Recipe Details
Ingredients
- 14g unsalted butter
- 24g fine almond flour (blanched)
- 1 large large egg
- 2.5ml baking powder
- 0.6ml fine sea salt (optional)
Instructions
-
Place 14g unsalted butter in a microwave-safe mug or ramekin (at least 240ml/1 cup capacity). Microwave for 15 seconds or until completely melted.
-
Add 24g fine almond flour (blanched), 1 large large egg, 2.5ml baking powder, and 0.6ml fine sea salt (optional) to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps.
-
Microwave on high power for 90 seconds. The bread will rise and should spring back when lightly touched.
-
Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing from the mug. The bread will be hot!
-
Slice horizontally in half to create two rounds, or vertically for sandwich slices. Toast lightly in a dry skillet if desired for extra texture.
Tips
Mug Size: Use a mug that's at least 240ml (1 cup) capacity to allow room for the bread to rise without overflowing.
Mixing Thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the batter completely smooth - any lumps of almond flour will create uneven texture in the finished bread.
Microwave Power: This recipe is designed for full power (1000W) microwaves. If your microwave is lower wattage, you may need to add 10-15 seconds to the cooking time.
Cooling Time: Let the bread cool slightly before handling - it will be very hot straight from the microwave and needs a moment to set properly.
Toasting Option: For a more traditional bread texture, slice and toast the cooled bread in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.
Storage: This bread is best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
Serving Ideas: Perfect for breakfast sandwiches, as a burger bun, with avocado and everything bagel seasoning, or simply buttered and topped with sugar-free jam.
Flavor Variations: Add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder for savory applications, or a pinch of cinnamon and a few drops of vanilla extract for a sweeter version.
Nutritional Info: Each serving contains approximately 2g net carbs, 14g fat, and 8g protein - making it perfect for ketogenic diets.
