Thanks for the great recipe. I do have a question though. I bought a stevia plant. How did you grind the stevia or did you buy it already in the form to be make with a recipe. I love to share the taste of the plant with friends. Thank you again so much. I also use flax as a breakfast cereal and add soy milk and splenda - maybe stieial would work???

CHOCOLATE FLAX SEED MUFFINS
Pre-heat oven 350 F

1 c flax seed meal
1/2 c whey protein powder chocolate flavour
4 tbsp oil
1/4 cup splenda
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp artificial maple extract
1/2 tsp salt
2 oz chopped almonds (optional)
1 c water

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, let stand for 3 minutes.
Spray a 12 muffin pan with non-stick spray. Spoon batter eavenly into muffin tins. Bake 25-30 minutes.

(To make these more chocolatey I added 1 T. of cocoa powder and 1/4 t. of stevia.)

Victoria - thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It is a definite keeper.
Question - Do you find that these stick? I greased the muffins tins really well, but they don't come out clean. I am using muffin papers now.

Sharon - this would be a great one to add to the archives, IMHO.
