  • How do you tweak the muffin in a minute recipe?

    I tried putting SF vanilla syrup in place of the splenda and I didn't like it as well. But then I got to thinking....

    does anyone tweak the recipe for variety? What's your favorite tweak?

    Re: How do you tweak the muffin in a minute recipe?

    I like to leave out the sugar and cinnamon and instead put in italian herbs (the kind with five ifferent types in the jar) Then I cook it in the microwave in a bowl. slice it in half, toast it, spread low carb seasoned tomata sauce on it, add cheese and peperoni. bake on a pizza stone and you have pizza! it is really good. you do have to toast it until its pretty firm though. the great thing is that on the WOE you don't have to skimp with the peperonni. and you can alsways throw on veggies if you want.

      I like to leave out the sugar and cinnamon and add a tbls of parmesian cheese and a pinch of salt. Microwave it in a small bowl for 1 min 20 sec, Cut it in half and use it for a sandwich roll.
      Sometimes I add onion or poppyseed for a variety of flavor.

        here's a four-fer response:

        I like to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of green chili (from frozen tubs I buy at the grocery store.) leaving out the splenda, cinamon, vanilla, and cooking 10 to 15 seconds longer. I added cheddar to this once, but didn't really taste the cheese, so choose not to 'waste' cheese.

        I also like to add lemon flavoring, keeping the splenda and leaving out the cinnamon. I tried a teaspoon, but think maybe 2 tespoons would be better.

        My daughter likes to add dark cocoa powder. Same deal; keep the splenda, ditch the cinnamon.

        I like using this 'wonder bread' plastic sandwich container that's shaped like a piece of bread. You get a nice 1' thick slice of 'bread' which also makes a nice substitute for a bagel, when you eat with lox & creamcheese. (garnish with tomato, capers & red onions. mmmm.

            I sometimes put blueberries in mine and cook 10 seconds longer. I only use 1 tbsp flax meal in mine and no oil or butter but I butter the top after cooking and pour hvy cream on it.

              Would this make it induction friendly? I am not on the nut rung yet. I was wondering how it would turn out if I lowered the flax meal since 1/4 cup is over my allowance.

                Hi,

                I just keep it simple:

                1 tbsp melted salted butter
                2 tbsp flax meal
                1 egg
                1/4 tsp baking powder

                Mix and microwave for 2 minutes. Slice in half and fill with my favourite sandwich fillings.

                  I like to leave out the cinn. and splenda and use onion powder instead. It makes a great sandwich fixin'.

                  I also think it would be good with nuts and fruit but I am just entering the Owl rungs and not quite there yet.

                      I add cream cheese, usually, and SF maple syrup. Occasionally I throw in a breakfast sausage to get the McGriddle flavor. Mmmm - makes me wish I hadn't had breakfast already today.

                      I hadn't thought of using it as a savory bread type thing....I could put smoked salmon on it!
