I haven't experimented with flaxseed yet but have been wanting to. Did you buy the whole seed & grind?
ReplyDeleteJEP: While we do grind a fair amount of our own spices in the molcajete, I do buy the flaxseed already ground. Bob's Red Mill is the brand I normally use and is quite affordable, even cheaper than grinding your own.
ReplyDeleteI've got some questions about freezing the muffins. I've heard it said that if you put bread in the fridge, it slows down any mold that might grow, but makes it go stale faster. Is that true for muffins, too? Do they still taste yummy fresh after having been frozen? Because that would make breakfast during the week a LOT easier if I could rely on that!
ReplyDeleteSalgal: I find that quick breads and muffins keep for quite a while in the freezer. Of course they are not quite as good as they are fresh from the oven, but pretty close. We just defrost as many as we are going to eat in one sitting. And frankly, if you make 12 muffins and eat 2 a day, they will be gone in less than a week so they don't spend much time in the freezer.
ReplyDeletewe use flax in so many things now....these muffins look great and I love your site!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this recipe. I'm always on the hunt for healthy snacks that I can incorporate into lunches.

Salgal,Although refrigeration does make breadproducts go stale more quickly (due to the dryness of cold air), freezing actually helps maintain their moistness.Fear not, I've successfully frozen all kinds of muffins.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have trouble with muffins sticking to the paper cups; do you have suggestions for avoiding this?
ReplyDeleteIndu: I'd make sure the muffin has enough fat in it.
