This Keto Strawberry Muffin fits perfectly into that sweet spot for a sweet craving. It makes a perfect muffin for quick breakfast or dessert.
This muffin is moist, top it with whipped cream and you have a delicious dessert.
It’s no dissimilar to a mug cake (it is, in fact, a mug cake) and you can make this in your oven or microwave.

In a bowl, add in the melted butter (or microwave for 15 seconds to melt it), add the Keto sweetener, vanilla extract, and the egg and give it all a good mix till well combined.

Now add your dry ingredients to the bowl - the almond flour, baking powder and cinnamon powder and mix well.

Add in the chopped strawberries and gently fold through the mixture.  

Grease an microwave proof ramekin with butter and pour in the batter. Top with a couple of strawberries.  Microwave on high for 90 seconds. If a toothpick poked through the center comes out clean, your muffin is done.

Serves 2
Ingredients
1 Cup Oats
1½ Cup Water
1½ Cup Milk
2 Tablespoons Honey
Handful chopped nuts and fruits (Dates, Almonds,Cashew nuts, Walnuts and Raisins)
1 Teaspoon Chia Seeds

Method

In a saucepan , combine water and  milk,  bring to boil on  medium low flame

then add the oats and give it a quick stir,

Now add the honey and  chia seeds mix in well, keep stirring for 3 - 4 minutes  or till the porridge thickens a little.
Keep stirring in so that it is not burnt at the bottom.

When the oats is  cooked, turn off flame and transfer the contents to a serving bowl,

 Drizzle a little honey
The porridge will further thicken as it starts to cool , so adjust your water and milk quantities accordingly.

Here is the goodness of fruits

Sprinkle all the chopped nuts and fruits on top.  

Enjoy  this healthy breakfast!!
My Notes

Can use any type of oats.
Feel free to add or skip the nuts.
Vegans or lactose intolerant people can use  almond milk,  soy milk or coconut milk instead.

Fig / Anjeer Milk Shake #FoodieExtravaganza

Dried Figs or Fresh Figs are very commonly available almost everywhere and this is widely consumed in India and other countries. Figs, whether fresh or dried, are rich in powerful antioxidants.The fig trees can live up to 100 years, that why many people in India touch their head to this tree , so that, they too will have long and healthy life. 

Figs have a unique taste and texture. They are sweet and chewy. The smoothness of the fruit and the crunchiness of its seeds make a beautiful combination to eat. Dried figs are available throughout the year whereas fresh figs are available in summer.

Here the weather is so hot and sticky, this drink is perfect to cool your body. I,  have not added any extra sugar for sweetness. Wanted the natural taste and sweetness of the Figs. This is a diabetic friendly drink. Can add a tablespoon or more of caster sugar according to your taste.

November 1-7th is National Fig Week. Our Host Camilla M. Mann - Event for Foodie Extravaganza {Party},  asked us to share recipes that celebrate the mighty fig ( fresh or dried ).
