Some mornings I get up and my dear hubbie has left me a surprise…an empty cookie tin with crumbs in it from my flax muffin tops. This is to signal that I should make more of them asap so he does not suffer without them even one day. When I go travelling alone without him (he does not like to make porcelain dolls, speak French, or play recorder…most of which are connected to my travel quests!)I have to ensure that a supply is on hand in the freezer.
There were a lot of flax recipes on the internet, so I tried a few and tinkered a lot, and I have what I think is a very nutritious, gluten free, tasty breakfast bread that can be toasted, can be a vehicle for jam or peanut butter, or my hubbie’s favourite, liver pate (go figure!). They also freeze very well, and easily keep a month, but I can’t proove this because the empty can usually shows up in a few days here at Riverlea.
Flax Muffin Tops
Dry ingredients:
200 g (2 cups) ground golden flaxseed, (I grind it in dry container of vitamix)
2 TBL chia seeds
2 TBL hemp hearts
1 TBL baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
3 eggs
3 TBL olive oil
1/2 cup water
Mix this all up in a bowl. Spoon batter into medium muffin greased muffin top pan. If you really want to get fancy put sesame or poppy seeds in the bottom of the wells first. Let sit at least 3 minutes for the flaxseed to soak up the liquids before baking. Bake 20 minutes at 350.
Remove from muffin top pan or at least push them up so they dont get sweaty.
Cool and eat or freeze. If you dont have a muffin top pan this also works equally well as a flat bread, just spread out on a cookie sheet so the batter is about scant 1/2 inch think.
I’m posting this for a friend, pictures to come later.
