One-Minute Muffin
I’ll post the original “1-Minute Muffin” recipe I found, but definitely look at the many variations below...
. Melt 1 T butter in a coffee cup or measuring cup.
. Mix in ¼ cup flaxseed meal, (can use almond meal, oat fiber, coconut flour or a mixture, i.e. half flax, half almond)
. ½ tsp baking powder
. 1 egg
. Sweetener (to personal taste): 1 tsp xylitol or 1-2 Spenda pkts or 1 T S/F flavored syrup (Torani/Da Vinci)
Mix well – microwave approximately 50-60 seconds (depending on micro wattage). Turn out and let cool. Muffin top should look shiny and a little moist. Serve w/butter or cream cheese while warm or plastic wrap for later.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get you started, here are a few ideas...
Banana Bread Muffin: Add cinnamon/nutmeg, S/F Banana Syrup/extract, and nuts
Breakfast Muffin: Add cinnamon, vanilla,
Spice Muffin: Add cinnamon, allspice, and cloves
Cheese Muffin: Add garlic powder and cheese of choice.
Chocolate-Raspberry Muffin: add S/F Chocolate and Raspberry syrups, and a cream cheese cube in the center.
Chocolate Lava Muffin: An individual Happy Birthday Cake (for the person looking for a recipe a while back!!)
1/4 Cup Almond Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 Tbsp Splenda (more or less), (probably less if using Xylitol)
2 tsp. Torani Chocolate SF Syrup
1 Tbsp unsweetened Baking Cocoa (mine has 1 carb per Tbsp)
1 Egg
2 tsp. Butter or Olive Oil
2 pieces S/F Chocolate Candy on top of mixture.
Pumpkin Pie Muffin: Add 1 tsp Pumpkin spice and ½ tsp cinnamon
Stuffing Muffin: Replace sweetener & cinnamon with poultry seasoning & salt.
Now MORE ideas...
Nuke the mixture in a rectangular or square plastic container. Cool and slice horizontally to make Sandwich Bread!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??!! Now we can make grilled cheese; Reuben’s; egg salad; fried egg/bacon; BLTs, etc.. OR, dip slices in an egg/cream/cinnamon mixture and fry to make FRENCH TOAST, and top with S/F Maple Syrup! Someone even made waffles with the original mixture!
Nuke in a round container (like the coffee mug), cool and slice horizontally. Now we have a hamburger/sandwich bun; or the foundation for a McMuffin – I personally am looking forward to turning my faux English muffin into a Tuna Melt!!
More Tips/Ideas found on an old, Low-Carb board:
SANDWICH/BREAD/ROLLS: “I make these, split the recipe between two square dishes and make 2 buns suitable for sandwiches, once sliced. For turkey sandwiches I add crushed red pepper, PARM, ITALIAN SEASONING, onion powder or garlic powder to the OMM (One Minute Muffin) recipe. I also add dill seed, celery seed, and coarse sea salt to the tops for all kinds of sandwiches. This recipe is a lifesaver to anybody who misses bread. I also use golden flax seed for a mellow yellow color. Remember when you remove from dish, turn bread over to dry out the bottom if a little wet. I store mine in ziploc baggies.”
3-Minute LOAF:
“This is basically the "1-minute muffin" recipe, but tripled, made savory and cooked for 3-minutes.
3/4 Cup Flax meal
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tsp. Mrs. Dash, or Italian Blend Seasoning
3 Large Eggs
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Sprinkle of Parmesean on top
Mix the dry ingredients in a loaf dish (like the holiday-size, banana nut bread, etc.). Add eggs and oil, mixing very well. I notice that if the dry ingredients are not thoroughly mixed, or the wet-big pockets are left in the bread, so mix it up good! Sprinkle Parmesean Cheese on top. Microwave for about 3-minutes, my microwave takes 2:50 to complete.
Pop out of the baking dish. Slice the loaf in half. Then slice each half in half, making 4 slices total. Each slice should have 1.13 total net carbs, or each complete sandwich should have 2.25 total net carbs. Each slice is about 3/4 inch thick. This is a keeper! Next time, I'll top it with some sunflower seeds, maybe some celery seeds or a very light sprinkling of oats.”
I’m am soooo excited about this recipe and its endless possibilities that I just had to share with everyone here on FTS!!! The 1-Minute Muffin is easy AND clean-up is just a cup and a fork!!!
Please be sure to post your creations so we all can try...
