Muffin in a Minute with a twist!

[Jimbob1058]

We've been using the M-I-A-M recipe for a few weeks now and have tried a few twists to the recipe.

First when done simply cut it in half and add an egg, cheese and a piece of bacon.

Next try adding three teaspoons of Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Coco. I chose to leave the Cinnamon in the recipe. Beware it does add a few carbs to the recipe.

Also my wonder file found a larger container of Flax meal at COSTCO that is more blonde than some that I have seen. The picture above is with this meal.

Then add the egg and the butter. Mix.

Cream cheese would go nicely, too.

Thanks for the add ons! I made it this morning but am unsure of the actual carb count... several people on the other post had varying levels of carbs with the same recipee. But it sure was good slathered with butter. It has been three weeks since I have had any semblance of a bread product! Yummy!

Re: Muffin in a Minute with a twist!

Okay here is what I found out.

The flax we use is 5 carbs per two table spoons. There are 4 tablespoons to a 1/4 cup. So that's a total of 10.

The chocolate that I use is Hershey's special dark. It is 3 grams per tablespoon.

I've seen it said that each egg is good for 1 gram of carbs.

Hope this helps.

Re: Muffin in a Minute with a twist!

The real question is how does the flax behave as net carbs. I've heard that since there is so much fiber that some of the carbs don't count. Not sure how that works but I've been eating these about every other day and haven't felt like it kicked me out of my groove.

My flaxmeal says 4 carbs for 2 tbsp with 4 fiber. So pretty much zeros itself out. I sliced mine into three thin english muffin sized pieces and spread some cream cheese. I had three breakfasts out of one minute of cooking! Woo HOO!

K Guys has anyone tried to DoNut this receipe? I mean would it last to fry it with cinnomon and splenda for a sweet treat? Anyone up to trying it? I would but I have to buy flax seed first.

This morning I had a mock mcmuffin. I made the minute muffin without the splenda and cinnamon, cut it in half (I cooked mine in a bowl), topped with a scrambled egg, cheese, and some ham. Yummmo! And VERY filling!

just a quick note...the flax amounts in this recipe exceeds the flax amounts for Induction phase. So reserve this one for On Going Weight Loss phase and beyond.

If you slice it into induction friendly sizes you could have a small serving.
That's what I did. (3 servings from one recipe)

Re: Muffin in a Minute with a twist!

I make a lemon poppyseed muffin out of the recipe by replacing the butter with a tsp of lemon flavored fish oil and 1/4 tsp of poppyseeds. After it's cooked, I slice and add butter. I always add a dash of salt to the batter, too.
I dislike taking the fish oil just on the spoon and this is one of the only ways I can tolerate the stuff. Even though there is absolutely no fish taste, the oil still somehow reminds me of castor oil and I have a very bad association with castor oil!
The poppyseeds add a nice pop and crunch to the muffin, too.

Re: Muffin in a Minute with a twist!

Hello,
Well, I tried this MIAM and it was quite good. So, I went and tried it with some zucchini and walnuts. Guess what... I had the first Zucchini bread in months...YUM!
So then I tried it with the splenda, cinn., and then I added raisins (just a few like 8-10) and YUM Raisin Bread. Next I tried it leaving out the cinn. and splenda and I added some onion powder and some salt and put in a bowl and used it to make not one, but 2 hamburger buns and had a hamburger !!! Yippie!!! Next Question...can you eat too much of the flaxmeal??? It really keeps you moving for sure for sure! Great Addition to my menu for this WOE. By the way, before all this came I was missing my hot cereal, now it comes out a little slimmy but if you get past the texture it is really good. I take 2 TBLS of flaxmeal and about 1/4 cup water and micro for about 1min 20 sec. then I added a splenda, and a small amount of cream and it was like cream of wheat. (only like I said a little slimmier) But Yummy!!
Good Luck to All

I tried it with no spenda. I put in onion powder and garlic powder instead. I was trying to create something like the onion bagels I miss very much. It was pretty good with the cream cheese. I sliced it into three sections. I used two of the sections as the breading for a mackerel (fishcake) sandwich with mayo and lettuce! WONDERFUL!

Re: Muffin in a Minute with a twist!

Ok here is another good variation on the MIAM. I used 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1 TBSP pumpkin, 1Tbsp heavy cream, one addition TBSP of Flax. Mix it up. put it in a mug. this one takes 1 1/2 -1 3/4 minute in the microwave. It was so darned good! don't forget to add the splenda though... I made a bunch of them one day and the one my hubby got the one that didn't have the splenda....
