I have been truly inspired by this whole Bowl-Muffin thing, it's TOO much fun and also nicely quick and easy (I'm back in school fulltime and classes START at 7:30 a.m., yuck!).
So I've read every single post and experiment, and I've been playing with this, trying out different stuff inspired by you all, and especially YOU, NancyLC
The Chicken & Sage was kinda cool, I liked the whole Bacon Egg McBowlMuffin thing, too. One thing I HAVE learned is that most of these (if without egg especially, they get a little dry) taste best while still warm. Preferably BUTTERED.
I haven't tried the Chocolate, that's next, but I did kind of fancy something with tang and zip today and was awfully hungry after classes, so instead of diving into the fridge, I decided to do the Lemon Thing I've been thinking about.
Here's the results, and let me tell you, it's YUMMY! This would make a pretty fine base for some whipping cream and raspberries or blueberries (some kind of affinity for lemon?)...

CQ Bowl Muffin - Lemon Butter
Recipe By : Judi IslandGirl, 'Carbers' Kitchen Counter™
Serving Size : 4
Preparation Time :0:10
Categories : 00-05G, DaVinci Gourmet SF Syrup, Muffins
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice -- 1 small lemon
1 tablespoon lemon zest -- same lemon
2 tablespoons syrup, sf DaVinci Lemon
1 whole large egg, veggie-fed free-range
75 grams CarbQuick Bake Mix -- 3/4 Cup
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
15 grams butter -- 1 Tbsp
1 tablespoon syrup, sf DaVinci Lemon
Using a small to medium size microwave proof bowl ('tupperware' style works well
and is very "nonstick", just pops out when warm), beat together the lemon, syrup
and egg til well-blended.
Spoon in the CQ and the baking powder, then stir together til smooth and evenly
blended.
Microwave for 2 minutes (1000 watts, turntable) or til firm to the touch on top.
Poke or score the top (still in the bowl and still warm) and lightly spread the
butter so it melts in; tip out onto a small plate and then score the 'new' top
into quarters or eighths (finger food size) and drizzle the final tablespoon of
DaVinci Lemon flavour syrup.
Scarf while still warm!
Serving Ideas : breakfast, snack, dessert....would be great with BERRIES on top!
