I stirred together the flax meal, baking powder and a pinch of salt , Then in a another bowl I combined 1 Tablespoon peanut butter, 1/4 cup plain soy yogurt and 2 teaspoons of honey. Added the wet ingredients to the dry and stirred to mix. Nuked in a greased coffee mug for one minute then rested for 2 minutes. Has nice texture and flavor.

I tried a microwave muffin recipe before, it worked well AS LONG AS you don't get tempted to put it in again because it still looks wet. Remember, when you're cooking with a microwave, the standing time is just as important as the cooking time - just like resting a steak. (if you want to get technical, it's because the microwave creates hot spots and cold spots - standing lets the temperature even out, which finishes the cooking).

The one minute muffin is a lot of fun to make. I followed your directions but stirred the ingredients with a dinner knife. Wonder if that helped make my muffin light and fluffy? Ha. Thanks for the clever muffin with no "calorie guilt". Wow. The one minute muffin is a lot of fun to make. I followed your directions but stirred the ingredients with a dinner knife.

I ended up with a very baking-powderish tasting muffin. gross. thanks for reporting back! I tried it with peanutbutter today instead of regular butter. No fruit, just the peanutbutter and honey. It was VERY. FILLING. and tasty! :-) it kept me from wanting a mid-morning snack, though, which is kind of unheard of for me. xoox steph I made the mistake of trying to cut corners, once, too.

My bad. Delicious though! I only had bananas in the house and used that but am now planning to pick up some blueberries next time I'm at the store. Thanks for giving me a good use for the flaxmeal I have in the fridge! I made one this morning and can say that if you try to cut corners and mix it all up in the mug it won’t mix as well. My bad.

It's kind of mild, and I think you'll like it. It's got a good amount of protein and fiber, and sort of disappears when you add a scoop to smoothies or in cookies. This is the first time I've used it as a flour, and was pleasantly surprised. The bag in the photo I got at Costco, and I keep it in the freezer. Hi Holly, it reminds me of bran.

I haven't tried the maple syrup, that's a good idea. I overnuked mine the first time too. It's a bit misleading when you first take it out of the microwave because the top looks wet (I think it's the melted butter), but if you put a knife in it comes out clean after a minute (usually! maybe only a 5-10 second variation, if that?) now I want to try banana and maple--- I wonder if having 1/2 cup of flax in one day is too much for my system? hhmmmm...
