Hi everyone,
I'm pretty big on healthy, on the go type of stuff. I altered a tuna muffin recipe I found. It's a little odd in taste, and may not be for everyone, but it's very rich in good for you stuff, and only 1 carb a piece! (I eat two with a salad for lunch, and one whenever I need a quick snack before running.)
12 oz tuna in water, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup flaxmeal
3 eggs
2 tbl butter
1/4 heavy cream (I used a little less)
1 tsp baking powder
seasoning to taste (I used paprika, little bit of onion powder, red pepper)
Season tuna as desired. Mix baking powder with flaxmeal, mix with tuna. Add in shredded cheese.
In seperate container, melt butter, beat in eggs, add half the 1/4 cup heavy cream. Mix with tuna/flaxmeal/cheese mixture. If it seems too dry, add remainder cream.
Grease muffin tins, spoon into tins, bake at 325 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes, until knife comes cleanly out.
Makes 12 small muffins, with the tuna and flaxmeal it's a great source of omega 3 fatty acids. Good source of protein as well. The taste is undescribable really. I like it- a blend of the nutty flaxmeal, tuna and cheese.
