I've been having fun making variations of my original Flax Muffin recipe. I have blueberry walnut muffins in the oven right now. My favorite variation to date is the recipe that follows. I served it as a dessert and what didn't get eaten at dinner were eaten at breakfast. The banana made a super moist muffin that remained super moist overnight. The muffins didn't last any longer than that.
Banana/Chocolate Chip Flax Muffins
1 1/4 cup flax meal
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 Tbs Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
4 large Eggs
1/4 cup Coconut oil(melted or softened) or butter or ghee
3/4 cup Pure Maple syrup or agave or coconut nectar
1/4 cup Water
1 Tbs Vanilla
1 1/2 very ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips(I used ghirardelli 60%)

Banana/Chocolate Chip Flax Muffins

1/4 cup Water
1 Tbs Vanilla
1 1/2 very ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips(I used ghirardelli 60%)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Grease 12 muffins tin very well with coconut oil or line with cupcake papers.
- Mix dry ingredients together then mix in the remaining ingredients.
- Let batter stand for 10 minutes. I skipped the step the first time I made it, however I found the muffins were lighter when I don't miss this step.
- Scoop the batter into prepared muffin pan.
- Bake for 18 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool 15 to 20 minutes before removing from pan as the muffins will hold together better.
These are nutritious, delicious, real food muffins.
FYI: 2 Tbls of flax meal has 3 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber.
Tell me what variations you have tried?
ENJOY!!

I made these, but I sprinkled the chips on top and they stayed during baking. The muffins were really good! I let them cool and then put them into a zip-loc and stored in the fridge for munching on. They last well for a week and warmed in the microwave successfully! Thanks Linda.
