will enhance the texture and richness of your mug bread.
- Coconut Flour Alternative: If you’re out of almond flour, you can substitute it with coconut flour. Remember to use only 1 tablespoon, as coconut flour is more absorbent, and adjust the water as needed for a smooth batter.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Store slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Wrap bread slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
