Would you believe me if I told you that you can make this Healthy Single-Serving Flaxseed Microwave Muffin in just 5 minutes flat? Maybe.
But after one bite, you’ll definitely have a hard time believing that this soft and springy, sweet and hearty muffin is sugar free, low carb, high protein, high fiber, AND gluten free too… it tastes too good to be good for you.
Flaxseed is an incredibly healthy ingredient full of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and fiber, but I find myself avoiding it because I’m not a fan of its flavor. Sorry, flax!
Surprisingly though, I absolutely loved this soft and springy Single-Serving Flaxseed Microwave Muffin. The cinnamon definitely helped get rid of the flax flavor that I am not a fan of… oh, and pure maple syrup helped a little too 😉
A big glug of pure maple syrup makes everything better, amirite?
You jealous?
Becaaaaauuse you totally should be 😉
This Healthy Single-Serving Flaxseed Microwave Muffin will make every day better. Because it’s so good and fast and easy, you’ll probably be making it every day. Whether it’s for breakfast, a midday snack, or nighttime treat. Trust me… been there, done that 😉
