Ingredients

(recipe uses metric measures so you may need to add slightly more ingredients if you use US measuring but still use 1 large egg)

Garnish with strawberry and serve with yogurt/cottage cheese

2 Tblsp ground flax (I used organic golden flaxseed meal)

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cinnamon**

1 tsp coconut oil

2 tsp xylitol (or 1 sachet Stevia)

1 large egg

2 T dried currants

Directions

Mix first six ingredients together in a mug using a fork. Add in the currants and stir through.  Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Allow to cool for a minute then turn out of the mug, slice into four rounds and butter OR have a mixture of cottage cheese and plain Greek yogurt along with it instead of cream cheese.

Turn muffin out of mug

This is deceptively filling and very tasty.  While it seems high in calories I am never hungry before lunch time, it carries me through at least 4 or 5 hours, believe it or not.

**Or substitute spices that will taste more like hot cross buns… use 1 ¼ tsp cinnamon and ¼ tsp mixed spice along with 1/2 tsp zest from an orange or lemon
