Instructions

Instructions are for 2 servings. Please modify as needed.

  1. Grease a large mug or glass dish with a flat bottom with butter.
  2. Mix together all dry ingredients in the mug with a fork or spoon. Crack in the egg and stir in the cream. Combine until smooth and make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Microwave on high (approximately 700 watts) for 2 minutes. Check if the bread is done in the middle – if not, microwave for another 15-30 seconds.
  4. Let cool and remove from the mug. Slice in half.
  5. In a bowl or deep plate, whisk together the eggs, cream and cinnamon with a pinch of salt. Pour over the bread slices and let them get soaked. Turn them around a few times so the bread slices absorb as much of the egg mixture as possible.
  6. Fry in plenty of butter and serve immediately.

Tip!

This recipe is based on our Low-carb mug bread, but you can use any other low-carb bread you prefer. If you don't want to measure the dry ingredients every time, prepare your own baking mix ahead. Take 10 tablespoons (150 ml) almond flour, 10 tablespoons (150 ml) coconut flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 1⁄2 tablespoons baking powder. Then you have the dry mix ready for 10 pieces.

    it was plain but good. i’d make it again but i think i’ll splurge with a tiny bit of sugar free maple syrup. I’ve lost 30lb. I can splurge now & then as long as I behave most of the time.

    The ingredients used to make this total more like 6.5g. per servings. 2 Tbs of coconut flour is 8 grams and 2 Tbs of Almond flour is 5 grams. Still it's a great recipe. I added stevia and made it a sweet snack, even without the batter.

    What happens if I don’t have coconut flour

    Coconut flour is about 50% of the volume of dry ingredients in this recipe. Your batter will be very runny.

    Is it ok to add vanilla extract in mug cake? I added some to the egg mix

    Can this be made without almond flour?

    Thanks for the great recipe! I enjoyed it. I'm not on the keto diet per se, but I have to eat both gluten free and low carb (the latter due to diabetes). I just made this for dinner with some sugar free syrup. It was delicious! It definitely tastes better than it looked. I wasn't sure it would come out because it seemed too eggy. But it was great. I've shared it around. Oh, very filling, too. It made a ton.

    I love this recipe! I actually just make the bread part and sprinkle cinnamon and powdered swerve on top before baking and then put butter on it when it comes out of the oven.

    Hello, I was going through some of the snack and sandwich recipe that you are having and reading here & there on the subject; as a fried mention the keto diet. However I find this recipe called KETO BLT with cloud bread, sound fantastic but what does it stand for "BLT"?

    Thanks!

    BLT stands for Bacon Lettuce Tomato, the ingredients between the cloud bread that make up the sandwich.

    After making the first batch and finding it abit bland, I added 1/2 tsp of stevia and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the dough and the batter. Absolutely yummy. In fact too yummy I have to tell myself not to eat it all at once.

    Does the photo show ‘real’ French toast? it’s triangular. The recipe calls for mug bread, not the same. This appears misleading...

    I would think a waffle maker would also work for the mug bread portion of the recipe, but it will still need to be pan fried with the batter.

    make it in a square bowl, cut in half diagnonally

    Does 1.serving mean u eat just one half slice of the toast or do you eat a whole slice cut in half??

    Each slice is one serving, so once you cut the bread in half, you'll have two servings.

    We don’t use a microwave, could I make this bread recipe in the oven or toaster oven? Other bread recipes take forever & have so many ingredients!

    Hands down, one of the best recipes on this site! It's nice to freshly make the bread, slice it up right into the egg mixture and frying quickly in butter. I made the dry mix in bulk which is easiest for a quick grab when assembling. I top mine with a splash of SF maple syrup, too. I also find this VERY filling which is perfect. Thanks, DD!

    I guess this is obvious to everyone else, but if I make the bulk dry mix, how much do I use for the original 2 servings?
    4 tablespoons of the dry mix? Thank you.

    The volume of the batch of dry mix should be about 24T.

    It doesn't have to be a mug! You can use a square (or round) glass dish if needed.

    Oh no! I am glad it worked out well even with the missteps in following the recipe.

    Can you also substitute the coconut flour for extra almond flour?

    Coconut flour and almond flour generally bring different properties to baked goods. With all almond flour, you may find them very dense.

    Hi Kristin
    I am replying to your question about the oven instead of microwave. I doubled the recipe (for the eggs i used 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites). Then melted butter (2 tbsp) in the bottom of a round cake pan and baked in the oven for 13 mins at 350. Check it after 10 mins or so to see if top springs back, if not keep baking. It tends to stick to the pan, so you really need the butter, but otherwise it turned out great!

    Just made this for our breakfast for dinner and it was great! I certainly recommend.
    I topped it with heavy cream whipped with a little swerve and a splash of vanilla.
    It turned out great, I will definitely make it again. Thanks for the recipe.

    I keep meaning to ask...I use "whipping cream" which is 33% MF. What is the % of fat in "double cream". The only double cream I ever see is "Devon Cream". What should I use in the DD recipes? Thanks.

    Double cream will have a higher fat percentage, but it should work just fine in the recipes!

    I made 1 serving in a mug. I sliced into three slices which were still quite thick. Sliced into four rounds would be better for the diameter and height of the result. The photo is a bit misleading because it is triangles and recipe doesn’t reference using a square cooking vessel. Although perhaps this is what is meant by cut in half?

    Yes, any shape will work fine!

    I used a microwave plate instead of a mug since mugs might break, It doesnt really say how to slice, diagonally ior other wise,

    Will a "flax egg" or egg whites work instead of whole eggs for either the mug bread or the batter? I have used egg whites in the past for french toast without a problem but not sure about the mug bread. Any thoughts or suggestions to eliminate the egg yolk?
