Blueberry Cloud Muffin

DIRECTIONS

A touch of nutmeg helps the blueberries to pop and the protein provides a good start to your day.  Pop this in the microwave and be out the door in less than 5 minutes.

1. Place cream cheese in a microwave safe mug.  Heat for 10-15 seconds (enough to warm the cream cheese but not to fully melt it).
2. Add the egg and whisk it with the cream cheese.
3. Add the whey protein powder (use a protein powder that has 1g NC or less per serving, one serving is about 1 oz), baking powder, and nutmeg; whisk to combine.  Sprinkle blueberries over the top.  Heat the mug in the microwave for 1 min and 20 seconds (the blueberries need additional time to cook since they contain so much moisture).  Microwave times vary so you may need to increase the time by 10-20 seconds if it does not cook through.  Remove muffin by turning over onto a plate.  Run a knife around the inside of the mug to more easily release it.

If using frozen blueberries, consider adding half a packet (0.5 g) of stevia extract powder to sweeten. If you prefer more texture in your muffin, consider adding 1 tablespoon flax seed meal along with the protein powder.
