This Healthy Single-Serving Butterscotch Buckwheat Microwave Muffin Recipe takes only 5 minutes to make, plus it’s sugar free, gluten free, and vegan too!
In my last post I gave you two recipes for Homemade Butterscotch Chips — one that can be baked as it is suitable for high heat applications and one that is meant for no-bake treats because they will melt into caramel-like pockets of goo. I said that the no-bake version would be a great addition to krispy treats, protein bars and even a bowl of dessert oatmeal… but, how would the chips hold up to a microwave muffin?
They held up miiiighty fiiiine! Yes, the chips softened slightly similar to warm caramels, but they definitely didn’t melt into a pool of hot syrup… like the blondies I tried baking these with… This healthy Single-Serving Butterscotch Buckwheat Microwave Muffin is absolutely divine, mouthwatering and sweet. It definitely tastes like a dessert but its health benefits qualifies it for breakfast. I’m serious. And it only takes five minutes to make and five minutes to “bake?” Hell yes.
