Coconut Flax Spice “Muffin”

This recipe is my adaptation of the “Muffin In a Minute” recipe at Atkins.com.  This quick, low-carb, gluten-free, Paleo treat can’t be beat!

Ingredients:

• 3 T Bob’s Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal
• 1 T Bob’s Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour
• 1/2 t baking powder
• a dash of sea salt
• 1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
• stevia to taste (I use stevia equivalent to 2 – 3 T sugar)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 T Mountain Rose Herbs organic, unrefined coconut oil, melted

Procedure:

1. Sift dry ingredients into a microwave-safe mug or custard dish.
2. Add beaten egg.  Blend with a fork.
3. Add melted coconut oil.  Blend with fork until stiff batter forms.
4. Microwave “muffin” on high for one minute.  Remove from mug or bowl immediately.

Notes:

To me, the “muffin” tastes best when it’s hot.  I’ve cut it in half, toasted it, and topped it with a little butter with good results.  My husband enjoys it with some plain cream cheese.
