Here is a great muffin recipe. I found it on the back of a package of Bob’s Red Mill brand Flax Seed Meal. While I do not crave them like I would a blueberry muffin, for example, I know that they are much better for me. I think that they would be good with jam — but I just eat them with my healthy butter.
Bran Flax Muffins
1 1/2 cups White Flour, Unbleached
3/4 cup Flaxseed Meal
3/4 cup Oat Bran Cereal
1 cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Cinnamon
1-1/2 cups finely shredded Carrots
2 peeled and shredded Apples
1/2 cup Raisins (optional)
1 cup chopped Nuts (I used walnuts and toasted them before adding)
3/4 cup Milk
2 beaten Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix together flour, flaxseed meal, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in carrots, apples, raisins (if desired) and nuts. Combine milk, beaten eggs and vanilla. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until ingredients are moistened. DO NOT OVER MIX. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
Yield: 15 medium muffins
