So what do you do when you are craving a sandwich, but you have sworn off bread? Well, nowadays there are many options open to you. Enter your friends almond flour and coconut flour. Both are low-carb (speaking in net carbs here) and gluten free. With all of my perusing of the web and various blogs, I have come up with my own recipe for sandwich bread which I am quite happy with. Until I can get a Magic Line Loaf Pan, I will continue to use this recipe. There are many variations of it on the Low Carb Friends site. I just picked one and tweaked it a little bit. You can make it sweet or savory, depending on what you add to it. I was craving tuna for some reason, so I got my can of Tonno in olive oil and added some homemade Mason Jar Mayonnaise to it. The results were very satisfying!
Sandwich "Muffin"
Makes 1
¼ c. Almond Flour
1 Tbsp. Chia Seeds (you can also use flax seed meal)
½ tsp. Baking Powder
Pinch of Celtic Sea Salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 Egg
½ Tbsp. Butter, Melted
In a small bowl mix dry ingredients and set aside. In another small bowl whisk together egg and melted butter. I like to melt the butter in the ramekin dish you bake it in. Add the wet to the dry and mix well. Spoon mixture into 6 oz. ramekin and microwave for 50 seconds to 1 minute. (Mine was perfect at 1 minute).
