I have been busy trying a few recipes this afternoon. I got home from Cincinnati at 3 and got the food processor out and whirrred up a coconut bar and mashed it into a wax paper lined pan. (I know technical cooking terms.) I put it in the fridge and did 10 minutes on the jiggler and 40 minutes in the sauna. By the time I finished sauna time the coconut bars had set up and was ready to cut into pieces. But that isn't what I am blogging about tonight. Patience!!! I'll post the coconut bars soon enough.
I also made a dairy free pumpkin cheesecake. I know. Can't be a cheesecake without cheese but OH MY. It was real easy to make and sooo delicious!!! I know I am a TEASE!!
Coconut bars or pumpkin cheese cake? Which one gets posted first? Any suggestions?
The recipe I am sharing tonight is Mug Muffin.
My microwave is in my garage because I don't want it in my kitchen. I rarely use it but I couldn't resist trying this recipe. My Starbucks mugs are the perfect size for this recipe. It takes all of about 3 minutes to make one from start to finish and it is grain free. Ground flax is the main ingredient. I made a couple variations. One savory and one sweet. Here you go.
Savory Mug Muffin
1/4 cup flax meal
1 ts baking powder
1 ts olive oil
2 ts TJ 21 seasoning salute
dash sea salt
1 egg
Combine everything in mug. Whisk together with a fork. Put in microwave on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 10 seconds.
I sliced and made bread discs. I plan on making garlic toast with my spaghetti squash and marinara meat sauce.
Sweet Mug Muffin
1/4 cup flax meal
1 ts baking powder
1 ts coconut oil or butter
2 ts cinnamon
1 1/2 Tbls pure maple syrup
1 egg
handful of raisins or blueberries
Combine everything in the mug. Whisk together with fork. Put in microwave on high for 1 minute to 1 minute 10 seconds. I sliced and made bread discs. Delicious toasted with butter.
I hope this inspires you to try something new and exciting. It's so easy and FAST!! Make a few and keep slices in the freezer. Planning is the key. Prepare a few thing in advance and you will be prepared for any occasion and you will never feel deprived.

Really love your blog, Linda! Can't wait for the coconut bar recipe...and the cheesecake recipe!
I made the savory mug muffin when I had waited so long to eat my stomach was hurting, and I used a different spice season mix. It turned out fantastic! Very satisfying without the guilt of regular bread!! It was sooo fast.
