I love these!!! AND they're healthy! Really, they are! They smell so good, and the taste is so wonderful. Try them and see for yourself :] However, this is obviously more of a healthy muffin, and therefor not likely to be sugary, but feel free to add more sugar if wanted.

FLAX SEED MUFFINS
I got this recipe from a flax seed site and it is one I make often. The recipe says it makes 12 muffins, but because it has so much flax in it, I make 18. I have only made this with freshly ground flax seed as that is all I use. This has a very nutty flavor and is great with dried fruit. Please Note: Only eat one a day!!!! THESE ARE SUPER POTENT!!!

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.

Tips:
- Muffins are best when they stay moist. To achieve this, make sure not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to dry muffins. It's best to mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
- If you want your muffins to have a crispy top, sprinkle some sugar on them before baking. This will create a nice caramelized crust.
- Muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When storing in the freezer, place the muffins in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
- Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique muffin recipes. You can add fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or even vegetables to the batter.
- Muffins are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. If you have some bananas or apples that are about to go bad, you can add them to your muffin batter.
