Breakfast this morning:)

[Guest guest]

YUM!!!This is from Sally Errey, " Alive " magazine contributor, an

acclaimed speaker and author of a couple of cookbooks. She can be

found @ myhappytummy.com I was very happy with the way these muffins

turned out. I think they are actually called Moist Flaxseed

Muffins)They were great for bf but we also had them at lunch with a

spinach quiche and lentils with sea vegetable,carrots & celery..YUM.

 

BYG Morning Muffins

 

1 1/4 C boiling water

1/2c apricots, chopped

3c ground flax seeds

1c whole wheat flour

1tsp baking powder

1tsp baking soda

1/2tsp salt

2 eggs ( organic/free range is best of course)

1/3 to 1/2 c organic molasses

1/2 c pumpkin puree

1 very ripe banana

1tsp cinnamon

1/2tsp ground ginger

1/2tsp ground allspice

 

Preheat over to 350deg. Pour boiling water over the apricots to

soften. In a large bowl, mix together ground flaxseeds, flour, baking

powder baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, molasses,

and pumpkin puree and mashed banana. Add cinnamon, ginger, and

allspice. Make a well in the dry mixture and pour in the cooled

apricot mixture and the puree mixture. Stir just until combined, then

spoon into a greased mffin tin. Bake 20 minutes. Makes 12 yummy muffins.

 

A note: I didn't have pumpkin so I used applesauce and 1 & 1/2 bananas

cuz I didn't have enough applesauce(it was great, but I think it would

have been even better with pumpkin)I also thought it needed a little

sweetness to pass the approval of my kids, so I added some honey.

Molasses is something I have to sneak past my kids(we used to

practically live on it and dry cereal when we were super poor:)so

honey makes it better:)Also, I was also out of ww flour so I used a

combo of spelt and unlbleached white cuz it's what I had~ I also added

walnuts b/c I think my muffins have to be crunchy(like me:)I think

that is it...I know I changed a lot~but I am also the person whose

husband refuses to stand by in Starbucks because when they call out my

coffee it goes something like " tall soy decaf no whip pumpkin spice

latte " He is just boring, Mr. triple compana (3 shots of espresso+whip

cream)

 

Enjoy:)
