Recipe: Muffin In A Minute
Breakfast Recipes, Pre + Post Workout Recipes, Snack Recipes
I’ve always loved muffins but most are loaded with sugar and flour. This healthy muffin recipe is quick, easy, very low carb and high in fiber. It’s delicious for breakfast, snack or even dessert. You can make this healthy muffin “as is” with fruit and nuts. Or you can make it savory to go with salads and soups. Substitute out the sweetener and add in shredded cheese, chopped veggies, and spices (dill is yummy). Got this recipe from my friend (she got it online…no originator listed?) but it’s my latest OBSESSION.

Actually, I did choke. It was pretty scary. I don't eat fruit (diabetic severely sensitive to carbs) so I'm not going to be making this again, but it tasted pretty good. A little spongy and eggy for me.

Made today for the first time. I added walnuts, blueberries, a dash of ginger and a dash of nutmeg. I didn't have stevia so I used truvia, but it was not sweet enough. I ate it with a little apricot preserve to make up for the lack of sweetness, and it was great! I will definitely make this again. Sent the recipe to my daughter who is a vegetarian.

I noticed the video of making the muffin said 1 T of olive oil but the listed recipe says 1 t. I made it with one tablespoon and it is not trust all.

Hi Jodi - we just checked the video and sorry that there was some confusion. The video does say 1 TSP (not TBSP) so it matches the recipe. Sorry about that but it shold work better with 1 teaspoon :)

Has anyone made this in the oven? I am not a microwave fan.

We've never tried it in the oven but let us know if you do!

Just a quick correction. This is not a low carb muffin. As a diabetic I can tell you right now this muffin counts as one full exchange since it is too close to 15 gr of carbohydrate to count as 1/2 an exchange. Other than that it is a really good and healthy recipe, especially since it offers an alternative to chemical sugar substitutes. Yay team!! <3

I make these muffins at least once a week for my husband and myself. I absolutely love them. Very satisfying and not overly sweet like bakery muffins.

I just made it with blueberries and walnuts. Taste is great but it was dry. Wondering if it's the difference in microwave power? I'm going to add applesauce next time. Definitely a keeper!

I LOVE these muffins! Been making them for some time and as I eat gluten free (by choice) and avoid processed gluten free foods, the "bready" texture and taste is always a treat. No, they're not as moist as a flour muffin, but I always add a good portion of blueberries and I think the addition of fresh fruit is essential. Plus a pinch of salt and coconut oil instead of olive oil, and usually some chopped nuts. I also mix the egg with the coconut oil, mix the dry ingredients together separately, then combine and add the blueberries and nuts last. Microwave for 1-1/2 minutes when using fresh fruit.
