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.

Ingredients:

  • 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
  • Mixins as desired (see below)

Preparation:

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: Nutritional Information: Each serving has 1 gram effective carbohydrate plus 9 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 243 calories.

A few modifications, Guest aldell

This is good, but here's how I changed a bit: ~add tsp chia seeds for extra fiber and good stuff ~add 1/4 cup wheat bran ~double water ~few drops of vanilla extract ~sprinkle top with cinnanmon, unsweetened cocoa powder and stevia. Yum!
