Flaxseed Quick Muffin/Toast (Gluten Free/Low Carb)

Ingredients
1/4 cup Flaxseed Meal 1/2 tsp Baking Powder1 1/2 tsp Kroger Zero Calorie Baking Sweetener (Xylitol) or other sweetener1/3 cup Egg Substitute (or 3 Egg Whites)1 Tbsp Canned Pumpkin1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice(Optional: Omit sugar and pumpkin pie spice and add other savory spices, to taste.)
Select a microwaveable container. I like to use a round container that is approximately 3.5" in diameter and 3" tall. Every container will provide a different shaped "muffin/toast," so you can experiment and determine what you like best. For example, I use a square container when I want to make "bread" for a sandwich.
Whisk (I use a mixer w/the whisk attachment) egg until fluffy. Add pumpkin and whisk until combined. I use Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin. Make sure you use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix. Add flaxseed meal (I prefer Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal), baking powder, sweetener, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until combined.
Place container w/batter in microwave for approximately 2 1/2 minutes (depending on the wattage of your microwave). You can eat your muffin directly from the microwave. However, I like to toast mine (whole muffin or slices) in the toaster oven (300° for approximately 6 minutes, turning once). Makes one serving.

cant see how it holds together for sandwiches. the texture is interesting..slimy a little from the egg, but it may go away when toasted in the oven more. - 3/26/11

I have never specifically used this for sandwiches, though I don't believe it would be a problem. I have tweaked the recipe a bit. I would suggest it is microwaved for at least 2 minutes. That could be why yours was slimy. Also, I toast my slices for 6 minutes total, turning 1/2 way through...
