Bran Flaxseed Muffins
I got this recipe on the back of Bob's Red Mill Organic whole ground flaxseed meal package. You can also buy organic flaxseed golden or brown in bulk and gently blend the seeds into meal.
Flaxseed is a must have high fiber plant that gently scrubs out the intestines. Flaxseed is also high in antioxidants as well as offers a plant version of omega-3! 2 tablespoons ensure effective benefits from this seed. This recipe is a satisfying way to get some flaxseed into your diet. Eat one muffin in the morning or like my beloved....eat them throughout the day.
This recipe, adored by my honey, may require a bit of prepping but the muffins are full of goodies that you can play around with adding yummy substitutions of your liking.
