Hi! I've started this blog as a way of sharing recipes with friends and family. Hope you like it. :)

 Muffin In A Minute

If you are avoiding flour but still want something that has the texture of a bread or muffin, this is a great, quick recipe. It's not very sweet as it's written, but you could add more sweetness if you like. I often make this for breakfast or a mid-morning snack.

1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 tsp baking powder
1-2 tsp sugar or 1 tsp Splenda (I usually use 1 tsp  Splenda-brown sugar blend)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1 tsp butter
 about 1 tbsp dried fruit/nuts (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a 1-cup glass dish or coffee cup. I recommend placing the bowl on a small plate before putting it in the microwave, just in case it overflows slightly (it's happened to me).  Cook for 1 minute in the microwave. Turn out onto a plate. Slice and eat it plain or spread with butter, cream cheese or jam.
