LCHF - Bread in a cup


The Bread in a mug is one of the most versatile recipes I came across when I started following the LCHF lifestyle. You can use it for a number of dishes.

I am a member of the Facebook Group Banting 7 Day Meal Plans and got this recipe on the group.

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Almond Flour
1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour
1/2 a teaspoon of Baking Powder
1 Egg
2 and 1/2 Teaspoons of Olive Oil or Melted Butter
2 Tablespoons of water

Mix the egg well, ad the other ingredients and pour in a well greased mug.
Microwave on high for 1 minute.

I find that one must take the bread out of the mug as soon as you take it out of the microwave as it does sweat if you leaf it to cool in the mug.

I've used my bread in a mug for a number of different options. Three weeks after starting the lifestyle I really needed to have some bread, that was when I was added to the group by a friend and it was the first recipe I tried.

One of the admin ladies on the group said that she made the bread and crumbled it and used it as "krummelpap".

I tried the recipe the other weekend with kaiings and tomato and onion. It was divine.

Bake your bread in a mug and allow to cool for a minute or two. Crumble and serve.

The"kaiings" was made by using lamb fat which I've cut into cubes and fried. I kept the fat aside and is using it to fry my eggs and whatever I need to fry. I made the tomato and onions by frying tomatoes and onions together and added a tablespoon of xylitol for sweetness.



Today I made a chicken curry and used the bread in a mug as a bunny chow(also a suggestion by the group admin).


I also baked the bread in a mug in a square container to give it more of a bread like appearance and made nice sandwiches with it.



If you are looking for versatile and quick LCHF bread in a mug is your answer.






Turn your can'ts into cans, and your dreams into plans.

  1. This looks very nice...and easy to make, but I'm allergic to almonds. Is there something else I can substitute for the almond flour?

  2. Hi Riana

    I've used flaxseed powder(linseed powder) with great success. You will then have a brown bread. The flaxseed powder gives it a very nice nutty taste.

    I do not know what substitute to use to give you a white bread.

    I will soon post a recipe for Zucchini bread.

    Have a great day.
