Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg (or 1.5 egg whites)
- 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter (or ghee/coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 3 tbsps (21 g) blanched almond flour
- 0.5 tbsp (3.5 g) coconut flour
- 0.5 tsp (2 g) baking powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation Setup: Select a microwave-safe ramekin approximately 4 inches wide with a flat bottom, ensuring ideal baking conditions.
- Fat Integration: Melt butter completely using microwave or preheating oven, creating a smooth liquid base for the mixture.
- Ingredient Fusion: Combine almond flour, coconut flour, egg, sea salt, and baking powder directly into melted butter, whisking thoroughly until a uniform, lump-free batter forms.
- Resting Phase: Allow mixture to sit momentarily, permitting flours to absorb moisture and slightly thicken the consistency for optimal texture.
- Cooking Method: Choose between microwave (90 seconds on high power) or conventional oven (350°F for 15 minutes) until the bread develops a golden surface and springs back when touched.
- Cooling and Release: Let bread rest 1-2 minutes after cooking, then carefully loosen edges with a thin knife and invert onto a serving plate in one smooth motion.
- Finishing Touch: Optional light toasting will enhance exterior crispness and amplify the muffin’s rich, nutty flavor profile.
Notes
- Choose the Right Ramekin: Select a microwave-safe container around 4 inches wide with a flat bottom to ensure even cooking and perfect muffin shape.
- Prevent Dry Spots: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to eliminate flour pockets, creating a smooth, consistent batter that guarantees a uniform texture.
- Watch Cooking Time Carefully: Monitor microwave or oven cooking closely to avoid overcooking, which can result in a dry, tough muffin.
- Enhance Flavor with Toasting: Lightly toast the muffin after cooling to add crispness and bring out deeper, nuttier flavor notes.
