INSTANT, fresh, gluten-free and delicious.

MAKES 4 SMALL ROUND SLICES (100 CALORIES PER SLICE)

2 tsp coconut oil 1 large egg 2 tbsp ground almonds or ground walnuts 3 tbsp ground flaxseeds ½ tsp baking powder Generous pinch of salt MICROWAVE the coconut oil in a mug with straight sides for 20-30 seconds on high, then use the oil to grease the sides of the mug. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the egg, 2 tsp water, the nuts, ground flaxseeds, baking powder and salt. Pour the mixture into the mug. Stir the mixture with a fork to incorporat­e the coconut oil, making sure the top is level. Microwave for 1 minute on high. If the bread still appears very moist, microwave it for another 10-20 seconds or so. However, make sure that you avoid overcookin­g as this will make the texture very rubbery. Tip the bread out of the cup — it may need loosening with a knife. If it is still runny at the bottom, put it back in the cup and microwave it on high for a further 10-20 seconds. Allow it to cool for a few minutes on its side, then cut it into slices.
