- 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Butter (melted) or coconut oil
Instructions
In a small microwave-safe bowl or mug, combine the ground flax seed, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the egg, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Stir well until a smooth batter forms.
Optional: Add a few dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips if you'd like to enhance the flavor.
