This easy, healthy, low carb breakfast pudding can be made with any berries or other addtions as listed. Make it in the microwave in under 5 minutes. For a larger serving, increase the almond meal up to 1/2 cup, add 1 Tablespoon water, and cook a bit longer.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup almond meal
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup blueberries - frozen or otherwise
  • Sweetener and flavoring to taste - see list below

Preparation:

Mix almond meal, egg, and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds. Move the cooked part of the pudding towards the center of the bowl and add blueberries and/or any mix-ins you want. Microwave for about 45-60 more seconds, depending on mix-ins (frozen fruit will need even longer cooking, as it will cool down the pudding). Stir and eat.

Possible Additions: Nutritional Information: Each serving (with blueberries) has 6 grams effective carbohydrate plus 5 grams fiber, 13 grams protein, and 273 calories.

Hmm.., Guest cwelsea

I am not sure if it is just me, but I thought this was so nasty I could not finish. I still gave it two stars because I am on my second day of low carb so maybe I am just not used to all the bland tastes. I was nervous just to start making this because of the fact that egg is microwaved. I was afraid it would not get cooked all the way. But it was gross. I probably got my hopes up with all these awesome reviews saying it tasted like a blueberry muffin, but please. Don't say it tastes like a muffin unless it actually does.
