Ingredients

2 cups flax meal- packed slightly (I grind my own in a coffee mill)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons stevia
4 eggs beaten
1/4-1/2 cup water
1/3 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
dash of banana extract (to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a medium bowl combine the flax meal, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar and salt
3. Make a well in the dry mix and add in the beaten eggs, water and olive oil or melted coconut oil and banana extract
4. Stir together the wet and dry ingredients- all the other recipes say to let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken- I don’t really find this necessary
5. Pour the batter into a greased muffin pan
6. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes until firm in the middle- don’t overbake
7. Cool on your counter and then enjoy!
