Yesterday’s Net Carbs were 29.69g. Activity & Exercise was 1,755 Calories. I’m starting a new Mini-Goal of getting 20g Dietary Fiber each day this week, then increasing to 25g/day next week, and 30g/day the week after that. I had a colonoscopy about a month ago, and the doctor’s recommendation was to get 20-30g of Fiber a day. After not being as “regular” in my bathroom habits, I think it’s time to heed the doc’s advice.
I spent about an hour researching Flaxseed this morning – its benefits, uses & recipes. I found (and modified slightly) a recipe I’m calling “High-Fiber 1-Minute Flax Muffins.” ONE muffin carries 12.2 grams of Fiber – a whopping 49% of the RDA of 25g! I made it, and it was GOOD! I’m going to share the recipe here. Hopefully, it will keep enough of the formatting to be readable.

INGREDIENTS
Milled Flaxseed – 1/4 cup
Baking Powder – 1/2 tsp.
Stevia in the Raw – 1 tsp.
Cinnamon – 1 tsp.
Pecan Halves – 1/4 cup
Liquid Coconut Oil – 1 tsp.
Eggland’s Best Egg – 1
INSTRUCTIONS
Place ingredients into a small blender cup in order listed (dry ingredients first). Pulse a few seconds until just blended (you still want chunks of nuts).
Transfer batter to microwave-safe coffee cup or mug. Smoothen top.
Microwave on High for 60 seconds (don’t be tempted to cook longer).
NOTE: Batter will be moist at first and can be eaten out of the cup with a spoon or fork. As it hardens, you may need to pick it up to eat it.
OPTIONAL: Remove to saucer, slice in half, and top with butter or cream cheese icing.
OTHER OPTIONS: You can experiment by adding one-eighth to 1/4 tsp. of Banana Extract, Maple Extract, Vanilla Extract (or anything else that sounds good).
DISCLAIMER: This recipe isn't "set in stone" yet, as I will continue experimenting until what I feel is the best version, and I'm not going to submit it to FS until I have it perfected AND can get a couple good pix.
