I'm going through the process of changing how I eat. I am taking 58 years of eating one way abandoning it forever, because I know that it is bad for my body.
That still doesn't mean I don't crave pumpkin muffins. Because I do.
So, how do I live a quality of life that includes these special foods and still do what is right and good for myself? I look for a good substitute and I believe I have created one in the form of a pumpkin mug muffin.
The macronutrients on this baby are good for how I am healing my body, which is basically a keto style diet. Low carbs, medium proteins, and high HEALTHY fats. For one muffin, this has 222 calories, 1 g carb, 7 g protein and 20 g fat. This is without any kind of topping. I can deal with this!
Pumpkin Mug Muffin (for one)
2 T almond flour
1 T avocado oil (coconut oil works great, too!)
1 egg
2 T pumpkin puree
1 T Swerve (a granulated sugar substitute)
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t pumpkin pie spice
Mix together. Spray your mug with cooking spray for easy clean up. Pour into the mug. Microwave 60-90 seconds (the muffin will rise and not be shiny on top). Let set for a minute. Turn upside down and place on the plate. I like to add a little softened cream cheese to the top. Enjoy!
