I really liked this recipe. It is quick and easy to do and small amount of clean up. I used honey in place of stevia. I think it really needs some nuts or berries to make them "pop" otherwise they are plain. Hint - must use a coffee cup with straight sides. I used a round shaped mug and it didn't cook up as well. I am going to make up packets with the dry ingredients in ziploc bags so that in the morning i can just dump, mix, cook and away i go.

WOW! Now I can have a muffin in any flavor I want in just a few minutes. No big batch to tempt me. This recipe seems very versatile. This is a cross between a muffin and a bowl of healthy cereal. I melted l teaspoon of coconut oil in the cup for 30 seconds in the microwave, 10 seconds at a time on low until melted. Then I added the flax seed meal, the baking powder, 1 package of Sweetleaf Stevia sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, l egg, 2 dashes of dried orange peel, and 2 teaspoons of frozen blueberries. Stir well and cook as directed. Next time I will add a few chopped walnuts and raisins. Maybe some chopped apples or strawberries. YUM. Thank you EasternCook. UPDATE = This is my new favorite recipe. I just added 2 cut up dried apricots to the cup and mixed it up, and it was wonderful. Next time I will try to use egg replacer or 2 egg whites for the egg. UPDATE #2 I have found that stirring all the dry ingredients first works out better because otherwise the baking powder has a tendency to clump. Stir the dry ingredients well, then add the egg and oil (even the coconut oil mixes in pretty well this way). Stir again. Add fruit and cook. I have used raisins with good success, but don't like nuts in this. My family says this is prison food, but I love it, and it fills me up!

This was surprisingly good. I made the cinnamon flavor. I will definitely make it again and again. This is a very versatile recipe with lots of different potential.

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Mix it all up in a coffee cup, zap it for one minute, turn it upside down on a plate and the TALLest muffin you've ever seen just sliiiiides right out. The taste wasn't half bad either, although next time I'm going to try melted butter in place of the oil. Awesome!!!

I am looking for no yeast, no sugar recipes for my DD, who we think might have candida. I tried this and it is so easy! It fluffed up really nicely. It did taste a little eggy, so my DD didn't like it, plus I used 1/2 tsp cinnamon (I also used coconut oil). Next time, I'll try to use egg white and the full cinnamon and add some berries to see if I can get her to eat it. She's not an egg fan. I did like it though.

If you're a LC'er this muffin is heaven! I miss eating a lot of muffins. I make mine with stevia, peanut butter and just a touch of jelly. As far as low carb goes, I'd say five stars. Compared to a delicous Costco (or mainstream) muffin I'd give it one star.
