Here you go: Muffin in a Minute...allowed on Induction...Serving Size: 1...1/4 cup flax meal (8.09 total carbs, 7.6 fiber)...1/2 teaspoon baking powder (0.64 net carbs)...1 packet splenda packet (0.9 net carbs) (I actually use sugar twin brown sugar, less carbs and tastes GREAT!)...1 teaspoon cinnamon (1.84 total carbs, 1.2 fiber)...1 large egg (0.6 net carbs)...1 teaspoon butter...(total carbs is 12.07, fiber is 8.8; net carbs is 3.27)...Put the dry ingredients in a coffee mug...Stir...Then add the egg and the butter...Mix...Microwave 1 minute (or more)...Take out...slice, butter, eat...you can also toast it in the toaster oven. Cream cheese would go nicely, too. The shape of this can be changed by making it in a bowl. It can be "toasted" once it's cooked. The cinnamon can be replaced. I would imagine that any sugar free syrup could be added. Some people count the flax as a carb/fiber wash, so then the net carbs would be 2.78.

Well thank you!! I need some flax meal then tonite from the store!  

You can also go to the link to recipes above, and search key word flax meal for recipes. You will see One Minute Flax Meal Muffin (I think it is called. You can then pull it into your cookbook and use it easily to your food diary. The recipe itself is pretty basic but Stef has suggested some really nice options as well.  

Ah, I can't take credit.....it was on the Atkins Support and Motivation group in the recipes forum...all I did was look it up! lol 

I looked for it at my store. no dice, goona have to look for flax elsewhere!  

WalMart should have it in the gluten free area.
