For more than 1,200 watts, check at 75 seconds.
Continue only in 10-second increments.

Keto Microwave Bread FAQ

Why is my bread rubbery?

It was likely overcooked. Reduce the next cook by 10 to 15 seconds and stop when the center is just set.

Can I replace almond flour with coconut flour?

Not in equal amounts. Coconut flour absorbs much more liquid and requires a separately tested formula.
