Notes

1. Grinding flaxseeds - I ground up about ¼ cup of whole flaxseeds (enough to touch the blades) in a Vitamix, then scooped out 1 tablespoon for this recipe. You can also use flaxseed meal.

2. Choose the right mug - I use a 15 oz microwave-safe campfire mug because has a wide mouth that's perfect for mug cakes and muffins.

3. Mix thoroughly - Make sure to mix your ingredients thoroughly to avoid lumpy batter. You might also consider mixing the dry ingredients first and then add the wet ingredients. This helps to ensure everything is evenly distributed, but it should work out just fine if you mix until there are zero streaks of egg.

4. Microwaving - Microwaves vary in times and power so my biggest tip is to microwave for about 30 seconds, check it, microwave for 20 seconds, check it, then 10 more seconds to be sure it doesn't overcook. It's okay if it's a little underdone in the middle to maintain a moist texture.

5. Nutrition and carbs – Be aware that some recipe blogs omit sugar alcohols from the nutrition calculation. I have included it and calculated the net carbs. Always use a carb counter app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.

36.04 Total Carbs – 7.49 Fiber – 23.41 Sugar Alcohols = 5.14 Net Carbs per muffin
