Today’s breakfast needed to be fast… it ended up being tasty as well!
I made a minute muffin – todays included:
1/4 cup “flour” – half almond meal, half coconut flour
1 tablespoon lucuma powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 tablespoon earth balance
Lucuma powder is a natural sweetener. I’ve never seen a lucuma fruit, I’ve heard it resembles an orange, others say more like a persimmon. Lucuma has iron, beta carotene and niacin, and tastes sweet – almost like maple.
Lucuma is also raw, vegan, gluten free and kosher.
I love the flavor, it makes a pancake – sweet muffin. My mind is racing with so many ideas for lucuma!
Now I’m drinking what may be my favorite flavor of Herbal Water – the cinnamon orange peel – YUM. Refreshing and mild.
(Can you see someone’s sweet face in the photo…?)

I’ve never heard of lucuma before, but thanks for the tip. I always love to have easy recipes like that too. Have you ever made cake in a microwave? (Hmm…I’ve been craving chocolate all day too, so I might have to make some soon. It’s not amazing or anything, but it super easy and curbs my chocolate cravings when I don’t want to bake brownies or something.)
What a yummy muffin, may have to give it a try…thank you!
Enjoy!
I have lucuma powder, but I’ve never used it; thanks for the idea!
Cool, thanks for the info. I’ve never even heard of that before.
Huh…. I’ve never heard of that fruit!! I learn so much from other blogs
Thanks for the insight 
I had never heard of lucuma before this!
I love your variations of the insta-muffin! They look so much more flavorful than the plain old flax ones.
LOL, I see your baby trying to get in your shot, too precious.
I need to try more Herbal Water flavors bc the one I had was not my favorite, like drinking a leaf – haa.
ha!
I don’t know if Jason liked it either… the one I gave him he drank a little and gave back to me… I LIKE the taste of greens, tho, so the one that tastes like a leaf would probably be GOOD to me! 
isn’t Basil the cutest? hee…
I’ve never heard of lucuma before? How interesting! And I got one of those herbal waters in the swag bag from HLS! I need to try it out like STAT
We had that water in the swag bags at the Healthy Living Summit! At least you had another part of the summit with you
Hope we both go next year and can meet!
I had been wondering about this stuff for a while now – SO great to find someone who’s tried it to let me know what it’s like. Looks like I’m going to have to get some of this stuff to play around with
Linds
you definitely should – it tastes good… I’m going to make a vegan CHEESECAKE with it this weekend !
