Blueberry Bombe for Breakfast - cooked in a Cup - in 60 seconds!


It’s a Muffin - in a Cup - in 60 seconds!

 Gluten+Grain+Dairy+Sugar Free and Low Carb, of course!




You gotta make this…it’s a no-grainer!



Here is another itty bitty cake made for two, in the microwave, in just 60 seconds. I did not cut this one in half and share it, but if I were making this for a tea time snack, I might have shown more restraint and portioned it in two.


This recipe is an easy adaptation of my NUTTY CHOC-CHIP CAPPUCINO MUFFIN except this time I wanted to use up some left over blueberries. So I kept the nuts and added the blueberries and some lemon zest. So refreshing and very moist - just what a girl needs with her morning tea. I mean, how awesome that I get to have cake for breakfast, and call it healthy? [Blueberries make it healthy, don’t they? And almonds? Of course!] Best of all its super filling, and without the sugar rush-crash-craziness.




You can choose your own nut combination, I love nuts so I add a lot, mixed and raw in this recipe. 


The cream I sploshed on top is dairy free Orley Whip which has zero carbs or sugars added, and it’s much easier on my tummy. Some Greek Yoghurt would also be really good, or you could use whipped coconut cream (heavenly, by the way) or regular cream from the cow. Whip it up with vanilla, sweeten with a little Stevia, or leave it plain... In fact, this muffin is so super moist, it really doesn't need much adornment at all.

  
Lets get cracking, it only takes a minute!




INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Tbsp Butter or Coconut Oil
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract (use the good stuff, or leave it out)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 Tbsp of Almond Meal (or Walnut Meal - delish)
  • 1 Tbsp of Flax Meal (flax seeds ground in coffee grinder)
  • 1 tsp Coconut Flour
  • Scant pinch of Salt (I use ground Himalayan)
  • 1 - 2 Tbsp sugar replacement (I use Xylitol) to taste
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder (make your own Aluminium-Free baking powder HERE)
  • ¼ cup Blueberries
  • ¼ cup Nuts of your choice, roughly chopped (I used Pecan today)
  • Zest of an unwaxed lemon
  • Whipped cream or Greek yoghurt, to serve (I used Orley Whip sweetened with stevia drops), Optional.



METHOD

Melt your Butter or Coconut Oil in your mug in the microwave for 20 or so seconds. Swirl it around the cup to help prevent sticking.


Add all the wet ingredients and mix well with a fork.

Add all the dry ingredients and mix well (make sure the baking powder is evenly sprinkled and distributed).


Lastly, gently stir in the zest, blueberries and nuts. 
Microwave on full power for one minute. Check if cooked. Add another ten seconds if necessary. Do not over cook, as it will continue to cook/set when resting.


Allow to stand for a minute then remove from the mug before adding your dollop of cream or Greek yoghurt and some sprinkled blueberries on top for pretty presentation… OR, dollop cream straight into your mug and devour without sharing!



[If you don’t have a microwave, scoop into two ramekins and bake at 180 degrees C for about 18 - 22 minutes]

That's it. Now go. Bake.

Much love and gratitude and happy nibblingxox

Home Made BAKING POWDER: Aluminum/Starch/Gluten/Grain/GMO Free.

Home Made Baking Powder Aluminum Free. Starch Free. GMO Free. Gluten Free. Today you get to play like a chemist and ‘make’ your own stash of home made BAKING POWDER! Ta daa… What is it, really? Baking powder is a leavening (raising) agent used in most baked goods. It lightens the texture and increases the volume in our cakes, muffins and even bread by releasing carbon dioxide bubbles into the wet batter. Its all very science, chemistry wot-not… yet totally necessary if you want your cupcakes light and fluffy. Why make your own? Why, you ask? Well here’s what in the shop-bought stuff… Commercially produced baking powder contains aluminum, yes #gaspshockhorror, Sodium Aluminum Sulfate or Sodium Aluminum Phosphate. This stuff has b een linked with the development of Alzheimer’s Disease and has no place being in my bon bons. It can also leave a slight metallic aftertaste in cakes with a delicate flavour (how lovely?). It can also contain gene...

My Little Oaty Crumpets - wheat free, dairy free

I’ve decided to share another Easy Peasy Child Friendly recipe today seeing as we are still in the thick of school holidays and we have a bit more time in the mornings to enjoy our breakfasts. However, this recipe is so quick and easy, and uses everyday pantry ingredients, that I have been known to whip these up on a school morning in no time, or even as an afternoon snack to cheer up my Little Buttercup after a hard day at playschool. (Confession time: I’ve even devoured these for supper one night on a slightly hormonal evening not too long ago - husband traveling, kids driving me mad, you understand, right?). And yet I feel rather virtuous when I serve these (yes even for supper) because they really are healthy - no jokes!  It’s all fibre and hardly any sugar at all, in fact you can omit the sugar altogether, if you are so inclined. And, (now we are   really   on a roll) you could even add some protein by topping with a sprinkle of flaked alm...

Yes, I put butter (and EGG) in my coffee... Milk is SO last season!

  Hot Buttery Egg Coffee Gasp! Horror! Now just let it sink in…and stop pulling that face…I know it sounds weird and even ‘eeeuuww’ but trust me, if you like custard, ice-cream, eggnog etc then you can like my Hot Buttery Egg Coffee - it’s the same principal. The egg is 'cooked' in the boiling water. And the fat from the egg and butter (you could add coconut oil as well, or instead of) satiates you for hours. I’ve even gone as far as putting in two eggs when I know I’m only getting to eat again by late afternoon. You can also add cream or milk if you can tolerate it but, really, it doesn’t need it. The egg and butter emulsify so beautifully you have a creamy latte in a matter of seconds. In fact, I wont drink coffee now any other way! It first caught my eye on this super blog here  and then I really sat up and took notice after reading about it here  aswell. It’s actually not that unheard of in the sugar free world (also known as Low Carb) that I'...
