Notes

  • This is the recipe link that you will need in order to make Flax Eggs.
  • I'm using my homemade Gluten Free Flour Blend, if you choose to use any type of GF flour the results may vary.
  • This recipe should make up to 10 standard size muffins.
  • Any leftovers should be stored (when cool) in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • I recommend consuming the muffins without freezing them as they hold up a lot better.
  • Feel free to add mixed nuts/seeds, berries or other dried fruit.
