Introduction

Another variation on the awesome minute microwave flax muffins! This won't taste exactly like those crazy unhealthy versions you get in the corner bakery, but it has a nice crunch and a light, fluffy texture. Enjoy, and please comment if you make this recipe!

Ingredients

    Bob's Red Mill Ground Golden Flaxseed Meal, 1/4 cup. (I use a bit more frequently)
    Aluminum-free Baking Powder, 0.5 tsp
    1 Truvia, PureVia, Stevia or Splenda packet (or whatever you like - I use 2 drops of liquid splenda for 0 carbs)
    Lemon Zest, about 1/2 tsp. and maybe a little extra depending on how lemony you want your muffin
    1 large egg or equivalent amount of eggbeaters
    1 tsp. vanilla (I use sugarfree organic madagascar)
    1/2 tsp. almond extract (I use organic)
    2 tsp. poppy seeds (I use organic but make sure yours are fresh as these can get stale!)
    1 tsp. lemon juice (fresh, preferably) - more if you like lemony
    dash sea salt
    Optional: 1 tsp. butter, melted - add in with wet ingredients

Directions

Mix wet ingredients thoroughly and then add dry ingredients I use a large 2 cup measuring cup and just measure all the ingredients into it and then cook it right in the measuring cup. Microwave for 60 seconds. This will make a tall muffin. If you prefer a flatter muffin (more like a muffin top or an english muffin) use a small, shallow cereal bowl. Turn muffin out onto a plate immediately (it should just fall out) and soak the measuring cup, as flax sticks rather badly once dried. Top with butter or cream cheese and a little extra lemon zest if you like but it's pretty good straight.
