Best Healthy Muffin in a Cup Recipe
I just discovered an amazing Healthy Muffin in a cup recipe!!! I’m super excited. Can you tell?! Did you happen to see the Dr. Oz show today? His guest today was Tim Ferriss! As in the Tim Ferriss that has the best seller book Tim Ferriss’ Jumpstart: Supercharge and Reshape Your Body.
I love easy recipes that don’t require me to mess up my whole kitchen. This recipe is extremely healthy and it only takes a few minutes. I know first hand how important every minute is in the morning when you are trying to rush out the door. Balancing time and health is one of my biggest struggles so I can relate. I was super impressed with the breakfast muffin in a cup! I’ve done this before with a “cake in a cup” but nothing healthy like this!
Ingredients mixed in the cup before cooking it

In the microwave and done!! Voila!
Breakfast in a cup recipe:
1 tsp Coconut Oil (I had to run and find a deal of course! Amazon has it for only $7.07 when you check out using Subscribe & Save + free shipping)
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 packet of Stevia (sugar substitute)
Mix ingredients well in a microwavable coffee mug and cook for about 50 seconds. Allow to cool and flip over onto a plate. Voila! Heathly breakfast Muffin! Not bad tasting either!
UPDATE: Here’s another recipe on TheRepoWoman’s site that has been tweaked just a bit for a more moist taste! I’ve tried it and I really enjoy it!
Here is Tim Ferriss’s Kindle Edition book, The 4-Hour Body:

I’ve tried this & that amount of baking powder is too much! Tasted nasty! I made it again, w/only 1/8 t. and it was edible then!
This was so dry and I follow the directions. I am going to try again and I am going to add flour and apple sauce for moisture.
Does anyone have any idea on the amount of calories for this breakfast muffin
This tasted pretty good – I added a little cinnamon applesauce and it tasted really good – had to microwave it a little longer than 50 seconds.
is anyone besides myself allergic to Gogi Berries? They tasted delicious but the break out was’nt so nice.

Hi Jennifer, there’s no flour in this? It sounds like a sweetened egg. Maybe the ground flax seed acts like a flour? I’d like to try this as I have all of these ingredience. Thanks!
Yes! The Flax Seed does act like the Flour! I am tempted to make my kitchen into a science experiment today and see if I can make the texture of it a little less “gritty”
