Moist, nutty, grainy & subtly sweet with a flavor profile similar to the Americanized version of Pumpernickel. Optionally add caraway seeds if you like -- I like them in it.

Yield: 2 slices (1 muffin)
Nutritional Information (per slice):
6.2g total carbs, 4.9g fiber, 1.3g net carbs, 6g protein, 13g fat, 146 calories
Loaded with Omega 3 fatty acids.

This recipe is an adaptation of AnnieP's version of One Minute Muffin.
(Thank you Annie and original creator of the One Minute Muffin.)

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp butter, melted
1 egg
2 tbsp flax seed meal -- I use freshly ground from spice grinder
1/2 tbsp coconut flour
salt to taste (a dash or two)
1⁄2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder (e.g. Hershey's)
1/4 tsp instant coffee crystals
5 drops of liquid stevia
caraway seeds to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1) combine melted butter and egg in microwave safe ramekin
2) mix in one ingredient at a time, scraping sides
3) microwave for 1 minute (on high)
4) remove the muffin from ramekin and let cool a bit on a rack
5) slice in half along the horizontal
6) let cool on rack for a minute or two

Enjoy! Let me know what you think! To me it tastes virtually identical to the dark colored, moist, nutty, grainy, lightly sweet bread. I also love the caraway seeds in it! It was so heavenly, with absolutely no hint of egg taste. This is my new favorite for now. (I didn't toast mine.)

This was my first try at this, and I got lucky with the results. I might tweak this recipe here and there in the future -- feel free to comment on how I could improve it further. If I later modify this recipe, I'll post a reply to this thread with the changes.

well that is really few carbs for such a big roll

isn´t there any rye in at all ?


all carbs count equally to sugar .. if one has diabetes

but well looks very delicious

I´ll try to bake them too... I have really looked for good recipes with coconut flour

No rye in it. But it tastes much like a dark rye / pumpernickel hybrid :). I like the caraway seed in it, especially for sandwiches.

I hear people say insoluble fiber doesn't affect blood glucose, I hear others day that fiber carbs count. I dunno. I eat about 35g total carbs per day and 25g net carbs. 10g fiber.
