These healthy and delicious little brownie muffins are so good for a breakfast on the go. They are low carb as there is no refined flour in it, thanks to the use of ground flax, and I used Stevia instead of sugar. They taste slightly sweet, but not overly so, and have the texture of a cake like brownie. You could add many different things to it to make it different, a touch of cinnamon, a T of applesauce, some dried berries, or some non dairy chocolate chips just to name a few. This version however is simple. I now double this recipe I like it so much.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup flax meal
1/4 cup almond flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
2 T of psyllium husk powder
3 T of 100% unsweetened cocoa powder
4 T of powdered Stevia (or use your own favorite sweetener)
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 cup +- of warm water with 5 drops of pure vanilla extract stirred into it.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, starting with dry ingredients first, then add water and stir well. Then wet hands, remove from bowl and knead the dough for a couple minutes. Return to bowl, cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
Separate dough into 12 even size pieces and place in muffin cup liners. Bake for approx 30 minutes give or take (keep your eye on them). They don't rise a whole lot. Let cool completely (no cheating or they stick to the paper and don't taste as good) , but Enjoy! I found that a small dab (1/4 tsp or so) of your favorite nut butter over the top is excellent! We'll just call that the icing. :) Enjoy!! Each muffin is approx 85 calories and 2 net carbs.
