One Minute or to be precise, One Minute Forty Seconds Paleo Flax Muffin

Yesterday was a bit of a helter-skelter day, kids parties, fresh produce stock up, a normal Saturday run of the mill kind of day, also a bit lazy too and the fact that it was chilly most of the morning made it ideally a comfort food kind of day AKA known as weekend eating. Not to be outdone by the family who were scoffing on all things in their words "yummy" I happened upon an old friend from years ago that made their way onto my recipe file and gave it a try - this is something I had made about two months ago but without the any natural sweetness, being the savoury eater that is me! 

The benefits of adding flaxseed, especially flax seed flour, to a low carb eating plan is that it has lots of fibre and is healthy fat, and very low in carbohydrates. And it's tasty, with a delicate nutty flavour. Flax seed is very high in fiber. Drink lots of fluid while eating flax. Whole flax seed will sail right through you!!!

A relatively easy and quick recipe made in a large mug and cooked in the microwave, leading to a delectable and an ideal in-betweener for those struggling to find a healthy balance in their meal plans.

One Minute Paleo *Flax Muffin

Ingredients

3 tblsp. *Flax flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder (the gluten and starch, preservative-free kind) or 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp. melted **coconut oil, or olive oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
(I added half a mashed banana as seen in the pic above)

You may add-in any of the following: berries, 1/2 mashed banana, nut butter, shredded coconut, 1 tbs. raw  cocao powder, 1 tsp. cinnamon OR opt to have it without any addition, in this instance, use the first four ingredients only and add a pinch of salt to have as a savoury muffin with your breakfast or any meal.

Here's How

Combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe mug and heat on high for 1.5-2 minutes. Remove with towel or pot holder and turn upside-down to dislodge muffin. Cut into rounds and eat immediately!
