Ready in just two minutes, this single-serving cheddar garlic mug bread is super easy to make. Totally gluten-free, grain-free, low-carb, ketogenic and Primal.
I am a huge fan of making meals quick and easy, so that even those who are totally hard-pressed for time can find just a bit of time to make a healthy home-cooked meal. This tasty cheddar garlic mug bread is so quick and easy that you may find yourself making it all the time.
The great thing about this recipe is that it is a single serving. For people who don’t like eating leftovers, or try to avoid having leftovers all together, this is a perfect way to make just enough food for one meal.
This cheddar garlic mug bread is also based on just a few simple ingredients. There’s no need to go buy a bunch of specialty items just to make a simple recipe. If you are a low-carb or gluten-free individual, I bet you even have all of these ingredients in your kitchen right now.
All you need is butter, coconut flour, cheddar cheese, an egg, some garlic powder, parsley flakes, and a pinch of salt. I love this Himalayan pink salt. Just melt the butter in the microwave, then add in all of the other ingredients.
Before you add in the coconut flour, it’s best to remove all of the clumps. I like to reserve half of the cheese for topping the mug bread right before popping it into the microwave. See? Super simple!
But you know what’s even better than a recipe with simple ingredients? One that can be cooked in under 2 minutes! That’s the beauty of the microwave, my friends. This tasty cheddar garlic mug bread can be made in under 5 minutes, start to finish. Crazy, I know!
I hope you enjoyed this cheddar garlic mug bread. If you liked this recipe, you may also like my low-carb cheddar biscuits with a garlic butter sauce, I highly suggest you go check it out!
Single-Serving Cheddar Garlic Mug Bread (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch Salt I love this Himalayan pink salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder and parsley
Instructions
- Melt butter in a mug.
- Add in remaining ingredients and microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. For a tall and narrow mug, you might only need 90 seconds, depending on your microwave. For a wide and shallower mug or ramekin, you will probably need closer to 2 minutes. Once the mug bread starts to separate from the side of the mug, it is likely done.

Great recipes. Just starting Keto diet. You make it look a lot less complicated. Thanks, can’t wait to get started!
So happy to hear that! Let me know if you’re craving anything higher carb, I’ll try to make a keto-friendly version!
Can you give me the carb count on this ?
Hi Dianne, I’ve added the nutrition facts to the recipe card. They are as follows:
Nutrition Facts (per mug bread): 327 calories, 30 g fat, 5 g total carbs, 3 g fiber (2 g net carbs), 9 g protein
Will this work the same with almond flour? Or does it have to be coconut flour?
If you use almond flour, you want to add roughly 3-4 tablespoons instead of the coconut flour.
Found this today. Made it today. Ate the whole thing today. This bread is incredible. By far, the best low carb bread I have tried. Can’t wait to try the Cheddar Biscuits.
Thank you so much Nancy, I’m so thrilled you loved it! You will love the cheddar biscuits 🙂
Love this toasted with an egg and Canadian bacon and cheese for a. Total breakfast.
That’s a great idea Irene! I’ve eaten it with butter melted on top on the bread too, it’s delicious that way also 🙂
I’ve had this recipe since 2019, and have made it at least once because it’s part of my permanent hard copy file. I tried it again today, and realized how truly delicious it is. I used what I would call just slightly generous amounts of the cheese, salt, garlic and parsley. Can’t wait to have this with soup.
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.
Thank you so much, Nancy! I’m so happy to hear that you have enjoyed it multiple times 🙂
