ONE MINUTE MUFFIN - High protein Low carb Gluten free
I found this on the gluten free board of low carbfriends.com. I made a savory version with a little onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley. It was pretty good but I had to toast it as It was a little too moist to the touch for my taste.
The calorie count is higher than I would like but the high fat content works if you need a higher fat ketogenic diet as I do. It has 11.6g protein and just 2.4g net carbs. It is more filling than I expected so the calories are worthwhile. With lean meat and/or cheese it would work well for a sandwich or even a burger.
If you try it let us know what you think.

One Minute Muffin
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 t baking powder
[optional 1/4 t cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, plus 1 t splenda]
1 T butter
1 large egg
Melt the butter in a small microwave container (I use a 10 ounce pyrex thing). Mix the dry stuff. Crack the egg into the butter and mix with a fork - stir it up really good. Add the dry stuff, blend until well mixed. Put it in the microwave for ONE MINUTE - hence the name.
Eat steaming hot... or let it cool a bit. Good as a sandwich, good with cheese inside, good cut in half with an egg in it, you get the idea.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
I'm not a big fan of microwaved eggs. Its too hard not to over cook them.
This recipe is surprizingly like bread. Airy & not eggy at all, but damp on the outside like it sweats against the glass ramakin. I sliced it open and put in in the toaster oven. It was like a toasted bran muffin.
I make something similar with unflavored protein instead of flax and baked not microwaved. Its also pretty good. Very light but too dry.
Combining the two I tried half flax, half protein and microwaved it. Still damp but similar bran muffin flavor. I'm going to bake it instead and see how it turns out. I'll try the minute muffin baked too and let you know.
ETA---
Friend on another site I posted this too told me to take the muffin out of the ramekin to let it cool. I was letting it sweat. Been a long time since I baked and I'm not a microwave baker.
She also found the texture to be bread like. Others she shared the recipe with used 1tsp butter instead of a tblsp and it came out just fine. (I used smart balance light.)
