    To mine this morning, I added 1.5tbsp brown sugar instead of the splenda, a half handful of Great Value Dried Mixed Berries, half handful of pine nuts, and I also sprinkled a pinch of brown sugar across the top before tossing it in the microwave.

    Just. Plain. Wow.

    1tbsp of salted butter poked in here and there, and I ate it right out of the oversized coffee mug with a fork lol.

    Delicious =D.

    This sounds awesome! I was thinking I would add some brown sugar or maple syrup to it tomorrow.

    For any Aussies out there..... flaxseed and linseed are the same thing, so look for ground linseed meal. I think I've seen this at the supermarket.
    Great, now I can try this!

    This is exciting! Sounds as much fun as the Zip lock bag omlettes I made a few years ago.

    Tell us more... please!

    BUMP!
    :drinker: Finally a guilt free bread even a diabetic can enjoy.

    I've adapted this recipe for individual Cinnamon Mug Muffins (Mug Bread) from the many versions you can find on the Internet. It's a very healthy alternative to other breads and muffins because it's made from ground flaxseed meal. It's low-carb, high fiber and packed with heart healthy Omega 3 Fatty Acids.

    Each gluten free muffin is just 196 calories and has 4 grams of carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber. That's only 5 net carbs per muffin. (You subtract the fiber carbs because they are not metabolized). The fiber helps you feel full and the slow digesting carbs will not spike your blood sugar.

    Here's the quick and easy recipe (OK to substitute brands):

    BUMP!


    1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed (120 calories)
    1/2 tsp Clabber Girl Double-Acting Baking Powder (0 calories) DO NOT USE BAKING SODA
    1 packet Splenda (0 calories)
    1 tsp ground cinnamon (6 calories)
    1/4 cup Egg Beaters (30 calories) or 1 whole medium egg (65 calories)
    1 tsp olive oil (40 calories) or 1 tsp of butter or margarine or 1 tbsp of apple sauce (for lower fat)

    --Put all dry ingredients into a microwave safe coffee mug and mix together with a fork.
    --Add the egg and olive oil (or butter or margarine or apple sauce) and beat with a fork until smooth.
    --Microwave 90 seconds to 2 minutes maximum. (My muffin came out perfect in 90 seconds in 1050 watt microwave. I checked t to see if it was done by sticking in a knife, which came out clean).
    --Allow to cool slightly.
    --Dump it out of the mug, then slice and enjoy with your favorite toppings or use like bread to make a sandwich.

    It takes about 5 minutes from cupboard to plate (measuring consumes most of the time). After cooling a bit, pass a knife around the inside of the mug and the funny looking 4-inch tall muffin will easily fall out when flipped upside-down. I was pleasantly surprised how delicious and moist it was. The texture was perfect (I was expecting something close to sawdust). It tasted just like a bran muffin. I was worried the cinnamon (which has been proven to help diabetics control their blood sugar) would be overpowering, but it was just right. I usually eat Wasa Crisp Breads (Sourdough) as part of my breakfast and lunch, but now I think I'll be making these whenever I can.

    For my sandwiches, I use a small 4.5 inch (13 oz) Pyrex bowl, which creates a larger bread, about 4 inches in diameter. In my microwave, I had to increase the time to 2 minutes. When cooled, you can easily slice it in two and add your favorite sandwich makings. To me it tastes and feels a lot like honey whole wheat bread. Delicious toasted too.

    My boys are allergic to eggs so in most of my baking I use "flax eggs" - a 1:3 ratio of flax and water, simmered to an egg-like consistency. Would probably go good with all the flax already in it.

    This looks fantastic! I struggle every morning to find a satisfying breakfast I can eat at my desk at work that will fill me up so I am not hungry again in 45 minutes. This looks like a wonderful balance! I will try it tomorrow! Might add 5-6 blueberries too! Thanks for the recipe!

    Can I ask how replacing the egg turned out? I might make it tomorrow if I know it goes well.

    I just made it for lunch, it's quite nice. I replaced the eggs, didn't add sweetner and added a few raisins. I think it needs the sweetner, I had to have it with jam as I needed something to help hide the taste of flax. But it's a much better recipe for GF bread than I've ever seen before.

    I used 1 tbsp of apple sauce instead of oil and OH MY GOODNESS. That was the most delightful thing I have eaten dieting or not. THANK YOU FOR POSTING OH SO MUCH! That was not only yummy (I also spritzed parkay on it) but it was sooooo filling! MMMMMMMMM. It satisfied my bread craving perfectly!
