Flax 'n Fruit Muffins

Favor Flaxseed

Flaxseed is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA is an omega 3-fatty acids--the kind that may help reduce bad LDL cholesterol and lower blood pressure.

Did You Know?

The best way to receive the most benefits from flax is to grind the seed with a coffee grinder. Once the flax has been ground, it should be kept in the refrigerator or frozen.

makes:12 muffins

1	box (15.3 oz) Fiber One™ apple cinnamon muffin mix
1/4	cup ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal
1/3	cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/3	cup chopped walnuts
3/4	cup water
2	tablespoons vegetable oil
3	egg whites or 1/2 cup egg substitute

1.	Heat oven to 400°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups, or grease (or use cooking spray) bottoms of muffin cups. (For best results, use paper cups.)

3.	Bake 17 to 21 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back when touched. Cool 5 minutes; carefully remove from pan (if not using paper cups, run knife around edges of cups before removing). Cool completely before storing.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Spray muffin cup liners with cooking spray to avoid sticking. Yield=18 muffins.
