PALEO GLUTEN-FREE YUMMY BLUEBERRY 2-MINUTE MICROWAVE MUFFIN

If a blueberry muffin craving strikes, rather than running out for a fast food blueberry diet bomb, try whipping up one of my yummy two-minute coffee mug microwave muffins. They are grain-free, gluten-free, paleo-friendly and high-protein. (This is because they contain the egg and the flaxseed meal.) The egg alone contains 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of which are found in the yolk. Additionally, the egg contains 13 essential vitamins and minerals and all nine essential amino acids. Add in the Omega-3 ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) and the fiber found in the flaxseed meal, and you have a healthy tasty and filling breakfast.

INGREDIENTS

1Egg
3/4cup frozen blueberries
2tbsp Ground Flaxseed Meal
1tbsp Chia Seeds
1 1/2tsp Organic Raw Honey
1tsp Organic Coconut Oil
1tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1dash sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1.Break egg into large microwave-safe coffee mug, and stir with a fork until lightly beaten.
2.Stir in honey, vanilla extract, salt, flaxseed and chia seed until blended into a batter.
3.Gently fold in the blueberries until distributed fairly evenly.
4.Microwave on high for 2 minutes. (Check the muffin's consistency. If it hasn't set, put it in for 30 more seconds.)
5.Turn the mug upside down over a small plate and gently tap the bottom so that the muffin falls onto the plate. Top it with a few spare blueberries and/or another drizzle of honey. Or, eat it out of the mug on-the-go.
6.Enjoy!
