Ingredients For Keto Mug Bread
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make low carb mug bread at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the page for full details and instructions.
- 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.

Is the Calorie and nutrition info per serving, or for the whole thing?
nutrition info is for half of the bread 🙂
Oh man, what a great starting point for a keto friendly breakfast sandwich.
Ok but the real question is where and when did you get that Disneyland mug?
Ahhhh, isn’t it so fun? I got it at the Starbucks on Main Street a couple years ago. I bet you could check ebay maybe?
A waffle maker could be used too. Good for sandwiches.
That’s a fun idea! I need to try that!
