If you are on a low carb diet, then you know the pain and suffering that comes from the lack of bread. For me, it used to be a staple in every meal: toast with breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and even more bread with dinner. Why not!? It's so good.
Fortunately, you can still eat bread while keeping your carbohydrate intake low! You can thank the coconut and almond flour for that. I always have my pantry full of these two flours because they complement each other very well.
Easy Microwave Low Carb Bread
Ingredients:
1 large egg
1 tablespoon of almond flour
1 tablespoon of coconut flour
1 spoonful of milk
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
Optional Ingredients:
1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese
garlic powder, herbs or spices of your choice
Instructions:
In a small bowl, mix egg, flour, milk, baking powder and salt. Add herbs and cheese, if using, and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a small microwave-safe container or a large cup and heat it in the microwave for 90 seconds.
Place the cup or bowl face down on a cutting board or plate and let the bread slide. Cut it crosswise making two round muffins in the shape of an English muffin.
To toast, place the rounds of bread in a high heat pan with a touch of butter or oil for 30-60 seconds on each side.
Tips:
The combination of coconut flour and almond flour gives this cookie the right amount of structure and moisture. If you only use coconut flour, you would only use 1.5 scoops. If you are only using almond flour, you probably need 3-4 tablespoons.
This multi-purpose bread can be eaten as toast or sandwich! It's absolutely delicious with a fried egg, a few slices of bacon, cheese and avocado stacked in the middle.
