Ingredients For Keto Mug Bread

salted butter– Salted butter gives a little more flavor that unsalted, so I recommend using salted butter for this recipe.
super fine almond flour– Find almond flour in most grocery stores baking section. If you have Sprouts, that’s where I find mine. Check Amazon as well.
baking powder– find in the baking section of your grocery store.
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
large egg– I use large eggs for all of my baking needs.
shredded cheese– I like to use shredded cheddar cheese for my mug bread, but any variety will work great. Pepperjack would be amazing as well.
heavy cream– Don’t substitute the cream, it gives richness and texture to the bread.
crumbled bacon– I generally use the ready bacon that you can microwave quickly to crumble.
diced green chilies– If you are not a green chile fan, you can leave these out or even substitute with chopped jalapenos.
green onion– Green onion gives color and great flavor to the mug bread, you can substitute with white onion if needed.

How To Make Keto Mug Bread Recipe

Place butter into bottom of mug of choice and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, egg, cheese, cream, bacon, green chilies and green onion. Stir to combine. Take a paper towel and clean edges and microwave for 2 minutes and 30-45 seconds. Remove mug from microwave and let cool for 2 minutes before removing. Use a knife to loosen edges if needed and carefully flip onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife and gently cut bread in half. Enjoy plain, with butter or use as bread for a sandwich!

Once the butter is melted in your favorite mug, pour the rest of the ingredients as you’d like.

Feel free to substitute your favorite variety of shredded cheese in this recipe. Pepperjack cheese is great, Provolone and even Gruyere.

Once your ingredients are in the mug, use a spoon to stir to combine.

Once combined, use a damp paper towel to clean inside edges of mug.
