Bran flax muffins

[this is the healthiest muffin we know of and still good tasting; Cathy often doubles the recipe). We got the recipe off Bob’s Red Mill Flaxseed meal (with essential Omega 3 fats].

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cup unbleached white flour
  • ¾ cup flaxseed meal
  • ¾ cup oat bran
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking power
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups carrots, shredded
  • 2 apples, peeled and shredded
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
  • 1 cup nuts, chopped
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

  • Mix together flour, flaxseed, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  • Stir in carrots, applies, raisins, 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 ¾ full.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Yields 15 medium muffins.
