RECIPE TIPS
Here are some tips to keep in mind when making 90 second almond keto microwave bread:
- Use a microwave-safe bowl that is deep enough to allow the bread to rise without overflowing.
- Make sure your almond flour is fresh and fine, as lumpy or coarse almond flour can affect the texture of the bread.
- Use a fork or whisk to mix the ingredients well and ensure there are no lumps.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the power of your microwave. You may need to add or subtract a few seconds to get the perfect texture.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing it to avoid it falling apart.
- For variation, you can add spices or herbs to the bread mixture before microwaving, such as garlic powder or rosemary, to add extra flavor.
OTHER LOW CARB FLOURS
Microwave low carb bread can be made with other flours in addition to almond flour. Coconut flour microwave bread will require an additional egg and reduced amount of flour. Ground flaxseed and lupin flour can be used but the volume would vary.
