Made keto mug bread into a Keto bun & keto bagel, included modified recipes.

I don't eat keto diet but my boyfriend does so I try to find something that he can eat and also that I can eat.

I found the recipe for keto mug bread for his I make it with one whole large egg and for me I substitute 1/4 cup egg whites and add 30 seconds more microwave time.

With the egg whites it made it more fluffier and gave it a texture closer to a bagel.

And then I said to myself what if I use a glass storage containerl that doesn't slope like in the third picture and make it into a burger bun or panini like bun.

It worked perfect!

I used a 1000 watt microwave so adjust your time accordingly!

One image is with whole eggs and the other image is with egg whites and seasoned with everything bagel seasoning.

Original keto mug bread recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 large room temperature egg
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

Preparation:

1. Melt butter and coat the side of an 11 oz coffee mug with the butter.
2. Blend in the egg with a fork and once mixed add the almond flour salt and baking powder.
3. Whisk with a fork until well mixed.
4. Microwave on full power for 90 seconds.
5. let set for 2 minutes.
6. (Optional) slice and toast.

I didn't like the texture so this is how I did it.

My version of mug bread with whole egg

• 1 tbsp salted butter
• 1 large room temperature egg
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Seasonings to taste

1. Melt butter in an 11 oz coffee mug.
2. Coat the sides of the coffee mug with the butter.
3. Whisk in the egg in a small mixing bowl then in the melted butter continue with skin until thoroughly mixed.
4. Whisk in the almond flour then whisk in the baking powder.
5. Pour into the coffee mug.
6. let it rest for a couple of minutes, I find that it makes it more fluffy.
7. Microwave for 90 seconds.
8. slice and toast.

Egg white variation

Prepare the same way but use the following changes:

1. Use room temperature egg whites.

2. Instead of one large egg, use 1/4 cup egg whites.

3. Microwave it for 2 minutes instead of 90 seconds, check it after 2 minutes if it needs to go longer microwave it for a little more.

Notes:

Does okay with egg substitute.

Does okay with avocado oil instead of butter.

Bun / bagel version

Basically we're doubling all of the ingredients with a little bit change in preparation.

You want to use a container that does not have a sloping side so you can cut it like a bun or bagel (see images).

With whole egg

• 2 tbsp salted butter
• 2 large room temperature eggs
• 2/3 cup almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Seasoning to taste

1. Melt the butter.
2. Whisk eggs in a small mixing bowl.
3. Coat the sides of the microwave container that you will make the bun in with the butter and pour the rest into the mixing bowl with the eggs.
4. Continue whisking together until we'll mixed.
5. Whisk in almond flour and baking powder.
6. Pour into the microwaving container and let set for a few minutes.
7. Microwave for 2 minutes. If it's still not done microwave on 30 second intervals.
8. Let set for 2 minutes.
9. Slice and toast.

Egg white variation

Use room temperature egg whites.

Use 1/2 cup egg whites instead of two large eggs.

Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. After 2 and a half minutes if it's still not done microwave further using 30 second intervals.

Notes:

Don't use too wide of a container when microwaving, if you're going to do a burger bun you want a container roughly the size of your burger the same goes if you're going to replicate panini bread or a bagel.

Too wide of a container and you'll end up with something closer to a pancake that will be impossible to slice and will fall apart.

When doing a double batch like this keep an eye out it might bow out in the middle while microwaving.

Doing the double batch with egg whites and then slicing it before toasting gives it a very close texture to that of a bagel. Using additional everything bagel seasoning with cream cheese after toasting gives you a very bagel-like experience.
