Blueberry flax muffins | Feelingfoodish.com

These were soooo goood!!

My daughter has been asking me to make blueberry muffins for days. I’m not sure what got into her, but the muffins had to be blueberry. Not chocolate. Not apple. Not anything but blueberry.

Of course, being the sneaky mom that I am, I opted to make flax seed blueberry muffins that also had white chia seeds in them. I also used some whole wheat flour in the mix, and you would never. even. know it. These were delicious, and I will definitely be making these again sometime soon!

I also recently made apple muffins with sprouted whole wheat – they were also very good, but I didn’t fill the liners enough and so they came out sort of flatish. What I’ve learned so far about muffins is that they don’t rise nearly as much as cupcakes do, yet they are tender and moist.

Try these out for breakfast or a mid-day snack, before bed snack, or anytime really!

Enjoy!
