Strawberry and Flaxseed Vegan Muffins

Tweet

It is strawberry season here in Texas and I just happened to come across one pound of strawberries for one dollar. So you know I had to give you another strawberry recipe. Remember as a vegan we try to eat in season so that produce is as fresh as possible. In today’s recipe the strawberries were sourced from the strawberry fields in Poteet, Texas. That is three and a half hour drive from me so you know they are going to be good.

What ingredients will you need for these strawberry muffins?

I love baking with whole wheat flour, so in this recipe I used it and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I have been eating these muffins for three days. After they have completely cooled I stored them in an air tight container and then popped them in the microwave for one minute when I was ready to snack on them. For the sweetness component here I used coconut sugar as well as a sprinkle of cane sugar to garnish and create this beautiful crust on the top surface of the muffin. I know the strawberries are the star of recipe here but I honestly love the addition of flax meal here. If you had asked me ten years ago to make a muffin out of flax meal I would have been confused. But now that I know all the benefits that flax seeds offer I use them every time I can. They offer so much fiber without all the carbohydrates as well as makes you feel satisfied a longer time. Let’s begin shall we!
