This single serving flaxseed muffin is a delicious alternative to baking up an entire dozen. You can easily make a slightly different version each time with some simple substitutions.
2packetsTruvia Sweetener (or sweetener of choice such as honey, maple syrup, golden syrup, etc.)
Instructions
Stir together the ingredients until well blended. Pour into a large microwave safe mug that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Microwave on High Power for 1 minute. Check for doneness. If it isn't completely cooked, continue to cook for 15 seconds at a time until done. (Microwaves vary in power so exact cooking time may be different.)
Allow muffin to cool in the mug. Enjoy from the mug or remove and place on small plate.
Recipe Notes
You can play with this recipe. Stephanie used 1 tablespoon of butter. I substituted 1 tablespoon nonfat Plain Greek yogurt with good results saving several calories and points.
Add a bit of spice such as ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, 5 spice blend, nutmeg, cardamom, etc.
A little fresh or dried fruit would be nice too: raisins, Craisins, blueberries, chopped apple, chopped peach, mango etc. Next time I might try 1 tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce instead of the yogurt.
Make this muffin in advance: after cooking muffin, cool slightly and remove from the mug. Allow to thoroughly cool and then wrap tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. Will keep 1 day at room temperature or 2 days in the refrigerator. Can be enjoyed later at room temperature or re-heated in microwave for a few seconds.
Try a different sweetener - substitute an equal amount of honey, agave, or maple syrup for the sugar.
Add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
