Easy Breakfast Flax Pudding
Shadowwalker called me out the other day to tell me I'm slacking on my recipes and I couldn't agree more lol But I just haven't made anything new lately! So here's something I haven't tried before until this morning, and it was actually very tasty! It's definitely a nice break from eggs every morning :p
I found this recipe on About.com and was super quick and easy :)
[b]Easy Flax Breakfast Pudding[/b]
This "pudding" can be put together in the microwave in 3-4 minutes. You can add berries or other "mix-ins" - see suggestions below. The flax gives it lots of fiber and good fat, plus a nice nutty flavor.
[u]Ingredients:[/u]
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup water (some of the liquid can be sugar-free syrup, if desired)
1 egg
Sugar substitute to taste (I used about 1 packet Stevia)
Mixins as desired (see below)
[u]Preparation: [/u]
Mix flax meal, egg, and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds. Move the cooked part of the pudding towards the center of the bowl and add any mix-ins you want. Microwave for about 45-60 more seconds, depending on mix-ins (frozen fruit will need even longer cooking, as it will cool down the pudding). Stir and eat.
Possible Additions:
Fresh or frozen berries or other fruit (Low Carb Fruit List)
Unsweetened coconut
Peanut butter or other nut butters
Small cubes of cream cheese (any fat level)
Sugar-free maple or other syrup
Sugar-free jam or preserves
Chopped nuts
Nutritional Information: Each serving has 1 gram effective carbohydrate plus 9 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 243 calories.
Notes:
One commenter suggested using 1/4 cup heavy cream instead of the egg and said that it was just like Cream of Wheat and tasted delicious
Also, I suggest microwaving it the second time around for only 45 seconds so that it is still a little pasty, mine was a little too solid - but was SO good! You could definitely play around with this recipe and make it your own
(for you hungrier men, you could even double the recipe and still be under 600 calories)
My macros: 275 calories, 18g fat, 9g fiber, 11.8g carbs, 13.6g protein
*I followed the recipe exactly, and my "mix-in" was a 1/2T almond butter
(2.8g net carbs)
