So I was recently exposed to this whole "Muffin in a Minute" thing... and I am blown away. I have been on a much lower carb diet these days, and found this as part of a recipe for an alternate grilled cheese. With the basic foundation of micro-baking flax based bread, the possibilities are endless. Not to mention I have always been a flax-fan.
Just a disclaimer, this idea is not mine at all and while I did tons of googling, I'm still not sure where the original credit belongs. I made one of the basic recipes exactly as stated, and then experimented with my own creation this morning. Still smiling!
Basic Muffin in a Minute (per each)
1/4 cup flax seed meal (milled flax)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 packet sweetener (or 1/4 tsp granulated)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg, 2 whites, 1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tsp oil or melted butter
Mix all in a mug, microwave 1 minute, and BAM! Delicious muffin that you can butter, jam, cream cheese as you like.
Having some leftover pumpkin in my fridge, I decided to add that in and make it my own.
Mom's Pumpkin Spice MIM (per each)
1/4 cup flax seed meal (milled flax)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 packet sweetener
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 egg
1 tsp melted butter
1 generous tsp pumpkin puree
1 TBSP cream cheese
Mix cream cheese and HALF sweetener packet and set aside. Mix remaining ingredients in a custard dish or mug and microwave for 1 1/2- 2 minutes (depending on how hot your microwave runs).
Remove muffin from dish and cut in the center, smear cream cheese "frosting" on each half.
I don't do stats a lot because they vary so much... but the stats for my generous size muffin made exactly are:
