This quick keto bread is so easy to make and you’ll only need 5 ingredient, plus salt:
- Almond Flour: The essential ingredient.

Absolutely. Replace almond flour with ground sunflower seeds or use a blend of coconut flour and flax meal. Simply replace the almond flour with the same amount (¼ cup) of ground sunflower seeds. Then, replace the almond flour and psyllium powder with 1 tbsp coconut flour (8 g/ 0.3 oz) + 2 tbsp (14 g/ 0.5 oz) flax meal (this bread will be thinner and you won’t be able to cut it widthwise).
Swap out baking powder with a mixture of baking soda and cream of tartar. The substitution ratio is ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda for every teaspoon of baking powder. If you don’t have cream of tartar, use another acidic ingredient such as lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

Tips for the Best Quick Keto Bread

- Right Container: Use a square microwave-safe dish to help the bread cook evenly and look closer to regular bread.
- Microwave Watch: Start with 90 seconds, but add time in small increments if it’s not set.
- Cool Slightly: Let it cool for a minute before slicing to improve the texture.
Storage Instructions
Store at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
Yes, pour the mix into a small ovenproof baking dish lined with parchment paper and bake at 350°F (175°C) fan assisted, or 350°F (195°C) conventional until fully set and lightly browned on top. The bake time will vary between 8 to 12 minutes based on the size of your dish. The smaller the container, the longer it will take to bake through as the bread will be thicker.
