Apple Flax Seed Muffins
2015-02-18 09:15:28
Apple muffins are such a great snack or a good light breakfast option. I have been experimenting with my old recipes and changed this recipe to add more fiber. I also cut back on the butter and substituted applesauce. My children love homemade muffins, and I am always trying to give them great food and at the same time I am trying to keep them healthy. By adding just one cup of flax seed you can improve the fiber content of this recipe by 46 grams of fiber. Flaxseed is so good for you rich in antioxidants and omega 3 essential fatty acids. This powerful little seed helps combat heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. I add flaxseed to all my muffin recipes now. I would love to hear from you so please post a comment below or send me a message on Facebook!
