Single Blueberry Muffin

You know when you're really craving a blueberry muffin? But you don't have enough time to whip up a batch, you don't want to wait, and you don't really want any leftovers? Here is the solution for a single blueberry muffin, that is mixed up in seconds and cooks just as quickly in the microwave. Perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast!

Single Blueberry Muffin
2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon water
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1 Tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
sugar to sweeten
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and blueberries. In a separate bowl, mix the flax and water together to form a paste, then add the remaining ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and still until just moistened, do not overmix. Place in a small greased mug and microwave on HIGH power (100%) for about 90 seconds. 

Note: I got this recipe idea from a website; it only made one muffin but baked it in the oven. I tailored the recipe for more efficient microwave use, but my first try didn't turn out great. This is the revised version, and I recommend following it exactly in order to achieve good results.
