Sometimes you just need a slice…
This recipe was born a “mug cake” but evolved into a baked bread recipe and it just works. This single serving keto bread is so legit. You can make it in the microwave or you can make it in the oven, honestly both turn out great. All you need is a small container, 7×7 pyrex works well, and 5 ingredients.
It’s definitely not a low-calorie bread, but made with whole food ingredients, go ahead… say yes to the bread!
Avocado toast is back baby! I love it with scrambled eggs and some berries. Also great toasted and just eaten alone or with a cup of coffee. MmmMmmM… Low Carb, High Fat for the win!
Substitutions:
I have not tried this single serving keto bread with other flours, sorry!
But ghee, softened butter or coconut all work for the fat in this recipe.
Blanched almond meal works best, for a soft, white bread, but you can use regular almond meal (almonds ground with the skin on) for a “whole wheat” bread look and feel.
If you make this single serving keto bread share the love!

Description
Single Serve Bread
Ingredients
- 4 rounded tbsp fine ground almond meal
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large room temperature egg
- 2 tbsp softened ghee, butter or coconut oil (any saturated fat will do)
- 2 tbsp water (a splash more if the mix seems too thick)
Instructions
- In a small, shallow microwave safe container whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.
- Make a well in the center and crack an egg open into it.
- Whisk well, then add in the fat and water while you continue whisking.
- Once it becomes frothy start making bigger circles with your whisk or fork to incorporate the flour mix.
- Mix well, getting all the edges and sides. You can use a spatula to make sure you have it all mixed in.
- Tap the container down on the counter to settle the mix.
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds, or until the center is cooked (add cooking time in 30 second intervals).
- If you’re baking it, use a glass dish, and bake at 350F (or 325F convection) for 20 minutes.
- Run a spatula around the edges to separate and remove it from the container.
- Pop it in the toaster for 3-4 minutes until crisp.
- Top with yummy things, enjoy

I just made this in a mug and I mostly followed your directions. Almonds are one of the few nuts I can eat. It looked a little spongy but the taste was okay. I crisped it up a little by slicing it into 4 small pieces and sticking it in the toaster. Toasting it makes all the difference. I am Norwegian and not eating bread has been one of the food items I miss the most, so thank you for this recipe.

Toasting it is a must! That’s why its written in the instructions 🙂 I’m glad this recipe brings yo comfort!

Hi Christine, great idea but how do we know if its done, given size of dish is not indicated? Is it done when it pulls away from sides of dish?
Cristina says
You’ll know it’s done by the texture… you’re making bread, think bread shape, like the kind of tupperware you would put a sandwich in is ideal.
Beth Gosnell says
Love this recipe for an occasional “bread” treat. Have made it several times topped with dairy-free cream cheese, almond butter, etc. Thank you for a delicious dairy-free, sweetener free option!
Cristina says
Yeah Beth! That’s what I’m talking about! Yum!
Sandee says
Hi. Just came across this recipe. Where did you find a 7×7 pyrex?
Cristina says
I get most of my glass storage stuff at Target!
Clair says
I made this and the flavor was great!
The texture seemed a bit off, but I may have not done this correctly. Was your “batter” before it baked really soupy? If not, what was the consistency?
Thanks so much! Love your recipes!
Cristina says
Honestly, it’s been ages since I made this since I can no longer eat the almond meal with frequency, I don’t fully remember. But I will since the instructions say to tap down the container, the batter should probably be thick. If yours was soupy, next time add less water.
Katie D says
Any ideas on substituting coconut four? Or any guess on starting point for substituting if we’re going to experiment?
Cristina says
Not sure it would work as well… you would need to start with VERY little coconut flour. Rule of thumb when using coconut flour you need 1/3 of the amount of regular or nut flour used.

SHAME IT USES A MICROWAVE… CAN YOU GIVE TIMINGS FOR USING A STD GRILL, BURNERS OR, OVEN?
Cristina says
Oven instructions are included in the recipe box, see step #8 🙂
