Flax For Life Muffins Where To Buy
Since becoming gluten free, I have missed old fashioned whole grain bran muffins with raisins. Since flax looks somewhat like wheat bran, I'll try to use your recipe to replicate my old favorite Bran Muffins.I'll sub Molasses for the white sugar, use 2 tsp. baking powder + 1/2 tsp baking soda, and sub 2-4 TBSP coconut flour for as part of the GF 1:1 flour (to balance the extra moisture of molasses) and add some light & dark raisins (1-2 tsp per muffin).

Camilla, these flax seed muffins are sooo good. I doubled the recipe added dried dates and a few chocolate chips I used 1/2 cup of maple syrup for the doubled recipe and they were plenty sweet. I will be making these again and again!!!!
Objective: To compare the effects of daily ingestion of soy flour (S), ground flaxseed (F), or wheat flour (W) muffins, on quality of life and hot flash frequency and severity in postmenopausal women.
Design: This was a double-blind, randomized, controlled, intention-to-treat trial. Ninety-nine women, 1 to 8 years after menopause, ingested muffins with 25 g of flaxseed (50 mg of lignans), 25 g of soy (42 mg of isoflavones), or wheat (control) daily for 16 weeks. Subjects completed the Menopause-specific Quality of Life instrument monthly along with daily hot flash frequency and severity diaries. Compliance measures included a 3-day food diary and urinary isoflavone and lignan analyses at weeks 0 and 16 and returned muffin counts monthly.
Results: Eighty-seven women (28, ground flaxseed muffins; 31, soy flour muffins; and 28, wheat flour muffins) completed the trial. Multivariate analysis of variance of all quality-of-life domains yielded an insignificant treatment x time interaction (F46,122 = 0.92, P = 0.62) but a significant time main effect (P
Hi Sam! I have not tried substituting flax eggs for the real eggs. My guess is that these muffins really do need the eggs. You may be able to add in a little bit more flax without changing the eggs. Hope you love them!
Thompson says, "Ground flaxseed, in general, is a great first choice, but there may be specific situations where flax oil or the lignans (taken in amounts naturally found in flaxseed) might be as good."
These muffins are packed with fiber from the ground almonds, flax and oat bran. Oat bran isn't an ingredient I use that often, but I should! It has a lot of soluble fiber and once it reaches the digestive system absorbs nearly 25 times its weight in liquid. This means it fills it keeps you fuller longer. In comparison, it has about 50% more fiber than oatmeal.
Saturated fats are animal products that tend to be solid at room temperature and melt when heated - e.g. meat, lard, poultry skin and butter. Trans fats are artificially created hydrogenated oil. These are used for cooking or 'hidden' in packaged products to increase their shelf life - examples are crackers, cookies, donuts, pastries, muffins, croissants, snack foods, french fries and breaded foods. 041b061a72
