    For low-carbers!

    One Minute Muffin:

    Serving Size: 1

    1/4 cup flax meal (golden flax meal is best)
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1 packet splenda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 large egg
    1 teaspoon butter

    Put the dry ingredients in a coffee mug.

    Stir.

    Then add the egg and the butter. Mix.

    Microwave 1 minute (or more). Take out. slice, butter, eat.

    Cream cheese would go nicely, too.

    Notes: 11.1 total carbs, 8.8 fiber, for 2.3 net carbs.

    The shape of this can be changed by making it in a bowl, it comes out more like a round piece of bread.

    It can be "toasted" once it's cooked.

    The cinnamon can be replaced, or it can be made savory. I would imagine that any sugar free syrup could be added. Many people have said that the recipe benefits from a pinch of salt. I personally replace the butter with 1 tsp melted coconut oil. Some people put a tbsp of greek yogurt or sour cream, some add a tbsp of pumpkin, others omit the cinnamon and add onion powder, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese.

    There are a bazillion variations on this recipe at Low Carb Friends. They are all great!
