Yeah it would...it holds up to sloppy Meatball sammies. You may want to toast it a bit first. It will hold up to any condiments better that way-

I want to make these in silicon muffin cups in the over. I think I would make them little, half the size of a OMM. Anyone have any idea about how long to cook and at what temp?

[valf]

WOW! I've read about this forever and finally made one. WOW!

I used a Corelle bowl and it blew up to the top! And stayed that big!

I used 2 tsp. Log Cabin sugar free maple syrup
1 tablespoon of butter (misread it was supposed to be teaspoon)
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 extra large egg
Left out the cinnamon and Splenda.

It was perfect! I can't wait to experiment with this! Maybe not sweet enough for some people, but plenty sweet for me as I've been low carbing for a couple of years and don't use sweetener much.

Thank you!

I used one for a sausage, egg, and cheese muffin and it was heavenly! I made the one-minute muffin (without cinnamon), spilt it in half to make it open face, topped it with sausage patty, egg, and sharp cheddar; then put it in the microwave to melt the cheese. This was SO good and filling. I could only eage half of it!

Also, we went on a picnic for Labor Day, and I used one to make my lunchmeat and cheese sandwich. It was a bit awkward because of the shape, but again... it really filled me up. Now I need to experiment with different shaped containers to make it more versatile.

By the way, I made one without cinnamon or sugar and it was yuk. It really does need a bit of sweetner, even if you are using it for a sandwhich.

Finally got the seasonings right (for my taste) for the savory muffin today. Used coconut oil for the fat, added a dash of salt and a good shake of Mrs. Dash original seasoning. It made a PERFECT hamburger bun. You could still taste the bread, but it didn't overpower or take away from the burger & toppings. I split it and toasted it, so it stood up to mayo, pickles and two VERY juicy slices of tomato!

[speedy]

ummm I just made the chocolate muffin with the golden flaxmeal wow is that thing ever good .

[oceandiva]

I love these. After cooking in the mic I cut them in half and toast them--gives them a great crusty feeling. I no longer miss a muffin or donut after having these. Thanks for the posts!

I made this today but it tasted way too eggy. Wonder why?

I've made a few of them and did have one come out eggy, but most of the time it's not. I think when I skimped on the baking powder, the muffin came out more flat and eggy. So, I'd say give it another try and measure everything accurately. And maybe check the expiration date on your baking powder. I also add an extra 10 seconds to make sure it's cooked through. Maybe your egg wasn't cooked through enough.

1/4 cup flaxseed
1 splenda packet
1/2 tsp cinnamon (some use a whole tsp; I often leave it out entirely)
1/2 tsp baking powder
Dab of butter or oil of whatever
1 egg

[3bees~1flower]

try using 1/2 c flax instead of 1/4. i like it much better with more dry stuff to help with it being too eggy.

here's what i do:

1/4c golden flax
1/4c oat fiber
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8-1/4 tsp sea salt
2T HC
2T water
1-2T butter or sour cream (i love it sour cream)
1-2T liquid splenda or sweetener of choice to sweetness desired.

you need the extra fluid b/c the oat fiber sucks it all up and then it's too dry.

I luv luv luv this recipe...I was having a real hard time getting back to LCing,this recipe so kept me on track!Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does feel like I'm cheating...it keeps me full for a longgggggg time...I can't wait to make another one in the morning!

I tried this, and I find that wherever it says flax seed meal, I split that amount up with almond meal, then you get the body, but it's not so coarse and fiber-y.

I made a double-batch, using 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of each flax seed meal, and almond meal, 1 tsp. baking powder, and I wanted to make it more like bread than sweet muffin, so I added salt, garlic powder, dried basil.

I zapped it for 3 minutes, let it cool. cut it in half horizontally, like a two-layer cake, and then I put butter on both "slices" and made myself a glorious grilled cheese sandwich.

Honestly, the part that was grilled and had that wonderful fried butter flavor and crispiness like regular bread, that I had to keep reminding myself that this was not regular bread, and the sandwich was too large because it was a double batch I made. But what I love is that I think this may work as well as the rev rolls or the oopsie rolls if one becomes tired of either of those.

I think it's wonderful to find recipes like these that help you enjoy what you used to enjoy, but without any damages (weight gain, ill health, etc.).

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their recipes, and the different ways of making them their own.

I also have one posted under this category if you are looking for an authentic looking, and tasting peanut butter cookie. I tweaked the one already on this recipe board, and perhaps someone can tweak the one I tweaked... and make it even better! I named it "A better mousetrap peanut butter cookies," but if you do a search on it, begin with the word, "Better", because it rejects a singular letter like "A". I included a photo.

Take care everyone!

I used to love flax, but after a few months of not eating LC and having rice based gluten free stuff occasionally (and gaining a few of the old KGs) I don't find it palatable on it's own as a savoury base like I used to.

I can still easily tolerate the flavour in pancakes and flavoured muffins, it's when I try to use it for savoury that I struggle with the intense flaxy flavour.

Maybe I just need to season it differently for savoury (i.e. garlic, herbs, salt etc) instead of having it as a standalone. I might also add some psyllium husk as a neutral filler with it.

Once I have finished with ReInduction I might mix the flax (which I blend into a flour with a coffee grinder) with almond and/or coconut flours.

[Sandbird]

This sounds awesome. I have't tried flax meal yet, but plan on it after this thread. I want one of those little sucker bad!

[bekki1]

Can you put pumpkin in these? Not the spice but real pumpkin?

[3bees~1flower]

bekki...i have and it worked great...a T or 2.

[Coookie311]

Just wanted to say I was looking for something a little sweet today and of course bread is the one thing I miss most! Well, these little muffins filled both of my needs! I will be making these again.

[Kissa]

They are the best!

[Charski]

I think I made this a long while back with the flax and just wasn't wild about it - but I'm not a huge fan of flaxmeal anyway.

Today I made it with blanched almond meal and oh my! It's very very tasty! I made it in a small Pyrex baking dish (holds about 12 ounces) and it came to the top while cooking, and settled only a small amount with cooling. I split it and ate with butter and SF apricot jam. It was QUITE filling! Thanks to reading through this thread again, I've found something quick and yummy when I get a muffin craving!

Char, I like it too with the almond flour / meal. If a recipe calls for a few breadcrumbs, I'll just nuke a 1-minute almond muffin and it works great. Really is good...I used it last night actually in a stuffed chop recipe.

I was slicing the muffin in half and started nibbling...it was really good, just plane, as-is. The carbs are negligible (for me) and the taste to me is better than flax too.

[Charski]

I made another one this morning, using almond flour PLUS the addition of 1 teaspoon of flax meal. I portioned into 2 wells of my silicone muffin pan and poked 3 dried cherries into each one - nuked 45 seconds - BOY they are good! Nice breakfast, two muffins, filled me up (split and topped 'em with butter) and so easy!

[Kissa]

These are just so flexible.

I find if I want them to be savoury I use a little more flax along with the almond flour. I add things like parmesan, herbs and garlic and onion powder or flakes. It gives them a firmer texture which I like.

I use the savoury ones to make 'toast' on which I then grill cheese. Or just with a spread.

The sweet ones are just wonderful, my super slim DH likes them too!

[STEGOSAURUS!]

i got a question about these... so if you omit the splenda packet it goes from 1.5 carbs to .7 right? because its just the egg carbs because flax meal has the same amount of fiber as it does carbs... right?

[Blkats7]

These are awesome!! I made it according to the recipe and it was wonderful. Reminded me a little of Boston Brown Bread, which I love and have to stay away from. I did not find the recipe eggy at all. I was quite surprised. I let it cool and just sliced in thin slices and spread with cream cheese. I will also try the almond flour ones. I read that if you make your own flour and use raw nuts with the skin on, it lowers the carb count a little.

I am so glad that I have been visiting this site. You all are great and your suggestions have helped me reach my mini goal of 200 lbs (down from 229). This is the longest that I have been able to stay with the program and I owe a lot of that to the good people here. I know that I will keep going forward.

[STEGOSAURUS!]

just made these tonight and OMG to die for... didnt spread enough butter on them though :/
