Thanks for this! Have used this recipe as a basis for experimenting twice– jumped off from the recipe as follows: in both cases I added a shredded carrot and 1/4 cup ground almonds (used a spice grinder for this). I used whole wheat pastry flour, reduced/subbed 1/4 cup maple syrup for the 1/2 cup agave. first time round the muffins seemed a little wet but I was trying to eat them warm, harder to do with fat free baking. After waiting impatiently, they cooled down to a lovely moist cakey texture and on day 2 even better moisture balqnce. The next time I was nearly out of applesauce, so used a whole ripe pear that I ran through the blender after seed/stem removsl. I think I may have been 1/4 cup shy of the full 1 cup of “applesauce” but the result I have to say was awesome, a little less moist but great texture. The two of us ate the whole pan in a day… and will add this to our keper file!

Bonnie, I think you’re probably right that it should be ground flax.

These were very tasty, but I’m wondering if the 2 T flax for the wet ingredients is supposed to be ground flax like the 1 T of ground flax for the dry ingredients or if it supposed to be the complete seed.

These are easy to make and delicious! I added about a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice to give them a bit more flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

I have whole chia seeds. What is the equivalent if I use my whole chia seeds instead of ground ones?

Hi, Bob’s Red Mill has chia seeds and they are available in most natural food stores. I buy mine bulk (cheaper) at http://www.bulkfoods.com/whole-foods.asp?wholesale=1601 They are not cheap but they are a great source of Omega 3’s and very useful for thickening homemade salad dressings.

Thanks for the info on flax meal. I think a lot of the information about the negative effects of heat on oil the comes from studies on the oil after it’s been extracted from the seed.
