Muffin In A Minute

Muffin In A Minute

Pretty much every Low-Carber has heard of the "Muffin in a Minute" or "MIM" on low-carb internet forum speak...

For those of you who have never heard, basically it is a single serving flaxseed muffin. Mix one up and pop it in the mircowave and you have a great quick breakfast or snack. I have used this recipe to make the "bread" of a breakfast sandwich, and have also made an open faced "french toast" sandwich with them too. Mmm... quite delish! Plus, the fiber in the flax seed keep you quite...ahem...regular.... which is always a plus on a diet like Atkins.

I prefer to use the Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal. It comes in four varieties: regular Flaxseed Meal, both organic and not, and Golden Flaxseed Meal, also organic or notl. I use the regular Organic Flaxseed Meal. The Golden Flaxseed has a milder "grainy" flavor to it and some people prefer to use that instead.
