Serves: 1 muffin
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tbsp chopped almonds
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp honey, 1 egg, 1 tbsp almond milk, and 1 tbsp chopped almonds.
- In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, and almond milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a uniform batter, making sure there are no dry spots.
- Fold in the chopped almonds for added texture and flavor.
- Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute. Keep an eye on it, as microwave times may vary. The muffin should rise and be set in the center when done.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!). Allow the muffin to cool for a minute before enjoying.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle a little extra honey on top or sprinkle some more chopped almonds before serving.
Tips
- Use a microwave-safe mug with high sides to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the most consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - stop stirring as soon as ingredients are combined to keep the muffin tender.
- Microwave power varies, so start with 45-50 seconds and add more time if needed.
- Let the muffin rest for a minute after cooking to allow the center to set completely.
- For extra moisture, you can add a small dollop of Greek yogurt to the batter.
- Experiment with different nut flours or add a pinch of vanilla extract for variation.
