Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large Egg (or 1½ egg whites)
- 1 tablespoon (14g) Unsalted Butter (or ghee/coconut oil for dairy-free)
Flour Base:
- 3 tablespoons (21g) Blanched Almond Flour
- ½ tablespoon (3.5g) Coconut Flour
Seasonings and Leavening:
- ½ teaspoon (2g) Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the ramekin by selecting a microwave-safe container approximately 4 inches (10 centimeters) wide with a flat bottom for optimal baking results.
- Gently liquefy the butter using either a microwave (approximately 30 seconds) or in the preheating oven, ensuring complete melting without scorching.
- Incorporate almond flour, coconut flour, whole egg, fine sea salt, and aluminum-free baking powder directly into the melted butter within the ramekin.
- Thoroughly blend all ingredients using a small whisk or fork until a uniform, smooth batter emerges with no dry flour pockets visible.
- Allow the mixture to rest momentarily, approximately 60 seconds, enabling the flours to absorb moisture and slightly thicken the consistency.
- For microwave preparation, heat the mixture on high power for roughly 90 seconds, watching carefully to prevent over-cooking and ensure a firm, springy texture.
- Alternatively, for conventional oven method, preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) and bake for approximately 15 minutes until the surface appears golden and resilient when gently pressed.
- Once cooked, carefully extract the ramekin and let the bread cool for 1-2 minutes to stabilize its structure.
- Delicately loosen the bread’s edges using a thin knife, then invert onto a serving plate in one smooth motion.
- For enhanced flavor and texture, consider lightly toasting the bread before serving, which will crisp the exterior and intensify its nutty undertones.
Notes
- Slicing strategy matters: Cut the muffin horizontally with a serrated knife for clean, even edges that toast perfectly.
- Moisture magic happens during resting: Allowing batter to sit lets almond and coconut flours fully hydrate, creating a lighter, more tender texture.
- Microwave precision is key: Different wattages impact cooking time, so start with recommended duration and adjust for your specific appliance’s power.
- Toasting transforms texture: A quick pass in a skillet or toaster oven creates crispy golden edges that mimic traditional English muffin characteristics.
- Dairy-free flexibility works wonders: Coconut oil or ghee seamlessly replace butter, maintaining rich flavor while accommodating dietary preferences.
