How did the almond flour making turn out? Are you ready to make a healthy, low-carb, gluten-free, bread/bun/muffin that tastes wonderful and doesn't send your blood sugar to the moon and back? Then let me present to you the One Minute Muffin.
I did not invent this recipe. It has been passed around over and over again on the Low Carb Friends message board. There are many variations, tips & tricks that have been shared over the years. I did a quick search on the board and came up with this. You can make this savory or sweet, add cinnamon, cocoa powder, non-caloric sweetener, add herbs & spices. The possibilities are endless.
My basic recipe is a starting point for a simple and savory gluten-free, low-carb bread replacement. Split it in half and you've got a bun for your burger. Toast it and you won't miss your high-carb English muffin. Stuff it with some turkey, macadamia mayo and lettuce and you've got a healthy sandwich. The possibilities are up to your imagination.

Recipe Notes
For those of you who don't have a microwave or limit microwave use, this can be baked in the oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes. You'll have to rename the recipe though (wink, wink). While I use homemade almond flour in this recipe, it will still work with store bought brands. Check out the Shop for My Favorites page for brands I have used in my kitchen with much success.
One Minute Muffins Variations
Keeping your pantry (I mean your refrigerator, as almond flour should be stored there) stocked with almond flour opens a new door into the world of low-carb, gluten-free, sugar-free baking. Just about any recipe that contains processed white/wheat flour can be healthified with a little creativity.
