Prep: 2 Cook: 2
Ingredients
  • 14g unsalted butter
  • 24g fine almond flour (blanched)
  • 1 large large egg
  • 2.5ml baking powder
  • 0.6ml fine sea salt (optional)
Instructions
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Microwave on high power for 90 seconds. The bread will rise and should spring back when lightly touched.

  4. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing from the mug. The bread will be hot!

  5. 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.
