Muffins are at the top of my "Cannot Eat List", along with donuts and other morning pastries. Well, not anymore... Thanks to a recipe I adapted from Dr. Oz, muffins are back in my life - for good! This recipe takes about 2 minutes to make, but sticks with you for hours, curbing mindless snacking all morning. This power muffin contains ground flax seeds (flax meal) as the main ingredient. There is evidence that this super food might reduce inflammation as well as your risk of heart disease, certain kinds of cancers, stroke and diabetes. What's better than that? The homey smell it makes in your kitchen!
