This single bread bun is just 4 ingredients and cooks in less than 2 minutes in the microwave. It’s a delicious paleo, low carb, gluten free and grain free alternative for bread or English muffins.
After sharing my Low Carb English Muffins recipe, I wanted to make a quick and easy microwave version. This bread couldn’t be easier and it comes out incredibly light and fluffy. I am definitely making this version from now on when I need just one or two muffins.
You can eat it right after it’s done cooking in the microwave, but I prefer slicing it in half and toasting both sides, which gives it an even better texture and taste.
It’s an easy solution for a breakfast, lunch or snack. I like spreading almond or cashew butter on top; my husband prefers butter. Sometimes we add jam for a little treat.
Cooking Tips
- Do not directly substitute coconut flour with almond flour as the two are not the same. Coconut flour can be purchased in most major grocery stores and on Amazon. I usually buy mine from Sprouts or Amazon*.
- I made these using 3.5 inch wide ramekins, which I think is the ideal size for these muffins. If you use different size ramekins, your cooking time will vary.
- If you plan on making more than one, cook them in the microwave one at a time. Cooking multiple ones at the same time leads to uneven cooking.
- These muffins should be cooked in the microwave as soon as the batter is ready. If you let the batter sit, the coconut flour will continue to absorb all the liquid from your batter.
- Toast these in a toaster oven (not a pop-up toaster) or on a warm pan over the stove. I prefer the stove method as you have more control over how much the bread is toasted. I press the bread slices gently down into the warmed pan until toasted and then flip and repeat on the other side as well.
- These muffins can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
