These low carb cheddar cheese biscuits or mug bread are one of our favorite quick recipes.
Cheesy, savory with a coconut flour kick, this gluten-free recipe has definite keto bread texture.
Ideal for mini sandwiches, spread with butter, or as a side to your favorite keto dish.
One of the best things about low carb microwave mug bread is how easy and straightforward it is to prepare and the savory gooey texture.
We currently have another 90-second microwave mug bread recipe made with almond flour. It’s simple, quick, and good for those who are not sensitive to nut flour.
This recipe has more of a cheesy taste as opposed to an eggy taste with a lovely soft texture.
You can quite easily serve these to anyone following a high carb diet, and apart from being very satisfying, they would never know it was a keto meal.
In less than 10 minutes, you have a perfect gluten-free snack or side dish for a ketogenic diet loaded with healthy fats.

How To Make Low Carb Coconut Flour Cheesy Mug Bread
Melt butter in a large mug or baking dish in a microwave.
Add all dry ingredients including coconut flour, garlic and baking powder, dried parsley, black pepper, and Himalayan pink salt, then mix with a fork.
Add wet ingredients including 1 egg, water, grated cheese, and heavy whipping cream and mix well until combined.
Microwave for 2½ -3 minutes. Allow about 2 minutes to cool down as it will be piping hot.
Enjoy straight from the mug or slice and enjoy with thinly spread butter.
If you wish to use an oven instead of a microwave, then mix the ingredients in a small baking dish and bake in an oven for 10 minutes at 360°F until the bread rises and a toothpick comes out clean.
No need for the full 10 minutes if you want a moist, gooey melted cheese on the inside.
The bread slides out of the mug so smoothly, making it easy to slice and spread butter if you wish to increase fat intake.
If you find the baked recipe doe not hold well together then microwave for an extra 30 seconds or bake a few minutes longer.
If it turns out a little dry, then slightly reduce the time baked or in the microwave.
We prefer our mug recipes savory and sometimes with a hint of garlic powder and black pepper.
Feel free to experiment with keto mug bread and substitute with different types of herbs and spices, flours, creams, etc.

I have to tell you that this is AMAZING! I forgot to buy whipping cream so I substituted a tablespoon of cream cheese and in 3 minutes I had a soft homemade biscuit (made it in a shallow bowl) with spread butter on it! This is the very best recipe! Thank you!
