There have been many versions of this skinny muffin floating around the internet lately. The original had a bit too much fat in my eyes, even though it was good fat. So for whatever it’s worth, here is my version. I love it! It keeps me full a long time and makes my tummy happy.
1/4 cup ground flax seed (easily ground in a coffee maker)
2 egg whites
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup grated carrots
1 T sliced almonds
1 packet Stevia (use raw honey if you don’t like Stevia)
Put it all in a microwavable mug and mix well. Microwave for 90 seconds. Voila!

You are welcome!
