Bran Flax Muffins

• 1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 3/4 cup Brown Flaxseed Meal
• 3/4 cup Oat Bran Cereal
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar (light or dark) OR 1/2 cup Jam or Jelly any flavor
• 2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 2 tsp Cinnamon, Saigon (Premium)
• 1 1/2 cups finely shredded Carrots
• 2 peeled and shredded Apples
• 1/2 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped Nuts
• 3/4 cup Milk or Yogurt (if using jam, reduce liquid ingredient to 1/2 cup)
• 2 beaten Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• (totally optional) 2 tbsp Butter or Peanut butter or a combo

1. Directions
2. Mix together dry ingredients: flour, Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in carrots, apples, raisins (if desired) and nuts. In a separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients: milk (or yogurt), Jelly (if you are using instead of brown sugar), beaten eggs, vanilla (and optional butter/peanut butter).
3. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir JUST until dry ingredients become moistened. DO NOT OVER MIX. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
4. Notes:
5. You can also use 1 1/2 cups Unbleached White Flour in place of the Whole Wheat Pastry Flour.
6. For a twist on this great recipe- try substituting 3/4 cup Hazelnut Meal in place of the Oat Bran.
