My flax muffin in a minute came out too dry. Any suggestions to moisten it?
Any tips to keep it from being so dry.
I made a muffin in a minute last night
There's are the ingredients I used:
1 packet splenda (In general I will use stevia but I thought I'd start with splenda cause I knew the sweetness would come out right and I wouldn't have to worry about toggling it.
1 tsp lemon extract
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp oil
1/4 flax ground meal
1/4 cup egg whites (from carton)

I have used sugar free maple syrup,sf chocolate syrup, but primarily I use agave syrup. Calories yes, but lower on the glycemic index. I do wonder how unsweetened applesauce would work though. I also use a full egg, maybe that helps.
“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
Ooh. I might try the yogurt next time I make it.

I make mine with:
1/4c toasted flax meal (Costco)
1 large egg
1 packet Splenda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp water

Don't be afraid of using a real egg. Yes, it has fat - we need some fat.
Yes, it has cholesterol - it also has lecithin, so no probs.
I also multiply the recipe and either make "pancakes" or actual baked muffins. They're extremely filling, so I make mini size. (each about 1/3 of this recipe)
