Micro Bread in a mug

 

This is made in the microwave and is not really ‘bread’ at all but a seed/nut mixture – a great source of both fibre and protein and good for savoury/sweet snacks or lunches.

 

Ingredients

• 2 tsp coconut oil

• 1 large egg

• 2 tbsp ground almonds or ground walnuts (or a mixture)

• 3 tbsp ground golden flax seeds

• ½ tsp baking powder

• Pinch salt

•  

Method

• Microwave the coconut oil for 20-30 seconds until melted and then use it to grease the sides of the mug

• In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the egg, 2 tsp water, the nuts, ground flaxseed, baking powder and salt. Pour the mixture into the mug and stir with a fork to incorporate the coconut oil, making sure the top is level.

• Microwave for 1 minute on high. If it is still very moist microwave for a further 10-20 seconds.

• Tip the bread out of the mug, if necessary loosening with a knife. If it is still runny at the bottom put it back in the cup and microwave for a further 10-20 seconds

• Allow it to cool for a few minutes on its side, and then cut it into slices.
