This morning, I was greeted by six very overripe bananas in my fruit bowl. You all know what that means. Another opportunity to stuff a baked good with ground flax! These are pretty good. The quantities were thrown off by my attempt to get 2 tablespoons of ground flax into every muffin without eliminating all of the flour. It ended up making 15 very large muffins instead of 12. (I used extra large muffin tin liners, so if you just bake them right in the pan or use smaller liners, you will get a larger quantity of smaller sized muffins.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
6 overripe bananas, mashed
2 cups ground flax seed
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup skim milk
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Mash the bananas and combine with oil, skim, milk, beaten eggs, and sugar.
2. Combine dry ingredients.
3. Mix wet and dry ingredients together.
4. Fill greased muffin pans (you can use liners or not) and fill each 2/3 full. (As noted previously, if unlike me, you do not use extra large muffin liners, you will make a larger quantity of smaller muffins.)
5. Bake 15-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
My Eyes Are Up Here 
Recipe sounds good. I would have to figure carbs of course but I think it would be worth my time.
Would liquid flaxseed oil work for you? Or do you need the fiber?
I need fiber and also, if I’m remembering correctly, the oil doesn’t have lignens in it, which help with hormone balance.
Interesting!
How are you buying all that flax? Isn’t it expensive? In all seriousness, I bought good quality, bulk flax at a feed store. You have to pick out the occasional weed or rock, but it was infinitely cheaper than grocery store bought. Flax seed makes excellent heat packs since the oil keeps the heat better. I made flax seed hot packs for use with my massage clients. But I haven’t priced flax seed in years, so maybe the price has come down as the availability has increased?
I’ve spent ten dollars on organic ground flax meal from the regular grocery store. Once a package is opened, it has to go to the fridge since it’s already ground. I haven’t used it all yet and I will have lots of baked flax items in the freezer. I was planning to order more from Amazon when I need it. They sell multiple packages at reduced price. Since I am an Amazon Prime member it is shipped free within two days.
Good to know. $10 isn’t bad at all.
Yeah it works out to five dollars a pound. I can get the same thing for about three a pound on Amazon. My problem is storage space, though. It’s hard to buy things in larger quantities. So I might stick with the regular grocery store. Or Costco!!! (I kid.)
What do you mean, I kid? Costco carries ground flaxseed.
Are you picking on my store?
Beth has an aversion to Costco. I was kidding her.
It tests your will power.
Yeah, but for Beth it tests her sanity.
I see.
I have so little of it left, I can’t risk using it all up on Costco.
