Ingredients
1 T flax seeds1 c strawberries1 c quick oats1 c lowfat buttermilk1 c oat flour1 t baking powder1/2 t baking soda1 t salt1 whole egg1/4 c unsweetened applesauce3/4 c brown sugar1 t vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin pans with nonstick spray or line with paper liners. Use a clean coffee grinder to roughly grind the flax seeds, trying not to process them into a mealy texture. (You can use pre-ground flax if that's what you have on hand.) Hull (remove the leaves) and chop the strawberries. In a small bowl, combine the oats and buttermilk, and let stand at room temperature for five minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the egg, applesauce, and brown sugar for 3 minutes at medium speed. Add the vanilla and combine. Blend in the oat-buttermilk mixture. Stir in the flour mixture just to combine. Try not to overwork the mixture. Fold in the strawberries. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and top with a sprinkle of flax seed. Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
