Gwen’s Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin

Here’s another great recipe from Gwen Brown, who has an awesome blog full of delicious THM recipes at www.Gwens-Nest.com. Enjoying this muffin for breakfast is one of Gwen’s favorite ways to start her day and part of the reason she lost 45 pounds to get to goal weight. She pairs it with stevia-sweetened Greek yogurt mixed with fresh lemon juice and the berry syrup on her blog, which is similar to our Slim Belly Jelly (page 478), but made with the minimum amount of gluccie. Both coconut flour and golden flax meal are easily found, rather inexpensively, at most grocery stores these days, so go ahead and give this a try.This recipe is in the "Sweet Treats - Quick Single Muffin" section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 278. Makes 1 large "muffin in a mug" or 2 smaller muffins in the oven.

Makes 1 large "muffin in a mug" or 2 smaller muffins in the oven.

Ingredients
  • coconut oil spray (optional)
  • 1 large eggs
  • 2 Tbs golden flax meal
  • 1 Tbs coconut flour
  • 2 Tbs lemon juice
  • 1 Tbs butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
  • 1 pinch TH Mineral Salt
  • 2 tsp TH Super Sweet Blend (or 3 to 4 tsp TH Gentle Sweet)
  • 1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2 drops lemon essential oil (2 to 3 drops - optional, but really makes this muffin sing)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F if baking the muffins. Lightly spray an 8-cup muffin tin with coconut oil cooking spray.
  2. 2
    Combine all the ingredients in a coffee mug if microwaving or in a small bowl if baking. Stir with a fork. Mix really well to make sure that the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Cook in the microwave for 50 seconds or so (this muffin is much yummier a little underdone versus overdone). Or spoon the batter into 3 of the muffin holes and fill remaining cups with water (for nice steaming effect) and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until muffins are almost done but still slightly gooey on top.

RECIPE AUTHOR: Gwen Brown

From page 278 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook...
"Feel free to quadruple the recipe to make a dozen breakfast muffins in the oven. Ultra-frugal Mamas can get awaywith using just 2 or 3 doonks Pure Stevia Extract instead of the sweeteners listed for the single serve."
