These classic wholesome raisin bran muffins are a great way to start the day. Loaded with heart healthy nutrients and completely irresistible. I promise they wont last long in your house!
In this recipe, I added a table spoon of golden ground flaxseed for the added nutritional benefits. Flaxseed a good source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) a type of omega-3 that promotes heart health, reduces inflammation, and prevents cholesterols from being deposited into your blood vessels. It is also a good source of protein and fiber, and high in thiamine. In addition to adding ground flax seed into muffins; you can also add it to smoothies, your morning oatmeal, or yogurt parfait.
