I am looking forward to trying these. Are they of a bready consistency? I must admit the method has me a little puzzled as I am not sure how to whisk an egg in a ramekin without spilling it!

We have a mini whisk that would work I suppose but might get a bit messy the more ingredients you add haha, use a wee milk frother lol x

I love the way your brain works Radders. Doesn't everyone know to beat an egg, that you first have to arrange a race with it?

 

[Wirrallass]

Yes I see where you're coming from on that point @Radders - I don't suppose it really matters which receptacle we use in which to whisk the egg so long as the said ingredients are all whisked together 🙂 then pour the mixture into a ramekin - easy peasy - as the title of this thread says in the singular *muffin* not *muffins* - so the recipe implies its for making just one single muffin!!! Have fun making your one & only single muffin!!

Just had one with butter and a large slice of tomato on each half. Along with a plate of Celery, Kale and onion soup. Tasty lunch. 🙂

I used brown Linseeds ( milled ) instead of flax seed. I also added a teaspoon of roughly ground pumpkin seeds.
This might have altered the carb. content, although I think the original 2.6 carbs. might be a bit conservative...... anyway, it was tasty.

I thought linseeds and flaxseeds were the same thing! Glad you liked it. Acid test question is will you be making it again?

Definitely, so quick and easy. Also it might be worth adapting the recipe with other ingdredients. Don't know my Lin from my flax.🙂

Seriously considering making this for breakfast to have with my mackerel fillets.

Is there an alternative to linseed/flaxseed, cause like Tom Kerridge's Almond bread I find the taste of linseed quite revolting (memories of cricket bats and my wife says hockey sticks).
