Five Minute Blueberry Muffin - 6.4 net carbs
This blueberry muffin takes about 5 minutes to make, even quicker if you prepare several dry ingredients batches ahead of time, like I do.This is a light and moist muffin - yet very filling and calorie dense. So I would have this with a pepperoni stick for lunch and feel satisfied and full till dinner.
Serves: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Net Carbs: 6.4 carbs
Potential Allergens: egg, coconut
Free of Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Sugar, Nuts, Meat, no added salt.
Dry Ingredients:3 tbsp (45ml) ground flaxseed
1/2 tsp (3ml) baking powder
1 tsp (5ml) cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
1 large egg
1 tbsp (15ml) coconut oil
1/2 tsp (3ml) vanilla
1 tbsp (15ml) blueberries
Preparation:
Mix the dry ingredients together. Melt the coconut oil in a large coffee mug in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add the dry ingredients to the melted oil in the coffee cup. Add in vanilla, egg and blueberries. Mix well.
Microwave the mixture in the coffee mug for 99 seconds. If you watch the muffin cooking in the microwave, you will see it rise up past the cup, but it will settle back down once it is cooked.
Your muffin should pop out of the mug easily. Slice muffin into 5-6 slices, and spread with butter or desired filling/spread.
To make this up even quicker, I usually prepare five batches of the dry ingredients at once ahead of time, and store the remaining four dry mixtures in the fridge - in small Rubbermaid storage containers.Then I can just dump in the dry ingredients quickly - and lunch is ready in just moments!

can you do this without a microwave?
Yes, I tried it in the oven and a small pyrex bowl - and cooked it for 25 minutes. It wasn't as fluffy, but it tasted just as good! It came out looking like a muffin top!
These type of flax muffins are great and the idea of making a blueberry one just seems right! thanks for the idea!
