I have been on a diet journey since my midd twenties, but as I entered my forties the scale climbed me steady up to 89 kilogram and I knew I had to loose weight! After I discovered recently that I was becoming insulin resistant I had a new urgency in my life to loose weight. Not just to loose it but find a lifestyle of loosing it. I decided to go by the way of LOW CARB EATING. This blog is about my journey..... the good and the bad.....

BUN IN A MUG -
BUN IN A MUG!
This recipe has really added to my life. It makes me feel that I am eating bread. I am not an extreme bread lover but sometimes I feel like something I can pile my tuna salad, egg salad or cold meats etc. on. Flax seed meal is not the greatest tasting but it works.
2T ground flax seed meal
2T ground almond meal
1T coconut oil, olive oil or even mayonnaise
pinch of salt
1/2t baking powder
1 egg
I mix it in a large coffee mug until well blended and put in the microwave on high for 1 minute.
Drop the bun out and slice it in circles. Sometimes I want something thinner and slice it in three and sometimes for something more handy I slice it in two.
The whole bun only has 3 net carbs.

Where do you buy the flax seed and almond meal?
ReplyDeleteFlaxseed I buy at our local grocery store and they grind it for me too. It consists where you live? Almonds I just buy a packet and grind them in my kitchen aid or coffee grinder. You would buy flaxseeds and just grind them in the coffee grinder too. I hope you get to find them where you live.

ReplyDeleteI made the "Bun in the Mug" the first time today, because I couldn't find any flax seeds in Oman - Nico brought me some from SA now.
I am hooked!! It is delicious!!
