A little while ago a lady from Lusaka Africa? (I think) placed a recipe for a bread recipe, and one of the ingredients was Sesame seeds. It was 'baked' using a microwave, in a mug and enough for two slices.

Now that I have some sesame seeds to make this, I have lost this on my iPad!

I've used the search box, plus trawled through the site, but unable to find it.

Can anyone help?
 
I bake microwave muffins using sesame flour or combination of this plus milled flaxseed.

For a basic recipe I use 200g of the flour (or mix), approx 75g softened butter, 3 eggs, teaspoon of baking powder, seasoning to taste, and cook in 7 or 8 large muffin cases for about 3 mins (till done) on medium in my microwave. This makes enough for a week and they keep well in a container in the fridge. You can also add various other ingredients (seeds, cheese, nuts, etc) to suit.

I also sometimes make an oven baked loaf using a variation of this but with more eggs. You should find other bread and muffin recipes in our Low Carb area of the forum, and can substitute sesame flour in recipes that call for almond flour or ground almonds.

"Sesame toasties

The owner of this blog usually doesnt do bread replacements, but these sesame toasties are so delicious she made them a second time.
Sesame toasties are made with sesame seeds instead of flaxseeds.
Mix togeter approx. 50 g (+ 4g carbs/100 g) of sesame seeds, freshly ground, with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 eggs and seasoned with some sea salt.
Then 2 minutes on full power in the microwave, and then cool on a wire rack.

These are ideal for breakfast spread with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon'sugar' (mix cinnamon with sweetener), the owner of this blog had hers topped with roast beef, onion and pwpper strips, seasoned with salt and pepper."

@Robbity
Very many thanks for your recipe. Will definitely try out this weekend.
I have a silicon base with six holes, though cannot remember if I used it for fairy cakes or muffins!
The 'holes' look tiny and it's been over ten years since I used it.

Do you use paper cases for the muffins, as I do have stacks of them, but have been unsuccessful with
Low carb recipes, inasmuch as the food sticks and breaks up and never resembles muffins!

Also, is the three minutes in microwave for just one muffin, or whole recipe?
 
I have some re-usable silicone muffin cases that i got from Amazon - and they're either 7cm or 9cm size - I think I may actually have some of both! They tend to be fairly good at not sticking but can sometimes leave a little residue behind.

Timing is for my whole batch but this will depend on the power of your microwave, and what's in the actual mix. I just poke in the middle with a cocktail stick and if it doesn't come out clean then I give them extra 30 second blasts until it does. I'm a slightly haphazard cook and go by results rather than absolute accuracy.

I find if I'm baking with an eggy recipe I'm fine but shortbread can sometimes be a crumbly issue, however you can get things like xanthan gum or Sukrin Fibrefine/Fiberfin which will help bind the mix; it's a bit expensive but you don't need very much.

PS I won't bake with coconut flour as for me that's a mysterious law unto itself and I've rarely had acceptable results! :banghead::banghead:
