morning mug muffin

One Minute Cocoa Flax Muffin

Ingredients

1/4 cup ground flax seed
1 egg
1 tsp butter
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a large mug and microwave for 50 seconds.  Pops right out – you don’t even need to grease the mug.

Saw this recipe and thought, "Hey, I have all these ingredients, a microwave & a few coffee mugs." So, I tried it.  

Something different in the morning besides oatmeal or eggs. And, honestly, does it get any quicker & easier than this? Only if a big bird flew through your kitchen and dropped a muffin into your outstretched hands.

What I'd do differently next time:

• more cocoa or maybe use a darker cocoa
• salted butter (only had unsalted to use this morning)
• top with a smear of natural peanut butter
