This week's recipe

Sometimes, you just need cake!  Enter muffin in a mug recipes.  There is a basic recipe which adapts easily to whatever flavor you are craving:

Basic recipe:

1 tablespoon of almond flour
1 tablespoon of coconut flour
1 tablespoon of flaxseed
sweetner to taste
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 egg
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
splash of extract of your choice

mix together in a mug and microwave 70-90 seconds on the high setting.  I've also poured it into a waffle maker and cooked it that way.

Make this recipe enough and you get a feel for the consistency it needs to be.  Now your flavor options!

Chocolate:  add 1-2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon water, splash of chocolate extract

Pumpkin:  up your flours by a smidge and add 1-2 tablespoons of canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to taste.

Lemon:  add lemon extract and/or lemon juice and some poppyseeds.

Maple:  add maple and butter extract.

You can also do a savory version by substituting olive oil for the coconut oil and adding a couple of spoonfuls of grated parmesan and to taste:  italian seasoning and garlic salt.

This is a very adaptable recipe that can be made to whatever your food dreams are.  It gets made in my home several times a week.
