ONE MINUTE FLAX MUFFIN - LOW CARB



One Minute Flax Muffin - Low Carb image

Got this recipe from a message board for low carb'ers and wanted it here for my reference. Sadly, I don't know who the originator of this recipe is. This is quick easy, healthy, very low carb and high fiber. Works great as a sweet muffin as well as savory muffin (just omit the sweetener - goes well with soups). Original called for one packet of splenda as a sweetener. I only use stevia. Add in options; fruits, nuts, flavored sweeteners/syrups, cheese, bits of ham, vegetables or spices ... get creative and enjoy!

Time 3m

Yield 1 muffin, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon stevia powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1 teaspoon oil

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a coffee mug.
  • Micorowave for one minute on high.
  • If using frozen berries, microwave for 1:30 on high.
  • Smooth on some butter and enjoy!
  • It will be moist at first, but as the muffin cools it goes away.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time. This will help the muffins rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Ground flaxseed muffins are a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make snack or breakfast food. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. You can enjoy these muffins plain or with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
