90-Second Keto Bread: A Sunflower Seed Delight
If you're following a keto diet, finding a quick, delicious, and healthy ketogenic bread alternative can be a challenge. We're excited to introduce our unique 90-second keto bread recipe, made conveniently in a mug with just four simple ingredients.Â
What sets our bread apart? It's made from sunflower seeds instead of the common almond flour found in most keto bread recipes. This twist not only makes our bread uniquely nutty and delicious, but keeps oxalate levels low, which is helpful in a PKD-friendly, low-oxalate diet.
Why Sunflower Seeds?
Sunflower seeds are a fantastic low-oxalate option, making this bread perfect for individuals with polycystic kidney disease or anyone looking to reduce oxalate consumption. Almond flour, while popular in keto recipes, is high in oxalates, which can be a concern for kidney health. By using sunflower seeds, we ensure our bread remains keto-friendly and kidney-friendly without compromising on taste or texture. Plus, it’s nut-free and gluten-free too!
