What is Hemp Flour?
Hemp flour comes from ground hemp seeds (yes, those hemp plants). Unlike its CBD cousins, this flour contains less than 0.3% THC, so no buzz—just nutrition. We’re talking 12g protein and 8g fiber per ¼ cup, plus omega-3s that make nutritionists do happy dances.
My kids Sarah and Timmy call it “superhero powder” because it turns basic recipes into nutrient bombs. During Aunt Clarice’s 70th birthday party, we snuck it into three dishes—she still texts us weekly for the “secret green flour” recipe.
What Does Hemp Bread Taste Like?
Imagine whole wheat bread took a hiking trip through a pine forest. Earthy, nutty, and distinctly hearty—this isn’t your fluffy white sandwich loaf. The hemp flavor mellows when microwaved, leaving a warm aroma that pairs beautifully with sweet or savory toppings. Microwaving can actually enhance flavors in many foods, making them more enjoyable. In fact, there are 9 foods that taste better microwaved than baked that you might want to explore.
Texture-wise, think moist cornbread meets English muffin. Aunt Clarice mistook our first batch for store-bought multigrain—until Timmy proudly announced he’d “baked it solo.” Pro tip: Lightly toasting slices amps up the nuttiness while keeping that signature springy crumb. For a quick and easy alternative, consider how to make cornbread in the microwave. It’s a convenient option that can cut down on prep and cook time without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients for 90-second Hemp Bread
Let’s gather our edible squad. This bread needs just five base ingredients—we’ve tested it with three kid interruptions and one dog counter-surfing incident. Pro tip: Measure everything before starting. Microwaves wait for no one. If you’re looking for a quick and simple option, a microwave bread recipe is a fantastic choice. It allows you to whip up a fresh loaf in just minutes!
Essential Ingredients and Substitutes
- 3 tbsp hemp flour (sub with 2 tbsp coconut flour + 1 tbsp psyllium husk)
- 2 tbsp almond flour (sunflower seed flour works for nut-free)
- ½ tsp baking powder (swap ¼ tsp baking soda + ½ tsp apple cider vinegar)
- 1 large egg or flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water)
- 1 tbsp milk (any plant-based variety adds subtle flavor)
We once forgot baking powder mid-recipe—Timmy declared the result “bread-flavored playdough.” Learn from our flops when trying to bake bread in the microwave, as we did with our so-called “Easy 90-Second Hemp Bread”.
Microwave-safe Equipment Needed
- 12-oz ceramic mug or 10-oz ramekin (glass works too)
- Small whisk or fork (spoons leave clumps)
- Measuring spoons (precision matters here)
Metal trims? Plastic containers? Big nope. Our neighbor Lou melted his grandma’s Tupperware trying this—stick to oven-safe ceramics. Instead of risking it, consider using microwave glass Tupperware for safe and efficient heating. This type of container not only withstands high temperatures but also keeps your food free from harmful chemicals.

How to Make 90-second Hemp Bread in the Microwave
Channel your inner wizard—we’re transforming pantry staples into warm bread faster than you can say “hangry.” Follow these steps while resisting the urge to peek mid-cook.
Step-by-step Microwave Instructions
- Whisk egg and milk in your mug until frothy (20 seconds of vigorous stirring).
- Add hemp flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Mix until smooth—no dry patches!
- Microwave on high for 60 seconds. If top looks damp, add 15-second bursts (max 30 extra).
- Let cool 2 minutes—this prevents crumbly disasters when removing.
Our first test batch emerged slightly lopsided. Sarah dubbed it “bread hat” and wore it around the kitchen. Edible fashion!
Tips to Avoid Common Mistakes
- Don’t overmix—stir just until combined to keep it tender
- Check your microwave’s wattage—1000W works best (adjust ±10 seconds for 900-1200W)
- Use a toothpick test—crumbs mean done, wet batter needs more time
If your bread resembles a hockey puck, you likely overmeasured hemp flour. Been there—it still makes great croutons! When experimenting with different ingredients, consider how various flours affect microwave bread texture. Microwave bread can be an easy and quick solution for fresh, soft loaves right at home.
Now that your kitchen smells like a cozy bakery, let’s talk about keeping this hempy goodness fresh (hint: it rarely lasts long).
