Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients into large bowl. Combine wet ingredients into smaller bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Spoon into greased muffin tins up to the lip of the tin. Bake 15-30 minutes, depending on altitude (the higher the altitude, the longer you'll need to cook them). To keep the ultimate amount of moisture while storing, place the muffins into a ziplock bag immediately after removing them from the oven (while still piping hot). Note: If you don't have flax seed, add another egg and don't add the 3 tablespoons of water. Note: The brown sugar can be substituted with the same amount of maple syrup.
FLAX, OAT BRAN, BUCKWHEAT, & PUMPKIN MUFFINS
This recipe is adapted from the a recipe found on the Red Mill, ground Flax meal bag. For a bran muffin, these babies are moist and very tasty. I've cut the white flour by half, and added an equal amount of buckwheat flour. I've also added a can of pumpkin and reduced the amount of milk. These muffins are so fresh and moist that they will only last a few days, so I freeze what we won't eat in a couple of days.

INSANELY HEALTHY VEGAN BRAN FLAX MUFFINS
I heavily modified this recipe from Jane Massey at allrecipes.com. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Bran-Flax-Muffins/Detail.aspx I was on the hunt for the healthiest muffins ever and I couldn't find the right recipe, so I decided to mess with that one. Although, I am not vegan my roommate is and I knew I would need her help with the eating. These are sooo delicious! I went into these thinking they would be barely edible, but they ended up being really, really great and (or although) they do taste healthy. So if you don't like healthy food, this may not be the recipe for you!

- Substitute almond or soy milk: For a dairy-free option, replace regular milk with almond or soy milk.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch: Incorporate chopped walnuts, pecans, or flax seeds for added texture and nutritional value.
- Ensure accurate measurements: Precise measurements are crucial for successful baking. Use measuring cups and spoons for accurate results.
- Preheat the oven: Always preheat the oven to the specified temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
