Soufflé is really a fluffy egg dish.
Winter makes me want fluffy things.
A soufflé is a “light, fluffy baked dish made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients.”
If you can fluff an egg in the oven, why not in the microwave? It sounds strange… but it’s good! And quick.
Since my competition, I have quick eating chicken first thing, but I have yet to stop running late and shoveling down eating breakfast in the car. A microwave breakfast is just the thing to make on the fly and go.
What better combo than peanut butter, apple, and egg? Protein and sweet, carb-y fruit to begin the day right. I love berries, but I missed heartier fruit during prep!
I scooped this out into a to-go cup after taking pics.

Apple Peanut Butter Soufflé
- 1/2 C egg whites
- 1/4 tsp no-salt baking powder
- 1/4 tsp butter extract (or vanilla)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of cloves
- 2 T peanut flour*
- 1 small apple, chopped
In a small (cereal) bowl, beat eggs, baking powder, and extract.
In another small bowl, combine remaining ingredients, tossing with apple pieces to coat. Add apple mixture to the egg, stirring to combine. Microwave for 1-1.5 mins.
Remove and top as desired (I used more apple and freshly grated nutmeg).
*Note: You can also use coconut flour or a combo of the two here – just as delicious but a more cake-like texture.

What is your favorite quick breakfast?
Do you have a favorite breakfast fruit? I like apples at breakfast and cherries for dessert.
To hell with all that trouble about closing the oven door ever so slightly for fear of making your souffle collapse! Microwave it all the way 😛
I’ve yet to perfect the art of apples in desserts, they’re either too soggy or still to crisp. I mean they taste great, y’know, cause it’s dessert and all, but still 😛
This looks like just the ticket though. Egg = The best secret ‘secret’ ingredient 😉
I am with you on the apple problem -that another reason the microwave works well. It cooks such a short time they don’t get soggy!
Dude that just sounds AMAZING! You are amazing. I expect NOTHING LESS!
I have a microwave since only ONE year and i love to make quick things in it!! This one sounds so winter-y delicious and comforting. My personal favorite are mugcakes in all kind of versions!!
oooo I can see this being a new post workout snack…nice one!
I love berries and apples and bananas. Anything else, I can easily pass up!
No grapefruit?!
I’m always looking for make and take breakfasts since it never fails that I’m running Kate in the morning! Yum!
thank god for the microwave! and eggs! and PB! and that i have my appetite back!
Hooray for appetites just in time for Thanksgiving!!! So glad you’re feeling better. 🙂
I laugh I do do neeeed to link up.
My entire eating plan is mindful INTUITIVE WEIRD BUT YUMMY.
Intuitive weird but yummy… sounds like a book title. I think you’re on to something. Next year you’ll be interviewed by Oprah to promote it!
This sounds amazing! Definitely a possibility for breakfast this morning. Would PB2 work instead of peanut flour?
Definitely! They are the same thing, except peanut flour has nothing added (PB2 adds sodium and sugar).
apple & peanut butter is always a winning combination!!
I agree apples & pbutter, super yum
I love these micro wave souffles. Apple and peanut butter is one of my favorite food combos. I can’t wait to try this one.
Thanks! Let me know what you think!
Gotta love a quick micro-cake to save the day…err, breakfast! My favorite breakfast fruit right now is persimmons, but I also love apples and bananas…though I rarely ever have bananas because they always go bad on me before I’m in the mood for them!
Seriously, I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week! Gaaaah!
I never buy persimmons… that needs to be remedied. The banana thing surprises me – I either just buy 2-3 a a time, or bread (pancakes?!) or freeze them for smoothies.
Wouldn’t a Blend Thanksgiving be fun?!
My favorite quick breakfast is the protein shake I make for me and Vishnu. Just throw everything in a blender, wait 40 seconds, and you’re done! And as far as breakfast fruits are concerned, bananas win…hands down!
Apples and peanut butter are always a classic! If I need to eat on the run I’ll usually throw together some sort of yogurt bowl, and if I’m reaaaaaally running late, a Quest bar with some peanut butter.
Favourite breakfast fruit: banana. Bananas just always seem appropriate with breakfast.
Funny, winter just makes me FEEL fluffy LOL. This sounds fantastic. You can’t go wrong with PB and apples!
It’s so cold today that I WISH I was a giant fluff ball.
1. I linkylinklinked!
2. This may be the recipe that gets me over my “ew egg whites in a carton is so creepy why Murcah why’ because… yeah I want to make it.
Those cookies were a hit – my mom ate them for breakfast with coffee. 😉
This is such a great idea! Fav breakfast fruit lately has been raspberries. Totally not in season though. And you are absolutely right – being around family next week most definitely will be strange enough!!
Ahhh this looks amazing!!!
yum, Im trying this probably sometime this weekend! I have so many apples sitting around! And I love using egg whites to get in my protein!
It looked SO good on IG!!! Thanks for trying it. 🙂
Yum!!! Might have to add this one to the list! I’m all about quick things with the babe these days!
i have been enjoying a lot more fruit for breakfast lately 🙂 but don’t have a favourite 🙂 love them all 🙂 i hope you like my link up recipe!
It is hard to choose, right?! That’s why I never eat the same thing – so much to try!
I swear I end up pinning a ton of recipes every week from this, LOVE as always
Thank you, Amanda! The blog world is so full of strange goodness. 🙂
Yum!! Apples and PB make for one of the BEST combos!
What kind of butter extract do you use? The one I use always makes it taste like alcohol…which I certainly have no problem with, but I wouldn’t mind if it tasted like butter!
It’s the brand from Whole Foods… Frontier, I think? It’s my favorite for any flavor – definitely not the heavy alcohol taste.
I have been eating apples with everything this time of year- nice change from my usual summer berries (although I do have a ton of those frozen) 😉
I have a freezer collection too. 🙂
Ooh, what a great idea… and we’ve been buying tons of local apples this fall and downing them like crazy. Trying this soon! Have a great weekend, Laura!
this sounds delicious, definitely trying it this weekend because I have all the ingredients for once. BOO YA so sad, my plates still haven’t come 🙁
Seriously?! You know its a coupon, right? I’m emailing them AGAIN right now!
Peanut butter and apples! Sign me up! I’m a repeat offender with oats in the morning and I eat more apples than I care to admit in public. 🙂
This sounds amazing! I hope you have an incredible weekend! xoxox
It took me this long to have oats again after my competition… but this morning they were perfect. SO COLD!
Apple and peanut butter? Simply love this breakfast dessert combo 😀
Cheers
CCU
This sounds soooo good! I love apples and of course peanut butter!
LOVE quick, easy & delish!!!!!!
Quick and easy, just for you. 🙂
Yummy I love microwave breakfast and now that I’m personal training again I need quick breakfasts that are going to fuel me without waking up the husband with banging pots and blenders! I will try this out this week! Great recipe lots of love C
I’m so mean… I’d be bitter he got to sleep and use my blender loud and proud. LOL!
I love my microwaved muffins and breakfasts!! 🙂 However I so miss my eggs!
Yum! I can’t wait to try this, as I’ve been loving egg and fruit combos lately! (And I’m all too familiar with the grabbing-breakfast-while-running-to-the-car feeling!) My favorites for breakfast are apples, berries, and pumpkin of course! I tend to go with oranges for snacks, and peaches or berries for dessert.
Peaches are the best for dessert! Have you ever grilled them? So good!
I always have fruit for breakfast and I would have to say my favorite is a combo of blueberries and raspberries. Greek yogurt, my fruit combo, chia seeds, and nut butter is probably my fastest go to breakfast. No chopping, a few measurements, and I am good to go. 🙂
Yummy – I love my egg whites in the morning and I can eat lots of fruit now! 🙂
Isn’t that the best thing to bring back?! I love fruit.
You might not be late in the morning if you didn’t stop to take pictures of your breakfast. Food blogger problems, huh. I’m always running late too, even though I get up hours before I actually leave the house. Time management issues right there.
I like apples and peanut butter. I think they’re a wonderful combo. The eggs though…yeah I’m a little skittish on that one, although I did put apples in a quiche so I guess it’s not that far off.
Happy Turkey Day.
Touche… but the pic only take a second…
Quiche, souffle… same thing. Eggs are in apple bread and I bet you like that. 😛
You got me there because I would like Apple Bread. In my defense, I never claimed to be rational when it comes to food combos. 🙂
I cannot believe I’m not the only one who does this.
Gaaaahhhh….. I feel less alone!
I do it the same, too…microwave and and baking soda and everything!
I love it when I make it with lots of eggs it shrugs out of the container onto the plate like a loaf (if I use a tupperware) or cake… that way I can let it cool, top it and run out the door and eat it hand to mouth in the car when I am late.
Fantastic site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any
message boards that cover the same topics talked about
here? I’d really like to be a part of online communbity where I can get
feed-back from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Appreciate it!
