Muffin in a Mug
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup milled flax seed (I recommend Hodgson Mill brand, it’s delicious)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1 packet Stevia sweetener (found with sugars in grocery)
In a MICROWAVE SAFE large coffee mug, melt the 1 tsp coconut oil about 20 seconds. Tip the mug slightly to swirl it around to coat the bottom and lower inside of the mug. Measure flax seed, cinnamon, baking powder, egg and Stevia right into the mug and mix well, with a fork to break up the egg.
Microwave on high power for 50 seconds. It will puff up to about 2/3 – 3/4 of the mug, depending on it’s size. It may look moist and not “done”, but it is. If you press it gently and it springs back, then it’s done.
Let it cool a few minutes and then loosen the sides gently with a fork or knife and dump right onto a plate. It is very tall so I cut it in half. You may then add some healthy options like a drizzle of maple syrup, some All fruit spread (no sugar)(Polaner brand has one)or eat plain. For less mess, you can just spoon it out of the mug.
Suggested add in’s before you micro.
