Cinnamon Walnut Muffin in a Mug (S)

Ya'll know I like my mug recipes!  I've got a bunch of them.  Well, today I think I made my new favorite.  I was a happy, Trim Healthy Mama.   I took my core muffin recipe and just added some cinnamon and walnuts!  The topping was new for me though and much lower in fat than my normal butter and cream cheese!  Yes!

Cinnamon Walnut Muffin in a Mug (S)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbs. of coconut oil(melted)
  • 1 Tbs. of water
  • 1 Tbs. of 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp. of vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp. of baking powder (aluminum free)
  • 1.5 Tbs. of coconut flour
  • 1.5 Tbs. of flax meal
  • 1/2 Tbs. of THM’s Sweet Blend (or 1 TBS. of Truvia)
  • cinnamon..I did like 3 shakes
  • 1 Tbs. of chopped walnuts ***Instead of the flax and coconut flour, use 3 Tbs of THM Baking Blend!
Mix it all together vigorously! (I consider it part of my workout!)  I bake it in the microwave for 1 minute and check it.  If it's a little wet on top I do about 20 more seconds!  You don't want to over bake it!    If you enjoy the oven for baking, 350 for about 12 minutes .  Mine bakes HOT so I'd check it sooner. For the topping, I did something new and LOVED IT!!!
  • 1 wedge of Light Swiss Laughing Cow Cheese
  • approved sweetener
  • two shakes of cinnamon
I mixed it together really well and spread it on the top of my muffin when it was baked.  I LOVED it!!!  My go-to topping before was:
  • 1 tbs. of butter
  • 1 tbs. of cream cheese
  • approved sweeter
  • drop of vanilla
Mixed it together well after I warmed it for 10 seconds in the microwave.  It's very yummy as well!  So, now you have two options!  I've also used sweetened greek yogurt on top! 🙂 I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!  I felt like I was eating a cinnamon roll...well, a healthy one!

    This is delish! My diabetic husband loves bread and is struggling to give it up. He loved it! Thanks

    What if you don’t have coconut flour?? What can you sub for it?

  5. Jenna

    Looks great! I am still new to THM and loving the results so far! One question, as I’m picking up ingredients as the budget allows… can I sub oat or almond flour for the flax meal? I have coconut, oat and almond flour. Seems like every time I find a new recipe to try, it has one ingredient that I haven’t gotten yet. 🙂

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      I’d probably do about 1/2 cup of coconut in it’s place of the flax…it takes up more moisture. 🙂 That’s my best guess…you could do 2 cups of almond, I’d guess as well. I’ve note tried it any other way yet! 🙂

    I’ve made this twice now and it’s delicious – just to make sure I’m not messing up is this considered one serving or two?

  9. Evie Rosales

    THANK YOU!! I tried this looking for something to try my banana extract with…was this a winner! I tried it with a 1/2 teaspoon of banana extract. SO YUMMY!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      No, I don’t. I don’t do any nutritional facts on my recipes.

  11. Laurie

    This is DELICIOUS!!!! Oh my goodness…… This will be one of my new breakfast items. Thank you for sharing!!

  12. Amanda

    I automatically thought of sour cream since I have it to sub for Greek yogurt.yum

  13. Wendy

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was soooo good! I just shared it with the thm fluffys group, hope that’s ok. You are my hero! Seriously no idea how much I appreciate what you do. Thank you <3

  14. Wendu

    Oh my gosh! This is so good! It’s taking all I have to not make a second helping. I added what coffee was left over in my cup to mix my frosting. Yummo!!

    I have one constructive comment: List the ingredients with the dry ingredients first so that first time users and rewriters of the recipe don’t have to use 2 different tablespoons or wash in between scoops of wet and dry.
    I have given this recipe to several people and keep forgetting to reorder the list myself when writing. My pretty recipe cards thank you in advance. hahah!
    this is truly a delicious recipe. Also, kefir works in place of the greek yogurt.

  16. Abby

    I have tried 2 of your recipes and they have been spot on!! I am a “newbie”!! Can I sub the coconut/flax and baking blend(dry ingredients) for ground oatmeal?? Only thing on hand and want to make this TODAY!! 🙂

  17. daisy

    This was Amazing!! My 3 year old stole half from me and is asking me to make it again

  18. Charmel

    I love this and love trying it new ways. I sometimes use pecans. Sometimes I leave out the nuts and replace the vanilla with almond extract and then put a smear of peanut butter on the hot muffin. That is my favorite way!!!!

  19. LindainCO

    OMG OSHKOSH! So GOOD! I will try the other ideas too, but this is my “go to” breakfast!
