Every day we are more aware that the consumption of refined sugars is harmful to our health, the products consumed for breakfast are usually not very nutritious and have large amounts of sugar in their composition, but there are still many people who don’t how to avoid it.

Sometimes can be hard to plan a menu that suits your real needs.

Avoiding sugary cereals, white bread, and industrial pastries in general is beneficial for everyone, both children and adults.

Therefore, I encourage you to break the mold and try easy and simple recipes that will improve your health and that of your loved ones.

The sugar-free almond sponge cake can be made in a bowl or a cup in the microwave.

In this blog you will find different recipes focused on helping you prepare healthy and satisfying breakfasts (the more hours we can go without snacking, the better).

Remember that the recommendations of eating 5 times a day are no longer valid.

Latest research in this matter indicates that it is much healthier to eat when you are hungry and not eat so often out of obligation.

During my work as a dietitian I have seen many people who eat very often during the day, without being really hungry, so choosing satiating options will help you reduce unnecessary snacking.

That’s why I want to explain how you can prepare this microwave sugar-free almond sponge cake  in a simple, easy way and with few ingredients.

You will improve your breakfasts, but it can also complement your lunches, snacks or dinners.

Prepare this microwave sugar-free almond and coconut cake in less than 10 minutes, and remember that it is gluten-free and suitable for diabetics

 

It is true that in my Mediterranean culture (I’m Spanish) bread is an almost essential element on the table, white wheat bread is the most consumed and unfortunately not the best quality, sometimes because we do not have a traditional oven near home and other times because we do not have time and in a hurry we end up buying bread at the supermarket.

This type of bread contains fats and other undesirable ingredients that are not typical in traditional bread recipes.

I recommend that if you are going to eat bread, you buy it from a bakery that ensures it only contains flour, yeast, salt, and water, sourdough bread is a good option.

If you can’t afford it, buy it when you can, but make sure it’s good and freeze it.

For those days when you don’t have your bread on hand, prepare this recipe or one of the ones I suggest on the blog. You might change your mind!

Have breakfast with this sugar-free almond and coconut sponge cake and hold out until the next meal without going hungry

 

Although most of the population eats bread (usually wheat and increasingly other cereals), there are many people who for various reasons try to avoid it.

You have several alternatives, for example we can cook flourless and sugar-free cakes or cookies, giving them touches of different flavor, adding dried fruits, pieces of dark chocolate or vanilla and cinnamon flavoring if we want sweet flavors.

Add some nuts and seeds if we you interested in a salty touch.

We can also prepare some flourless pancakes, with almond meal, ground flaxseeds or coconut flour, if we add banana they will be sweeter.

There are many alternatives, in this blog I will give you ideas that will change your day to day.

I am going to show you how to make a sugar-free almond and coconut sponge cake in the microwave that has a fairly neutral flavor.

It can be combined with sweet or savory ingredients and will be ready in less than 10 minutes.

Making this sponge cake is easy, you only need 4 basic ingredients:

In addition to these basic ingredients, you may need a splash of water, or failing that, milk or vegetable drink.

Some herbs like oregano, thyme, basil, salt and pepper if you want a savory dough perfect to combine with strong cheeses.

Slice it and prepare some toast! Spread them with a little butter and accompany them with a homemade sugar-free applesauce.

Properties and benefits of consuming coconut:

• Rich in fiber, it is a laxative, and helps control cholesterol and blood sugar.
• Rich in mineral salts, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium.
• Low in carbohydrates.
• Contains vitamin E.
• Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, which helps strengthen the immune system.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cda almendra molida
• 2 cda coco rallado
• 1 cda aceite de coco derretido
• 2 huevos camperos
• 0.5 cda agua, leche o bebida de almendras (opcional)
• canela en polvo (opcional)
• 0.25 cucharadita esencia de vainilla (opcional)
• otras especias (opcional)

Instructions

 

• Hacer esta receta es muy fácil, solo tienes que mezclar todos los ingredientes en un bol o tazón apto para microondas. Empieza batiendo el huevo, añade el aceite de coco derretido y mezclalo bien.
  
• Después añade el coco rallado y la almendra molida, hazlo poco a poco para que se vaya integrando bien, enseguida te darás cuenta de si es necesario añadir más líquido a la mezcla o si por el contrario ha quedado muy líquido, en ese caso deberías añadir más coco o almendra.
  
• Si necesita más líquido añade un poco de leche de tu preferencia o un chorrito de agua.
• Cuando la mezcla se pueda batir con facilidad, pero no esté demasiado caldosa, añade los aromas, unas gotas de esencia de vainilla, un poco de canela en polvo o sencillamente nada*, bátelo bien.
  
• Cocina en el microondas a  máxima potencia (1000W) durante 2 minutos, cuando termine comprueba si la base está bien cocida, para saberlo fíjate en los bordes, cuando se despegan del recipiente es que está hecho. Si ves que por el centro está crudo cocina 20" más. Se trata de ir tanteando hasta que veas que está hecho.
  
• Déjalo enfriar un poco y desmolda el bizcochito, yo suelo cortarlo en lonchas, lo tuesto y lo acompaño con un poco de compota de manzana sin azúcar, también casera, ¡por supuesto! Es un bocado delicioso y si lo tomas con un buen café o té aún más. ¡Salud! 😉
  

Notes

• Si el sabor a coco no es tu preferido, puedes reducir la cantidad de coco rallado y aumentar la cantidad de almendra molida, o incluso eliminar el coco y usar solo almendra molida, en ese caso necesitarás unas 5 cda soperas de almendra molida.

 

• No suelo añadir especias a esta receta, así consigo una masa neutra que combina perfectamente con dulce o salado. Pero si tienes claro con qué combinarlo dale el toque que prefieras.

 

• El aceite de coco es fácil de encontrar en las tiendas de alimentación natural y tiene muchos usos, pero si no dispones de él puedes sustituirlo por mantequilla derretida, hará la misma función.
