Moist Microwave Muffins

These make up so quickly and easily and there is no need to preheat your oven.   A tasty way to have a muffin that has no fat and lots of flavor.

They make a nice, light breakfast with a piece of fruit, or a good snack.  The key to success is in leaving them long enought to cool, to handle easily.  I used organic spelt flour but whole wheat would probably work nicely, too.

During cooking the batter rises quite high, and then falls during cooling.

The non-stick spray is essential.
