Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 muffin
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- Pour in the milk and olive oil, then mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and has no dry flour patches.
- Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug or small ramekin with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared mug, ensuring it fills only about halfway to allow room for rising.
- Microwave the batter on high power for approximately 60-75 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
- Check the muffin's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean.
- Let the muffin cool in the mug for 1-2 minutes to set its structure.
- Carefully remove the muffin from the mug by running a knife around the edges and gently turning it out onto a plate.
- Split the muffin horizontally with a fork or knife, creating the classic English muffin nooks and crannies.
- Toast the split muffin halves until golden brown and serve warm with butter, jam, or your preferred topping.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Ensure you measure your ingredients precisely, especially the gluten-free flour, as this can affect the texture of your muffin.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add in extras like cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even a handful of your favorite nuts or seeds to customize your muffin.
- Microwave Power: Keep an eye on your muffin while it cooks, as microwaves can vary in power. Start with 60 seconds and add more time in small increments if needed.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the muffin to cool for a minute or two in the mug to help it set properly before removing it.
- Toast for Extra Crunch: For that classic English muffin experience, toast the split halves until golden brown for a delightful crunch and enhanced flavor.
- Perfect Pairings: Try topping your muffin with avocado, cream cheese, or a poached egg for a satisfying meal any time of day!
