Five-Minute Gluten-Free French Toast in a Mug
It’s been awhile since I made my five-minute chocolate-chip pumpkin muffin in a mug recipe, but the other day, I had a big ol’ hankering for French toast and thought to myself, I wonder if I could mugify* those flavors, too …
(*Mugify: a verb, meaning to take a normal dish and cook it entirely in a mug in the microwave. And yes, we do like to invent food words around here.)
After a few attempts, turns out you can!
Using almond flour as a gluten-free base and amping up plenty of the French toast flavor with egg, cinnamon and vanilla — and topped with a small drizzle of real maple syrup — this French toast in a mug recipe may not be quite as good as sitting down with a big ol’ stack of French toast, but it’s certainly healthier, quicker and easier to make, and is delicious enough to satisfy a craving. Plus, with two eggs in it, it’s got enough protein in it that it’ll actually keep you full — and not have you crashing 15 minutes later like normal French toast does. Enjoy!
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- Drizzle of maple syrup
- Combine almond flour, baking powder and cinnamon until well mixed.
- Add vanilla and egg. Mix until smooth.
- Microwave for two minutes. Unless you like your French toast extra gooey, then go for 1 minute 30 seconds. Want it extra firm and more muffin-like? Go for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
- Drizzle with maple syrup to get the desired sweetness you want! Eat and be merry.
What’s the next muffin in a mug flavor that we should try to make, y’all? Lemon? Chocolate? We already did poppyseed … —Jenn
