How to Make Our Almond Flour Microwave Mug Bread
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a wide microwave-safe mug or ramekin, whisk almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Break up any clumps to avoid gummy spots.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add egg, melted butter, and water. Stir 45 seconds with a fork until thick and smooth. The batter will gel quicklyโthatโs normal.
- Microwave: Level the top and sprinkle optional seasoning. Microwave 90 seconds on high (1000W) or 110 seconds if 700W. The bread will rise then settle slightly; the top should be firm.
- Cool & Release: Let sit 2 minutes to set. Run a knife around the edges and tip out onto a plate.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- Reheat for 10โ15 seconds in the microwave for a fresh texture.
- Top with butter, avocado, or a slice of cheese for a quick, protein-packed snack.
