At my house we do get tired of eating the same thing for breakfast week after week, month after month. I was playing around with a spice cake recipe that I have used in the past trying to make some high fiber breakfast muffins. (Did you know that Casa Linda = Test Kitchen) Seriously now, I am always experimenting with recipes, trying to make them healthier for my growing kids. I think this recipe scored very well with the family, and a few of the teachers! They were extremely moist and the ground flax seed added some nice texture to the recipe. The greatest part is that it added 46 grams of fiber to this recipe. How do you like them apples?!?!? (Flax seed!) I think these Pumpkin Muffins are perfect for breakfast or great for a school snack.
