Recipe Tips
Toast it: After microwaving, slice and toast the bread for a golden, crisp exterior.
Adjust the cooking time according to your microwave. Different microwaves have different power levels and may cook the keto bread faster or slower. You should check the keto bread after 90 seconds and see if it is cooked through. If not, you can add 10 to 15 seconds more until it is done. You don’t want to overcook the keto bread, as it may become dry and hard.
Extra fluffiness: Whisk the egg well before mixing for a lighter texture.
Ingredient Swaps
- Butter substitute: Use melted coconut oil for a dairy-free option. It adds a subtle coconut flavor that pairs well with this bread.
- No parsley? Swap it with basil, oregano, or dill for a different herbal profile.
- Coconut flour alternative: Use 3 tbsp almond flour instead. Almond flour is less absorbent, so you’ll need more of it. Or check my keto almond flour mug bread recipe here!
Storage
This bread is best fresh, but you can make it ahead of time:
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds.
- Freeze: Wrap tightly in plastic and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature or microwave for 20 seconds before eating.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions about this keto mug bread recipe:
Q: Does this bread taste eggy?
A: Some people may find this bread a bit eggy, but you can reduce the eggy taste by adding more flavors, such as garlic, parsley, cheese, or herbs. You can also use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to balance the egg flavor.
Q: Can I make this bread egg-free?
A: Yes, you can make this bread egg-free, but you will need to use a substitute for the egg. Some options are chia seeds, flax seeds, psyllium husk powder, or xanthan gum. These ingredients will help bind the bread and give it some rise. You will also need to add some liquid, such as water, almond milk, or coconut milk, to replace the moisture from the egg. The amount and ratio of the substitute and the liquid will vary depending on the ingredient you use, so you may need to experiment a bit to find the best result.

Q: Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
A: Yes, you can use almond flour instead of coconut flour, but you will need to adjust the amount. Almond flour is less absorbent than coconut flour, so you will need more of it. A general rule is to use 3 times more almond flour than coconut flour. For this recipe, you will need 3 tbsp of almond flour instead of 1 tbsp of coconut flour.
Q: Can I make this bread without a microwave?
A: Yes, you can make this bread without a microwave, but you will need to use an oven or a stovetop. To use an oven, preheat it to 180°C (350°F) and bake the bread in a ramekin or a small oven-safe dish for about 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. To use a stovetop, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and grease it lightly. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
Q: Is coconut flour keto-friendly?
A: Yes, coconut flour is very keto-friendly! It has just 2 grams of net carbs per 2-tablespoon (15-gram) serving, making it a great alternative to wheat flour for people who follow a keto diet or have nut allergies12. Coconut flour is also rich in fiber, which can help you feel full and support your digestion3. Moreover, coconut flour contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are a type of fat that can be quickly converted into ketones, helping you reach and maintain ketosis. Coconut flour is also gluten-free and minimally processed, making it a healthy and natural choice for keto baking.
Q: Can I make French toast with this bread?
A: Yes, you can make French toast with this bread, and it will be delicious! Just slice the bread and dip it in a mixture of egg, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Then, cook it in a skillet over medium heat, flipping once, until golden and cooked through. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sugar-free syrup, berries, whipped cream, or nut butter.
Q: How does this bread compare to regular bread?
A: This bread is different from regular bread in several ways. First, it is much lower in carbs, as it uses coconut flour instead of wheat flour. It also has more fiber, protein, and fat, which can help you feel full and satisfied. Second, it is made in a microwave, which means it is faster and easier to make than regular bread. Third, it has a different texture and flavor, depending on the ingredients and flavors you use. Some people may find it more dense and moist, while others may find it more fluffy and light. You can experiment with different ways to make and serve this bread, and find your favorite one.
