Notes
Who needs bran cereal when you can have these? Oats and flax are both great for digestive health (and regularity). These muffins are packed with protein and anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids.
Make ahead tip: Make in advance and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for months. Make the muffins early in the week and keep wrapped in foil for up to 1 week.
