Flax Bundles: The Breakfast Muffin of Choice

Almond flour is my new food rage. It has somehow infiltrated my daily baking and cooking routines and revolutionised the way I think about flour. Yes, flour.


If you need the perfect, fast, healthy, energy-giving breakfast bite, try these.... Gluten free, low sugar, flax-almond flour muffins.



FLAX BUNDLES

1 cup almond meal/flour
1/2 cup flax meal
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 large eggs
1 Tblsp olive oil
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
3 Tblsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup raisins (any dried berry would work as well)

1. In a large bowl combine almond meal, flax meal, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a smaller bowl blend eggs, olive oil, apple sauce, honey, vanilla, and water.
3. Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix in flax seeds and raisins.
4. Spoon 1 Tblsp of batter into lined muffin tins. I put a dollop of butter on top of each muffin batter before baking to make them golden and soft on top, but this is optional.
5. Bake at 350F for 20-25mins.
Makes about 12 muffins.

Tip: If you are buying almond flour for the first time, know that it needs to be stored in a plastic bag or air tight container in the fridge.

These are an easy on-the-go breakfast that are healthy, low carb, high protein, and therefore give lots of energy! Enjoy!

If you eat flax bundles for breakfast, your legs will end up looking fab enough to rock leather shorts...
