Microwave Paleo Low Carb English Muffin
A single serving paleo and low carb bread that is only four ingredients and cooks in the microwave in less than 2 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/8 tsp baking powder, if you are making this completely paleo, make sure to use a homemade paleo baking powder
- 2 tbsp nonfat milk, you can use any kind of milk; use almond milk if you are keeping it paleo
Instructions
- Grease the interior of a 3.5 inch wide ramekin.
- In a small bowl, combine all four ingredients. Whisk together with a small whisk until batter is smooth and even.
- Pour contents into your ramekin. Cook in the microwave at full power for about 90 seconds or until muffin is completely cooked.
- Eat muffin as is, or slice in half and toast in a toaster oven or in a small frying pan over the stove.
Notes
Cooking Tips
- Do not substitute coconut flour with almond flour as they are not the same. Coconut flour can be purchased in most major grocery stores and on Amazon. I usually buy mine from Sprouts or Amazon*.
- I made these using 3.5 inch wide ramekins, which I think is the ideal size for these muffins. If you use different size ramekins, your cooking time will vary.
- If you plan on making more than one, cook them in the microwave one at a time. Cooking multiple ones at the same time leads to uneven cooking.
- These muffins should be cooked in the microwave as soon as the batter is ready. If you let the batter sit, the coconut flour will continue to absorb all the liquid from your batter.
- Toast these in a toaster oven (not a pop-up toaster) or on a warm pan over the stove. I prefer the stove method as you have more control over how much the bread is toasted. I press the bread slices gently down into the warmed pan until toasted and then flip and repeat on the other side as well.
- These muffins can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
