Flax Muffins Recipes

Low-fat buttermilk and applesauce help lower the fat, and the whole-wheat flour and flax seed add fiber. These healthful muffins freeze well!

These muffins came out sooo good! They make a great breakfast, snack or after workout snack.
With 30 grams of Carbs, 4 grams of healthy fat and 5 grams of protein, I call them my "power muffins".
Enjoy!

These are so moist and chocolatey I can't believe they are so healthy. They are a very filling and a great low carb treat.

I buy pre-ground flax meal, but you can grind your own.

I grind my almonds in a blender by putting only a small handful in at a time and pulsing the blender. Don't run continuously or you'll have almond butter. You can also buy pre-ground almonds.

This recipe takes a little extra time, but it's so worth the effort as these muffins are delicious!

Almond milk, almond meal flour and applesauce help lower the carbs and calories, and the whole-wheat flour and flax seed add fiber. My twist further reduces calories by using Stevia and Molasses instead of brown sugar for 100 calorie snacks!

Very soft, chunky, chewy muffins that are a little sweet but not overly so. I think you cannot tell the difference between the flax and a good whole-wheat flour, but my husband says that they have a little bit of a stronger taste. I think that the flax substitutes for the wheat perfectly, but he says he can tell, but still likes them. Everybody's different, so try them out and see for yourself!

There are multiple variations on a theme that you could make with these muffins, depending on whether you're just going gluten-free or also trying to reduce your sugars. The full recipe (all optional ingredients) makes each muffin 155.1 kcal (6.3 g fiber, 7.6 g sugars). If you're wanting to reduce your carbs, without the turbinado sugar you drop to 147.6 kcal (6.3 g fiber, 5.6 g sugars). By dropping sugar + fresh apple + raisins, you drop down to 128.9 kcal (5.9 g fiber, 2.0 g sugars). This recipe is very flexible and you can easily add or take away any ingredients you want. I also make this same recipe with bananas instead of the applesauce and apple chunks, but add a little olive oil to keep them moist.

Be careful about over-baking these muffins. I often bake them until the toothpick comes out clean (~20 minutes), but they will still be a bit soggy on the inside because of the apple chunks. I refrigerate them overnight, and then microwave for 1-1.5 minutes when I want to eat them, which finishes baking the insides. I get a soft, piping hot muffin that goes great with my morning coffee and a couple of eggs!

Note that if you want a nut that will stay crunchy, substitute a harder nut like walnuts or pecans for sliced almonds. I like that they get a little chewy, but you may not.

Came up with this simple breakfast muffin while experimenting with different gluten-free flours in my pantry.

Healthy and satisfying with a tasty pop of blueberry.

This is a yummy recipe for a low cal and low fat muffin! The recipe can make anywhere between 6-8 muffins depending on how hearty you like your muffins. These muffins don't raise very much while baking so add more batter than you'd usually add to your muffin cups for a heartier muffin :)

Moist, and tasty. Great addition to breakfast or snack in between breakfast and lunch!

Huge Healthy Moist Muffins. Great after a long workout!
Adapted from Jen's Gone Paleo. Thanks Jen!

this recipe is on the back of Red Mill's Flax Seed Meal. I decreased the sugar by 1/2. The muffins are still sweet b/c of the carrots, raisins, apples.

Well, I wanted to make mini banana nut muffins and the more I thought about it I wanted oats and flax meal. So, here is what I came up with. These are not super sweet, if you like your bake good sweeter you may want to add about 1/4 more brown sugar.

I wanted to bake low-carb, high fiber muffins in the oven, and make a batch, so, I looked at some different recipes and decided to put together my own. These turned out pretty good too! :)
