BRAN FLAX MUFFINS

The first time I made these muffins was quite a long time ago! I discovered the recipe from Bob's Red Mill (on the back of a package of ground flaxseed meal). I was homeschooling all 3 of our boys at the time. Besides teaching them, I spent a lot of my time cooking and baking and writing here on my blog.

Fast forward, quite a few years, and our youngest is in the final 5 weeks of his high school career! Even though we haven't homeschooled for four years, he is once again doing "school at home" during the COVID19 pandemic. On the plus side, I have been baking more, and am doing some more posting on my neglected blog!

I made these yummy muffins yesterday and realized that I had never included this in my recipe collection on 2 Make Ends Meet before! So here you go!
