Ingredients
Directions
1 T flax seeds1 c blueberries1 c quick oats1 c lowfat buttermilk1 c whole wheat flour1 t baking powder1/2 t baking soda1/4 t cinnamon1 t salt1 whole egg1/4 c unsweetened applesauce3/4 c brown sugar
Preheat oven to 375°F. 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.)
Wash and dry the blueberries. 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, cinnamon, and salt; mix with a fork to blend and set aside.
In a large bowl and using a hand mixer, beat the egg, applesauce, brown sugar at medium speed for 3 minutes. Blend in the oat-buttermilk mixture.
Stir in the flour mixture only to combine, try not to overwork the mixture. Fold in the blueberries.
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.

These were very good! Amazing actually. I got 14 and filled the tin plenty full. I did not unthaw the blueberries and they turned out just fine. More like a dessert than a breakfast treat. I will probably cut sugar down and maybe substitue with apple juice concentrate instead. Too much sugar mmm! - 9/10/09

I made these as mini muffins. I divided them up in pairs and put in snack bags and froze them and so now I just pull out a bag to thaw in the fridge overnight and they make great grab items! A hit with the whole family! We learned how to make these at the Spark Your Life Convention in Cincinnati. - 10/11/09
