You can call these flax cakes if you’re serving them to adults, but they taste better to children if you call them camping cakes.
- 3 tablespoons flax meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, virgin or liquid
1. Mix all ingredients in a cereal bowl. If you use room-temperature virgin coconut oil, it will be difficult to blend completely, but the lumps will resolve in the baking.
2. Cook approximately 1 minute 15 seconds in a microwave oven. Let cake sit for one minute. Swipe a knife around the inside of the bowl and remove the cake. Slice it in half horizontally to make two round slices.
3. Or bake: Make four recipes; pour into in a 12-count muffin pan; and bake in a 350F oven until golden brown. Skip step 4 below.
4. Toast in a toaster oven for about 3 minutes. Spread with butter or oil spread . Top with jam or syrup.
