For the 4th of July I decided to take my patriotism to a new level via the skinny muffin, of course. A red, white, and blue muffin just so happens to be good on any day of the week, though, even the 5th of July, which I found out for myself this morning.
Here's how the Red, White, & Blue Skinny Muffin is made.
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1-ince slice of a medium banana, mashed
1 cage-free egg
2 packets Xylitol natural sweetener (Xylitol comes from the fibrous parts of plants, and compared to table sugar, it has a very low glycemic index and 40% fewer calories. I buy XyloSweet.)
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 medium strawberry, diced
10 small fresh blueberries
1. Stir together everything except the strawberries and blueberries in a coffee mug.
2. Carefully fold in the berries.
3. Microwave for 75 seconds.
4. Remove from microwave and turn mug upside down to let muffin fall onto a plate.
5. Enjoy, and maybe even exclaim, "Happy birthday, America!" if you so desire.

This is one of your suggestions I have yet to try. I trust you on a lot of things Kates but they just looks so funky! You have blogged about them so much, I just might have try it.
Maybe you can start calling them the Funky Muffin.:) I do love them, as you've noted. I actually made an apricot skinny muffin a few times this week—I just love the experiment and potential great discovery! Give it a try and let me know what you think.
I love how convenient and healthy they are, plus how they make only one serving so you can personalize for each person. There's something childlike about getting your own muffin in a mug, and it gets me excited every time.
