Magic Mug Low Carb Bread
Description
This recipe creates a single-serving low-carb bread using almond flour as the base, combined with eggs for structure and moisture. A small amount of neutral cooking oil is brushed onto the mug to prevent sticking. The batter is whisked directly in the mug and microwaved for three minutes to quickly set the bread.
The resulting bread has a soft texture and mild flavor, suitable for slicing with a serrated knife. It is easy to prepare without traditional baking equipment, making it a convenient option for quick breads. Almond flour provides the low carbohydrate content and a slightly nutty flavor.
You can scale the recipe by mixing larger batches of batter for multiple mugs. The bread stores well wrapped and refrigerated for a day or two. It serves as a base for toppings or as a low-carb bread substitute in various meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon neutral cooking oil any variety, generic cooking oil
- 2 egg or liquid vegan egg substitute, large
- 1/2 cup almond flour I used Bob's Red Mill, fine ground
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder grain-free
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Drizzle the oil into a tall straight mug, about 3.5 inches wide and 5 inches tall. Brush the oil around the edges to grease the mug.
- Place the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt in the mug. Whisk with a fork until very smooth. Tap the mug on the counter to remove air pockets.
- Microwave on high heat for 3 minutes. Shake the bread loaf out of the mug. Slice with a serrated knife and serve.
- Wrap well and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- To make multiple servings, multiply the ingredients and divide the batter among greased mugs before microwaving.
- Leftover bread can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and kept on the counter for up to one day.
