Ingredients :
Base Recipe:
- 2 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (or chia seeds for binding)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut, or oat milk)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla extract for flavor
Optional Mix-Ins (choose your favorite or a combination):
- 1 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1 tbsp seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame seeds)
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut or unsweetened cacao nibs
- Savory options: grated cheese, herbs, or spices like garlic powder or Italian seasoning
Instructions :
- Prep your jar
Use a microwave-safe jar, mug, or ramekin that holds at least 1 cup. Lightly grease the inside with oil or butter to prevent sticking. - Mix the dry ingredients
Add almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt directly into the jar. If you’re using spices like cinnamon or cocoa powder, add them now and mix well. - Add the wet ingredients
Crack the egg into the jar and pour in the milk. Stir thoroughly until you get a smooth, even batter. If using mix-ins, fold them in now. - Microwave
Place the jar in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 90 seconds. The bread is done when it has risen slightly and feels firm to the touch. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness. - Cool and enjoy
Let it cool for about a minute. To remove, run a knife around the edge and gently lift out. You can slice it in half and toast it for added texture.
Serving Ideas:
Sweet version: Spread with almond butter, top with fresh berries, or drizzle with sugar-free syrup.
Savory version: Add hummus, mashed avocado, or cream cheese. Pair with sliced tomato, a side salad, or eggs for a satisfying meal.
Tips for Best Results:
- Coconut flour can be used, but only 1 to 2 teaspoons are needed due to its high absorbency. Add a bit more milk if using it.
- Start with 60 seconds of microwave time and increase in 10-second intervals if needed.
- Try different flavors like cocoa, herbs, or cheese depending on your craving.
- Double the recipe and use a larger jar for a heartier portion.
