Flaxseed ranks right up there with soy as one of today's miracle foods. Here's a recipe to help you include more flax in your diet.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup flaxseed meal (process flaxseeds in a coffee grinder)
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup egg substitute (or two eggs)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 2/3 cup raisins
Directions: Mix all dry ingredients (except the raisins) in a large bowl. Combine liquid ingredients in a separate bowl. Stir liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients all at once. Add raisins. Stir until thoroughly moistened but lumpy. Fill muffin tins, lined with paper or foil cups, to about 2/3 full. Bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve with jam.
