90-Second Microwave Bread with Almond Flour or Coconut Flour

I got this recipe first from my Local Newspaper: The Vernal Express, from an article shared by local: Brittany Wilkerson. My research pointed me to this webpost: Low Carb with Jennifer

I went to the store to see if I could find the perfect glass container, because I just don’t like to heat plastic in the microwave.

I found these: (they come in a set of 3 with lids).

I melt the butter in the microwave…

Then, I add all other ingredients and mix well…

Microwave for 90 seconds…

Using a butter knife, gently loosen sides and bottom, dump out…

Cut in half…

 

I ate it just like this the first time I made it, amazed at the light deliciousness! I added butter.

But immediate thoughts popped into my head that I could toast it or make grilled cheese, or even french toast. (my recipe for keto french toast).

I don’t usually eat bread any more. I just leave it off. I eat lettuce wraps, or eat my sandwiches with a fork, even burgers. But, on my cheat day, its fun to do something different. (I usually go for french fries! Hey! If I’m going to cheat, I want the “good” carbs!)

I have noticed that since I don’t eat much bread any more, It doesn’t take much for me to have had enough. This recipe for instance makes 2 slices of bread. I prefer to eat an “open-faced” sandwich using only 1 slice, saving the other slice in the refrigerator or freezer for later, or another day.

90-Second Microwave Bread Recipe:

  • 3 Tablespoons Almond flour, or 1 1/3 Tablespoons coconut flour (I use Almond flour)
  • 1 Tablespoon oil (melted butter; melted coconut oil or avocado oil) I use butter.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • pinch of salt

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a microwave safe bowl. (If you use a larger container than I did, it will make one larger piece of bread.)

Mix all ingredients together

Tap container on the counter to get bubbles out

Cook in microwave for 90 seconds. It is enough time, really!

I follow a low-carb or keto diet. It seems to be the one that works the best for me. My husband is a celiac (his mother died from the disease) so when I started cooking for him, I started noticing a difference in how my gut feels when I eat regular wheat flour. I thought I had IBS, but as it turns out, I have more gas, bloating, and heartburn when I eat wheat. So, I did something I never thought I could do: I quit eating wheat!! I cheat occasionally, and pay the price. So, here is the link again to: “Low Carb with Jennifer”. I found some great recipes here that work for both low-carb and celiacs.
