What you’ll need:

1 tablespoon coconut flour

1 tablespoon tapioca flour

1 tablespoon oat flour

TIP: OR swap out the tapioca and oat flours for 2 tablespoons of almond flour. The resulting muffin isn’t as fluffy but the taste and texture are divine!

pinch of xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon oil (We use canola but something like coconut would also work.)

Optional: Fruit and other goodies of your choice: 5 or 6 frozen raspberries, a few chocolate chips, bit of shredded carrot and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg, mashed banana and a few nuts. The only limit is your imagination.

TIP: To make a chocolate muffin replace the oat flour or a tablespoon of the almond flour – depending on which flour mix you are using – with a tablespoon of cocoa powder. You may also want to add a touch more sugar. Bake for 75 seconds.

What you’ll do:

Lightly grease a mug or cup with cooking spray and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl (we use a 2 cup measuring cup), blend together the first 6 ingredients well. Add the wet indredients and mix very well. A hand blender or mixer works well for this.

Pour into the greased cup and microwave on high for 90 seconds ( add 15 – 30 more seconds if needed). When you take your muffin out of the cup, it will look like this:

  2. Your muffins look great. I’ve never been able to get a microwave muffin recipe to work in my microwave(s). I always give up and just throw it in the convection oven.

    • Thanks rural route lupiac. No, you’re not missing the button; I removed it. It was really slowing down the site for some reason.
