Pumpkin Spice Muffin in a Minute

Pumpkin Spice Muffin in a Minute

I love autumn. It is my favorite season. Driving down a frequently used road and one morning all of the leaves are yellow and not the bright green they were the summer before. The leaves turning colors, falling to the ground and crunching beneath your feet. The crisp wind against my cheeks and blowing through my hair. (As you can see, I am clearly cheating on my husband with a season...) The smell of a Halloween Jack-o-Lantern as the candle inside slowly cooks the pumpkin. mmmm... pumpkin.

Here is another great recipe featuring pumpkin. It is one of those great quick breakfasts, the muffin in a minute.

Pumpkin Spice Muffin in a Minute

Makes one muffin, 3 Net Carbs

1/3 cup Golden Flax Seed Meal (golden really does help with the pumpkin flavor... you can use the regular flaxseed meal, but you might have to add more pumpkin to really get the taste.)

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ginger

6 drops liquid sweetener (such as liquid Sweet'N Low)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon butter (plus more for spreading if wanted)

2 tablespoons pumpkin

1 teaspoon sugar free vanilla syrup (or, sugar free Pumpkin Pie Syrup!)

Mix your dry ingredients in a microwaveable coffee mug. Add the egg, liquid sweetener, butter, pumpkin and sugar free syrup. Mix well. Put the mug in your microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Feel the top of your muffin with your finger, if it is still a bit sticky, put it in for 30 more seconds, it should be perfect. Spread with butter and enjoy! :)
