Flax Muffin in the Microwave

My friend shared this recipe with me for a flax muffin in the microwave!

  • 3 Tablespoons/ ¼ cup of ground flax (this can be found at Lassen’s, Costco, or Whole Foods market)
  • 1 tsp of baking soda
  • A pack of non-calorie sweetener, or tablespoon (or to taste) honey, maple syrup, or sugar
  • 1 tsp of oil  (I use coconut oil or olive oil)
  • 1 large egg
These are all the ingredients that you will need.
Start with putting your dry ingredients into a bowl.  I used a big coffee mug.
Break one large egg into your mug or bowl.

Just fold the egg into the mix, do not blend to much.


Microwave on High setting for about :65 seconds (try different times to see which you like best).

This is what it looks like out of the microwave.
   
You can eat it right out of the cup or bowl, but this time, I dumped it onto a plate.



Basic Ground flax muffin in a cup:

In a coffee mug or bowl add the following:  I like to use a larger/wider coffee cup

  •  3 Tablespoons/ ¼ cup of ground flax (this can be found at Lassen’s, Costco, or Whole Foods market)
  • 1 tsp of baking soda
  • A pack of non-calorie sweetener, or tablespoon (or to taste) honey, maple syrup, or sugar
  • 1 tsp of oil  (I use coconut oil or olive oil)
  • 1 large egg
To this I add cinnamon and some kind of fruit, such as small banana chunks, blueberries, dates, chopped nuts, etc.  Use your imagination!
 
Mix the first 3 dry ingredients, add oil and fruit and mix – then add the egg last. Blend well, but don’t over-mix.

Microwave for 60 +/- seconds on HIGH. 
Let sit for 15 seconds or so afterwards in the micro…invert on a plate. Delicious!

Thanks to Angie J. for sharing her recipe!

Popping Good Time

In order to familiarize students with our handbook, we decided to give the students a scavenger hunt to find important information in the book.
We broke students into groups and gave them access to the handbook and 10 balloons each containing a question to be found in the handbook!
The groups were in a race to be the first to answer all 10 questions, it was colorful, it was loud, and a good time was had by all!
