Print Recipe
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 tbsp Flax Seed
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon ground
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup no added sugar applesauce
  • ¼ cup oil like canola or light olive oil
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grind flax seed (or use flax meal) and combine with water. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes while preparing and measuring the other ingredients.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl- flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together wet ingredients: applesauce, honey, canola oil and flax seed mixture.
  • Slowly incorporate dry ingredients into wet. Then carefully stir in the blueberries. Line muffin tin with papers and spray with oil spray (I use a Misto). Fill muffin tin and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool and enjoy!
