Dr Oz flaxseed muffin. Not bad

Ok I just made and ate the flaxseed muffin that was featured on dr oz and its not horrible. I think I could eat it as my pre gym snack. I'm doing a low carb diet so it's hard to find pre gym snacks.

3 tablespoons of ground flax
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 egg

Then microwave in a mug for 65 seconds. No spray is needed on the mug it just slips out.

Above is the base reicpe but people add stevia, blueberries, etc. this morning I tried unsweetened cranberries and it was decent. Not yummy in any way but it was eatable.

Enjoy!

Just add flour and sugar and you might have something better than barely edible.
I prefer to log the carbs and enjoy.

Add some sweetener, maybe some cinnamon, nutmeg, etc and it'll taste better. Mine tasted like a bran muffin. I threw in a few chocolate chips too.

I made it but also added 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tbl canned pumpkin, 1 tbl chopped pecans and 2 packets trivia no cal sweetener. It was the bomb!

That's too much baking powder for any mug sized recipe. Pretty sure it made the taste even worse. It's a complete insult to culinary arts but of course I don't expect less from Dr. Oz.

That said, you can instead add flaxseed to your cereal or salads or smoothies etc.
