Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated erythritol or stevia (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon blueberries or sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or ramekin, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, granulated erythritol, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the egg, unsweetened almond milk, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
If desired, fold in blueberries or sugar-free chocolate chips for added flavor.
Microwave the mixture on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. The muffin should rise and be firm to the touch in the center when done.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot) and let the muffin cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying.
Optional: Remove the muffin from the mug and plate to serve, or enjoy it directly from the mug.
