Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 0.5 cups Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the almond milk, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
