Recipe: 90-Second Keto Bread

Forget Atkins and Paleo — the new low-carb diet du jour is called keto, as in ketogenic. Although there are many similarities between these diets, a keto diet is all about restricting carbohydrates and increasing healthy fats. The goal is to force your body's metabolism into ketosis, which means it burns fat instead of glucose — because without carbs, glucose isn't readily available.

Luckily, enterprising food-lovers following a keto diet have figured out a work-around. It's called "90 Second Keto Bread" and it's popping up all over the internet. Think of it like a mug cake version of a biscuit that happens to look a lot like an English muffin.
