Good to know Tony, it sounds really good!

Tried this recipe someone gave me. I've made several cake & muffins in a mug. Now wanted to try making one with my golden flax seeds that I ground up.

Cinnamon-Flax Mug Muffin

My verdict- mine was very tasty, but too dry. Two mistakes I made. I put the small mix in a soup mug, which was too large. Also I used too small of an egg. Will make another muffin for Mary & correct these. I might make some Chia gel & add to it too.
This tasted great sliced & with butter.

1/4 cup golden Flax meal
1/2 tsp baking powder
6 drops FTS Zero Sweet
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 large egg
1 tsp butter

Melt butter in coffee mug, add rest of ingredient. Mix until well blended.
Microwave 1 minute. Take out, Slice, butter and enjoy!

Thanks doug, I always need new ways to cook my chicken's eggs for breakfast.

This morning I'm trying a new mug cake recipe for breakfast. I'll let you know how it goes.

Susie, do you raise chickens?? If so how about a picture

Hi, Susie!

Your Cinnamon-Flax Mug Muffin is a variation on the One Minute Muffin (an FTS staple).

Next time, try 1 TBSP (melted) Butter (instead of 1 TSP).
That's one reason why it came out dry for you.

Here's how I do it...

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl.
And in another, melt the butter. Then, mix in the egg and Zero.
Add the egg-Zero mixture into the dry with a fork and whisk until well mixed.
Then, nuke the combination for 45 seconds at 1000W (longer for lower wattage).

The best way to nuke them is in a small Pyrex bowl.
Comes out perfect for me EVERY time!

I will top with a little more Cinnamon and some heavy whipping cream!... YUM!!!
50-50 SF toppings are great, too!

Thanks so much Tony! I'll try that today.

Doug, Mary has photos of the chickens on her computer, when she gets on it today I'll have her send them to me.

I made it with 1 tbsp butter and cooked 45 seconds and it turned out perfect. Thanks again Tony.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Form meat mixture into walnut-sized balls and place in a baking pan with sides.
Bake for 20 minutes. Move meatballs to a shallow frying large enough to accommodate the meatballs or crock pot. Combine sauce ingredients in bowl.
Pour over meatballs. Simmer over medium low heat on the stove for 30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes; or if using a crock pot, set to low for an hour, and then low until serving, at least 2 hour ahead of time.
Keep meatballs covered to retain sauce. Serve warm with toothpicks for easy serving.
