Flax Muffins on Phase 1?

moonstruck · 03-15-2008, 12:49 PM

Are these okay for Phase 1? I use flax and eggs in Phase 1 now and didn't see any other ingredients that are now allowed. Here is the link...

Stephanie, Carbquick is a processed food and not whole grain. It really isn't suitable for SB and esp not phase 1. There is a flax muffin somewhere that is only flax, egg, etc and is suitable. I htink it was one of Jake's recipes. I don't have the recipe, but you could do a search or maybe someone (Tina?) has it.

Thanks Rose!

I think this is the basic recipe.

1/4 cup Flax Meal
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 packet Splenda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Egg
1-2 teaspoons Butter

Mix the dry ingredients in a large coffee cup. Add egg and butter; mix well. Microwave for 50-seconds to 1-minute. Muffin pops right out.

We don't have a microwave, so we have not tried them.

The one minute muffins with cinnamon and sugar, have been my saving grace on days that I need a "baking fix" They really are good!!

this is the recipe that I have. I'm not a big fan of the flax so I don't eat them.

Hi Cindy, I'm doing pretty well...I veered off Phase 1 for one day and am back now. How are you? Thanks for the recipe!

jlieb62 · 03-17-2008, 10:15 AM

Just adding my two cents: Flax is freaking wonderful isn't it? I use at least a tablespoon everyday and it's easy enough to slip into just about anything... tuna cakes, salad, one-minute muffins, etc. Flax makes your colon happy.

I haven't in a while, have you?

lilymo · 03-18-2008, 01:14 PM

Thanks for answering this question. I asked it on another board (Atkins recipe board) but never did get an answer. I was thinking of making the LindaSues lemon poppyseed ones with lemon extract and almond flour. But I will make the flax ones for Phase 1 instead.

So what about the lemon poppyseed ones with almond flour? They sounds soooo good!

You'll probably have to watch portion size since we are limited on the nuts. But you should be able to have them.

I put a dollop of stevia sweetened lf cream cheese inside my raw muffin... topped it with raspberries and popped it into the nuker for 2 minutes instead of 1 1/2... YUM!!!

Wow, these one-minute flax muffin recipes look great! I am ALL about easy quick recipes that incorporate flax as well. I'm trying to increase my HDL cholesterol and another SB'er (luisafernanda) recommended walnuts. Do you think I could mix a tablespoon of chopped walnuts in with these flax muffins? I'll have to try that!
