How to Make 1-Minute Breakfast Muffins

We've recently started eating low-carb, after reading the astonishingly large amount of studies that show how many negative health conditions can be eliminated by removing carbs from one's diet.

Since any kind of cold-turkey dietary sacrifice is enough of a mental shock on its own, giving up half the things you eat can be a little mind-numbing during the first few months. And on any low-carb diet, breads and pastries are among the first to go.

So we found this recipe for a low-carb breakfast muffin, that's ridiculously easy to make and surprisingly filling. Here is my how-to video.


In case you can't see it, here's the recipe:

 - 1/4 Cup Flax Seed
 - 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
 - 2 tsp. Cinnamon
 - about 1 tsp. Butter
 - about 1 tsp. Sugar or Sweetener
 - 1 Egg

Mix dry ingredients in a medium-sized coffee mug. Mix in butter with a fork until it's a consistent...consistency(?). Mix in the egg. Microwave for one minute. Garnish with the topping of your choice.

Some of my YouTube viewers have already taken the recipe into their own hands and started making substitutions that better suit their diets, but the concept remains the same. It's quick, it's portable, and it's a single-serving recipe that's good for on-the-go mornings or midnight snacks.


Bon Appétit!
