Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 1 muffin
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 cup blueberries, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the almond flour and baking powder. Mix well until they are fully incorporated.
- Crack the egg into the mug and add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture together using a fork until it is smooth and well blended.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute. Check the muffin for doneness; it should be firm to the touch. If it is not fully cooked, microwave in additional 10-second intervals until done.
- Allow the muffin to cool for a minute before enjoying it directly from the mug or transferring it to a plate.
Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh blueberries. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
- Microwave Wattage: Microwaves vary in power, so keep an eye on your muffin as it cooks. Start with 1 minute, then check for doneness and adjust cooking time as needed.
- Customize Your Muffin: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, such as chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon, to give your muffin a personal touch.
- Mug Size Matters: Choose a mug that’s large enough to allow the muffin to rise without overflowing. A standard coffee mug works well!
- Let It Cool: Allow the muffin to cool for a minute before digging in. This helps set the texture and makes it easier to enjoy directly from the mug or on a plate.
