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.

LCHF - Chicken Schnitzel

We've recently started following the Low Carb High Fat Lifestyle.
I am constantly looking for ideas and recipes in order to keep the lifestyle exciting. I my quest I joined a number of Facebook pages and groups where I get a lot of ideas.
I recently stumbled across this Coconut covered Chicken Schnitzel.
It takes the same amount of time as a normal chicken schnitzel to prepare and I used the same method I used to use for normal high carb schnitzels.

Ingredients:
4 deboned chicken breasts
200 ml coconut flour
100 ml flaxseed power
2 eggs
30 ml milk or cream
100 g fine desiccated coconut

4 Deboned chicken breasts.

Flaxseed Powder

                       

                               Fine Desiccated Coconut

Coconut Flour

2 Eggs and 30 ml of milk

Instructions:
Butterfly the chicken breasts.

Slice down in the centre of the chicken breast.

Turn knife sideways and slice through the breast untill you reach the edge of the breast, taking care to not slice through. Keep the edge intact and open the breast on that fold. 

Pound the chicken with a mallet until the required thickness is reached.

Lay breast flat and prepare all breasts for crumbing.

Mix the coconut flour and flaxseed powder together.

Beat together the eggs and milk.

Cover the chicken breast with the flour mixture.

Dip the floured chicken breast in the beaten egg. Ensuring that it is well covered with egg.

Cover the chicken breast with desiccated coconut. Set aside.

Heat up a pan and add coconut oil to the pan.

Fry and turn often in order to brown evenly.

Fry until golden brown. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.

You can serve your chicken schnitzel with a mushroom sauce, if you prefer that. I made a cheese sauce with cream and melted cheese and topped my schnitzel with a slice of bacon.
