Healthy Morning Flax Muffins
As you can imagine, I'm a little selective about the food I give my kids. So, coming up with food that is both nutritious and kid friendly is always my goal. These muffins are just that! My 14 month old literally could not stop with these! I was SO pleased:)
These muffins are moist and just sweet enough. For pickier kids, I would suggest pureeing the carrots and apples so they wont know whats inside.
Yield: approx. 18 muffins
Ingredients:
DRY:
- 1 C. Whole wheat flour
- 3/4 C. Flax seed meal
- 1/2 C. Almond flour
- 1/2 C. Oat flour (oats can be put in blender and coarsely ground)
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
WET:
- 1 Extra large egg
- 1/2 C. Walnut oil
- 1/4 C. Maple syrup
- 2 heaping TBSP Brown sugar
- 1 C. shredded or pureed Carrots - equal to about 3 or 4 carrots
- 1 C. shredded or pureed Apples- equal to about 3 small apples
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375° F. and line muffin tins with paper or spray with oil.
- Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl and set aside.
- In the order listed, place all the wet ingredients in a large blender (I used my VitaMix). Pulse till everything is combined and the carrots and apples are finely ground or pureed. You may need to give the mixture a mix or two to help with grinding process.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry one and gently mix until combined.
- Use a large cookie scooper to fill the muffin tins. 1 scoop per muffin. Bake at 375 F. for about 15 minutes
- Cool the muffins on a wire rack and ENJOY!
