How to make keto mug bread without an eggy taste

Keto mug bread is a quick and easy option for those who want to eat nutritious food for an easy keto breakfast. It is also a great option for those who miss bread on the keto diet.

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 tbsp almond flour (or coconut flour)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp butter or oil

Optional extras:

• Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• Flaxseed meal
• Spices or fresh herbs

Method:

Microwave butter or oil in a microwave-safe mug until melted. Swirl the mug to coat with butter or oil.

Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt to the mug; whisk until smooth. You can also add in cheese and flaxseed meal at this stage.

Microwave on high for 70-90 seconds. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before removing from the mug and slicing.

To avoid an eggy taste, you can try using just the egg white, or one and a half egg whites, instead of a whole egg. You can also try adding stronger-flavoured ingredients such as cheese, herbs, or spices to mask the egg taste.

The keto mug bread is now ready to eat. You can eat it as it is, or toast it for extra flavour. It is also suitable for toasting and eating as a sandwich, with sweet or savoury toppings, or as a side.

Tips:

• Use a wide mug to ensure the bread cooks all the way through.
• Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave and the dish you use. Watch closely so the bread does not burn.
• If you don't have a microwave, you can bake the mixture in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
• If you want to make a larger serving, the cooking time will increase. A standard mug bread will take between 70-80 seconds, while a double batch may take closer to two minutes in the microwave.

How to make keto mug bread with coconut flour

Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or melted butter or coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• Pinch of salt (skip if your butter is salted)

Method:

• Add the oil to a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin and swirl around to coat.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
• Tap on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles and microwave for 60-90 seconds.
• You can also bake in an oven-safe container for 10 minutes at 375F.
• Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the ramekin and slice into two pieces.
• You can now toast your keto mug bread in a toaster or skillet if desired.
• Top with your favourite toppings and enjoy!

Tips:

• To make this less eggy tasting, use just an egg white as the egg yolk is where the eggy taste comes from.
• Tap the container on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles before you cook it.
• You can use any nut flour—if you are allergic to almonds or coconut, use the same amount (1 1/3 tablespoon) as coconut flour.
• A 4x4 microwave-safe container makes the perfect size bread that can be cut in half and used as a sandwich.
• You could also use a round container that is 4 inches in diameter for a keto mug bread.
