All combine to give a moist and light texture that really resembles bread! At only 3 net carbs per serving, it takes 90 seconds to make this Keto bread and 90-seconds to demolish!

What is the difference between cacao and cocoa powder?

Cacao and cocoa mean the same thing. A cacao bean is a cocoa bean whether roasted or not. Cocoa powder is made from roasted cacao beans. Cocoa/cacao powder is not the same as drinking chocolate which contains added sugars. Always source natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder.

What can I serve with this sweet Keto bread?

How to make 90-second Keto Bread?

This recipe calls for the use of a microwave, so it’s important to check your settings. A typical domestic microwave has a wattage between 700 and 1,200 watts. The higher the wattage, the faster and more efficiently it will cook, but it can also dry out the bread and even burn. Microwaves with 700W or less are slower and may not cook evenly. This recipe is based on the average 900-1000W microwave, but be sure to adjust the time if you have a higher powered microwave.

If your microwave wattage is:

900-1000W – microwave for 90 seconds.

600-700W – microwave for 90 seconds, plus 10 extra seconds if the bread is still gooey.

1200W – microwave for 60 seconds, plus 10 extra seconds if the bread is still gooey.

If you’re not sure what the power of your microwave is, then start by microwaving the bread for 60 seconds, and check the texture is dry but moist and bouncy. If it’s still on the gooey side, return to the microwave and cook for further 10-second intervals until the center is set.

Are there any ingredient substitutions?

If you use salted butter, simply omit the pinch of sea salt the recipe calls for. You can also make this recipe dairy-free by using a plant-based butter alternative or coconut oil.

How to store 90-second keto bread?

This recipe is best enjoyed the day of making as the bread will begin to dry if left out. If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, simply wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent drying. When ready to eat, remove from the wrap and heat up in the toaster or in a pan on the hob over medium heat.
