Dairy free Keto herbs and cheese mug bread

Keto dairy free cheesy herb mug bread is a delicious and filling low carb snack.  Its hard doing dairy free keto sometimes but sometimes I really enjoy the challenge of making something out of what I have in my cupboards and making it work for my dietary needs. This is how my dairy free keto herbs and cheese mug bread was created. I wanted to make a mug cake but I wanted to make it savory.There…

I cannot for the life of me remember where I got the original recipe for this, but I guess it doesn't really matter since I ended up modifying it anyway

so:

1/3 cup almond flour

1 tablespoon coconut flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg OR 1 flaxseed egg

AT LEAST 1/2 tablespoon oil

herbs of choice (optional)

and then microwave in a mug for 90 seconds

you should also probably let it sit in there for a minute

when it's done, it should look kind of like a muffin with no curves. I find that the best way to cut it is to turn it on its side and make inch-wide slices. if you use a normal egg as opposed to a flax one, it's gonna be bigger, so you'd get three slices instead of two. also, the flax one is softer and slightly more fragile

it's pretty filling either way

I'm a fan of James Morton, and of his mug bread recipe. It's a good alternative to my tried-and-true Jim Lahey recipe, which is dead easy in terms of effort but a drag in terms of time taken. Also a drag in terms of how sticky that dough gets. You all don't even want to know the dreams I've had about that dough. Sentient alien Jabba-the-Hutt dreams. Still, the ferment means the flavor can't be beat.

Anyway: Mug Bread. It tends to make a rather stout, small, crusty loaf. My last attempt was good for pairing with sharp cheese and pretending to be a beautiful medieval peasant lady. Not so good for making a sandwich with. In Morton's defense, last time I used only strong wholewheat flour because I was trying to use up a bag I'd ill-advisedly bought. Apparently that's not really how you make brown bread? Therefore: we try again.
