BANANA AND FLAX SEED MUFFINS
Family favorite. They don't last long. Taste great from the oven. I like to freeze leftovers the same day. Great for breakfast or lunch pails. Freeze ripe bananas until you're ready to do some baking.

BANANA FLAX MUFFINS
This is a recipe I came up with for flax seed using recipe #9176 by Evie*. I tried changing it and it worked perfectly. I sometimes add dried or freeze-dried fruit to these. This recipe make a wonderful flax muffin. The addition of flax seed to recipes gives a nutty flavor without nuts.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Try to use bananas that are at least half brown or even completely brown.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before baking allows the flaxseed to absorb some of the liquid and helps the muffins rise better.
- Fill the muffin cups properly: Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins may overflow in the oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
